Frequently Asked Questions

How can we solve your problems?

RIVCHPP has answers to common questions about enrollment, coverage, and accessing care.

Rivers State Contributory Health Protection Programme is the social health insurance scheme of the Rivers State Government where healthcare services for beneficiaries are paid from a common pool of funds.

RIVCHPP covers a wide range of healthcare services including preventive care, hospitalization, and specialized treatments. It covers most common diseases in the environment, though some conditions are on the exclusion list.

Enrollment is open to all residents of Rivers State, Nigeria — including individuals, families, and businesses. The programme is inclusive, catering to diverse healthcare needs across all populations.

Coverage begins 60 days after enrollment. Once active, you can access care up to twice a month at your chosen facility, except in emergencies where immediate care is available.

No, if you are on the Basic Healthcare Provision Fund (BHCPF) plan. For other plans, you only pay 15% of the total cost of drugs if instructed to purchase outside the facility.

Yes, but only after 6 months of using your previous chosen facility. Contact the RIVCHPP office to initiate a facility change request.

A premium is an agreed amount paid in advance that entitles you to access healthcare value within a period — often worth significantly more than the premium paid, protecting you against unexpected healthcare costs.
