EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The National Social Security Fund (NSSF) is among much formal social security inTanzania. It has branches spread all over regional centers in Tanzania, has also managed to
open branches at district level in Tanzania. The purpose of the scheme is to offer protection
to its members against economic and social distress that otherwise would have been caused
by suddenly stoppage or substantial reduction in earnings as a result of old age, invalidity
and death of the bread winner, employment injury and maternity benefits. The scheme
covers the health care needs of a member and his/her immediate family. The fund also
assists with funeral expenses when a member dies.
The field training took eight weeks at National Social Security Fund (NSSF) and during
these eight weeks I perform different task and duties. The task I undertaken was distributing
of SHIB forms to members, files the name of those members who suffer from diabetes
mellitus, offering information about SHIB issue to members of NSSF, entering the cards in
to the computer, entering the accredited medical provider in to the system, writing the letter
for those who requesting refund for spectacles, renew SHIB agreements/contract. These
different activities I performed during the field training I found that good services will
attract more members to join SHIB in order to get benefits.
From the tasks I undertook I learned that there are three levels of accredited medical
providers which are dispensary, health care and hospitals. Also I learned that there are some
other medical services shall not be covered by the scheme because they are covered by other
nation vertical programs. They are considered as self-inflicted or luxurious.
Briefly explain your conclusion and recommendation
The work I under take during the field is not different from what I have learned in the class.
I performing these different task and duties and I came to conclusion that good service has
advantages. If service provided properly the number of beneficiaries will increase.

WORKDONE AND REASSONS LEARNT
This chapter explains the tasks that I did in Social Health Insurance Benefit (SHIB) at NSSF
HQ Posta. It also explains the lessons from the tasks.
I. WORKDONE
During the field work at SHIB which is under NSSF, I went through different tasks related
to beneficiaries and hospitals for a period of eight weeks. Different tasks were undertaken
and lesson learned from the tasks were summarized and written down at daily bases.
The following are the tasks undertaken during the field work for eight weeks,
Firstly, I was oriented into the administration of about SHIB forms. There are ten types of
SHIB forms. The table below shows a list of SHIB forms.

Secondly, another activity which I performed was offering information about SHIB to
beneficiaries of NSSF, The aim was to inform all members of NSSF about objectives, and
benefits services covered under SHIB. Through this members will join SHIB and enjoy
different health services.
Thirdly, I filed the names of the beneficiaries who suffered from Diabetes Mellitus (DM).
Each name is recorded with medicine and amount of that medicine as well as the date that
beneficiaries visit the accredited medical providers.
Fourthly, another task I did was to renew SHIB agreements/contracts, SHIB use two
agreements /contracts which are capitation and fee per visit. These agreements are used in
making payments for health services rendered to SHIB beneficiaries.
Fifthly, I collected the cards from different files and arrange that according to hospitals and
put in to shelf thatpebbled different regions with different hospitals that provide benefitswith NSSF agreement.
Furthermore, Distribution of SHIB forms to members was another activity which I
performed. The form I distribute is form SHIB 4 (beneficiary amendment form) and form
SHIB 5 (provider change form),

More than that, I got the knowledge about payment procedures which are capitation fee
system and fee per visit system in making payment for healthcare services rendered to SHIB
beneficiaries.
Entering the accredited medical provider in to the system, this was done successfully by
considering the important information about the accredited medical provider if it is at level
of dispensary, healthcare or hospital.
Writing the letter for those who requesting refund for spectacles.
II. LESSONS LEARNT
This section explains the lessons learnt during the field work under Social Health Insurance
Benefit (SHIB) at NSSF.
Firstly, I got the knowledge about all SHIB Forms each of which contains details as follows,
Accreditation form is the form that should be filled by the hospital that entered in to a
contract with NSSF and the certificate of accreditation (form SHIB 2) should be displayed
in a prominent place at the Healthcare providers premises and it should be surrendered to
the Fund upon revocation of accreditation.
Form SHIB 3A and form SHIB 3B contains personal details of principal member and
dependant details. Form SHIB 3A is for those pensioners because in order for a pensioner to
get benefit from SHIB must accept to contribute 6% each month and form SHIB 3B is for
NSSF beneficiaries who join SHIB in order to get benefit. This form SHIB 3A and form
SHIB 3B must be attached with a copy of marriage certificate for spouse and birth
certificate for children.
Form SHIB 4 involves personal details of principal member and amendment sought. This
form shows information about removal of dependants or additional of dependants. The
member must attach a copy of marriage certificate for spouse and birth certificate for
children /other dependants. When a member decides to make some changes to dependents
by adding or removing them must fill this form and submit all certificates required.

