Idea: Beneficiary self management portal
Content
Summary
A beneficiary self-management portal which allows viewing and – to some extend - personal information changes on the platform:
• Beneficiary should see the claims paid by which provider
• Feedback on quality of services (not on medical interventions) could be included.
• Self-renewing functions for periodic payments
• Reminders (e.g. renewal activities, payment delays)

Subsequently various contributions were received in exchanges during the IC call and especially inputs from documents shared by @Luciana Rajula, @Nirmal Dhakal & @Saurav Bhattarai for similar solutions from the Kenyan, Nepal and Cambodia.
