SHIF (Standard Health Insurance Fees)

These are the highest amounts your health insurance company will pay a provider for the services you receive. In the Cayman Islands this is set by the Health Insurance Commission: a look-up tool of SHIF can be found at: dhrs.gov.ky – then click on HIC and Standard Fees. Providers may charge you higher than the SHIF and can bill the patient for the additional amounts; thus you are encouraged to verify charges and coverage levels before services are rendered.