Form SHIB 5 is for members who want to change the provider (Healthcare provider). The
member must state the reasons for changing medical provider at this form. Through this
form I discover that many beneficiaries decide to change the provider and choose the better
one because of poor services that provided by that accredited medical provider.
Form SHIB 6 is filled by accreditation medical provider when member of NSSF visit that
hospital. Reason for visit is shown as well as amount of medicine and medicine taken. I
learned that fee per visit is a pre determination fixed amount to be paid to a medical
provider for each visit a beneficiary makes to the facility regardless of the individual
services the beneficiary will receive.
Form SHIB 7 is for beneficiaries who referred to another hospital and reason for referral
must be shown. Beneficiaries will be referred only to a selected SHIB referral hospital in
each region or known referral hospital. I learned that the referral system of patients from one
unit to another shall therefore follow the skills that are required to address the clinical
problems of the patient or ministry of health protocol. In this case all referral cases shall be
processed though dully filled form SHIB 7.
Form SHIB 8 is given to a member who travels from his or her own residence. This allows
him or her to get services. From this task I learned that emergence services for members
travelling on duty, inpatient is not more than two times per year.
Secondly, I learned that only beneficiaries of NSSF are allowed to join SHIB and enjoy benefits services covered. Also I learned that some other medical services shall not be
covered by the scheme because they are covered by other national vertical programs. They
are considered as self-inflicted or considered as luxuries.
Thirdly, from all the tasks I undertook I learned how to prepare and file the document that
need to be stored in the file and also I learned that this disease Diabetes Mellitus (DM) isone of the services/treatment provided by the government free of charge. Therefore SHIB
collect data on that in order to know how many beneficiaries suffered from Diabetes
Mellitus.

Fourthly, SHIB use two agreements (contracts) which are capitation and fee per visit. These
two contracts are used in making payment for health services rendered to SHIB
beneficiaries.
Fifthly, from the activity of arranging the cards in the shelf, help me to understand that there
is shelf of each region. That shelf shows all hospital of that region which provides services
under contract with NSSF. Member's cards are stored to that shelf with regard to region and
hospitals.
Furthermore, from the task I undertook I leaned that form SHIB 4 allow members to add or
reduce number of dependants also form SHIB 5 is filled by beneficiaries who need to
change the accredited medical provider with different reasons.
More than that, I learned that the fee per visit system shall only be used for designated SHIB
referral hospitals or facilities having less than 50 beneficiaries registered with them. Also
capitation payment system consist the fee itself, the time period for capitation fee and the
amount of the capitation.
The accredited medical providers must have full information about the name of the hospital,
allocation designation, date that established area, fax and telephone number in order to be
successfully registered in to the system.
I learned how to write the letter for those who requesting refund for spectacles and how to
file that letters

PART D
CONCLUSION
NSSF is a good Fund in Tanzania because of its larger extent and level of the
coverage, large number of members, and many number of benefits given under the fund.
Also NSSF have good workers who help me during the field work without any collision and
harvest a lot of work experience, advanced knowledge, and deserved skills in social
security.

PART E
RECOMMENDATIONS
The fund must take importance steps to recover the funds status so as to straight the
management system, to influence its workers to improve and show good and quality
services within the funds operations, to processes the benefits faster, even motivation on
the workers things may help workers to show fully participation in funds activities, increase
number of fund workers as to defeat the members population relatively.
