How to become a provider?

REQUIREMENTS

In order to become a Provider, the Provider Application Form must be completed by the owner of the Private Sector Pharmacy or a duly authorized officer. Kindly provide us with originals or certified copies of the following:

• Pharmacy Council Certificate of Registration of the Shop
• Pharmacy Council Certificate of Registration of the Registering Pharmacist
• Certificate of Business Registration-Registrar of Companies (if applicable)
• Certificate/Articles of Incorporation and Articles/Memorandum of Association
• N.B. Where there is a change of Directors, kindly submit supporting documents verifying this change
• TRN (Business)
• Police Record
• Character Reference

It is mandatory that the owner(s)/director(s) of the pharmacy provide the NHF with a Police Record done within the last six months (Existing Providers who are already certified with the Pharmacy Council of Jamaica need not supply). In addition, one character reference will be required for each of the listed owners/directors from the following list:

I. Attorney-at-Law
II. Minister of Religion
III. Notary Public
IV. Justice of the Peace
V. Superintendent of Police or higher rank

Applications for provider status will not be considered unless these documents are up-to-date at the time of application. After review of all relevant documents submitted, if considered for acceptance, the applicant shall be offered a Provider Agreement/Contract which will specify the Provider’s contractual obligations, operational procedures and requirements of the National Health Fund. 

The review process normally takes three weeks once the completed application and all relevant documents are submitted to the National Health Fund. Thank you for your co-operation and we look forward to receiving your completed application.
