A.National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA)

B.National Insurance Commission (NAICOM)

C.Nigerian Insurers Association (NIA)

A.National Insurance Commission (NAICOM)

B.National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA)

C.Chartered Insurance Institute of Nigeria (CIIN)

D.Health Maintenance Organisation Association of Nigeria

Explanation: NAICOM supervises insurers, brokers and agents under the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA) 2025 and the NAICOM Act 1997 (NIIRA 2025 repealed and replaced the former Insurance Act 2003). Health insurers selling private medical and health products must comply with NAICOM prudential and conduct requirements alongside NHIA scheme rules where applicable.

A.Third-party administrator managing enrolment, premium collection and provider networks for health plans

B.Reinsurer accepting surplus healthcare risks from life insurers only

C.Court-appointed liquidator for failed hospitals

D.Tax authority collecting VAT on medical devices

Explanation: HMOs are third-party administrators that manage health insurance operations including enrolment, premium administration, provider contracting and claims coordination between schemes, employers and healthcare providers.

4Under the NHIA Act 2022, which entities may be registered as third-party administrators alongside HMOs?

A.Mutual Health Associations and other TPAs accredited by the Authority

B.Only commercial banks licensed by the CBN

C.Pharmaceutical manufacturers exclusively

D.Foreign reinsurers without local incorporation

Explanation: The NHIA Act expands third-party administration beyond HMOs to include Mutual Health Associations and other TPAs registered by the Authority, broadening administration options for state and private schemes.

5Private healthcare providers that reinvest surplus into better facilities and care, rather than distributing profits to external shareholders, are often structured as:

A.Proprietary insurers

B.Provident associations or mutual organisations

C.Reinsurance pools

D.Captive finance companies

Explanation: Provident associations and mutual organisations run healthcare arrangements for the benefit of members, reinvesting surpluses into services. Proprietary insurers distribute profits to shareholders.

6Which market segment describes employer-sponsored private medical schemes administered for staff groups?

A.Corporate or group medical insurance

B.Individual retail travel insurance only

C.Micro-insurance crop cover

Explanation: Corporate or group medical insurance covers employees (and often dependants) under arrangements funded by the employer, frequently administered through insurers, HMOs or employee healthcare trusts.

7Reinsurance support to the healthcare insurance market typically includes:

A.Capital relief, stop-loss protection and assistance with product design and claims analytics

B.Direct treatment of patients in NHIA-accredited PHC centres

C.Issuing of NHIA enrollee identity cards

D.Setting hospital consultation fees for public sector doctors

Explanation: Reinsurers provide capacity, stop-loss covers and technical support including underwriting and claims management expertise, helping primary health insurers manage volatility and large losses.

8An employer healthcare trust in the UK market is best described as:

A.A vehicle where the employer funds employee healthcare benefits under trust rules, sometimes with stop-loss insurance

B.A mandatory NHIA state scheme for civil servants

C.A NAICOM capital adequacy calculation method

D.A dental capitation plan sold directly by dentists

Explanation: Employee healthcare trusts hold employer contributions to pay member benefits according to trust deeds. Employers may buy stop-loss insurance to cap liability, distinguishing trusts from fully insured PMI.

9Which distribution channel is commonly used for growing employer-sponsored private medical arrangements?

A.Third-party administrators and employee benefits consultants

B.Customs clearing agents at seaports

C.Motor vehicle inspection officers

D.Crop loss assessors

Explanation: TPAs administer schemes while employee benefits consultants advise employers on plan design, insurer selection and compliance, making them central distribution and service channels for group healthcare.

10In comparing Nigeria and UK healthcare insurance structures, CIIN F08 candidates should understand that:

A.Nigeria combines NHIA-regulated social health insurance with NAICOM-regulated private health insurance, while the UK pairs NHS tax-funded care with private medical insurance

B.Both countries fund all healthcare solely through private PMI with no public system

C.NAICOM operates the NHS on behalf of the UK government

D.NHIA underwrites aviation insurance for Nigerian airlines

Explanation: The CIIN syllabus requires knowledge of Nigeria and UK structures: NHIA integrates social health insurance in Nigeria while NAICOM supervises insurers; the UK combines NHS provision with a private PMI market regulated by the FCA.
