PhilHealth Statement
We hope Dr. De Grano will rethink his call to his member hospitals to go on PhilHealth holiday. Eventually, it will be the Filipino people who will suffer the consequences of such a call.
As of December 24, 2021, PhilHealth has fast-tracked the release of P11.64 billion for payment of claims thru the Debit Credit Payment Method (DCPM) to hospital partners nationwide.
Under the third wave, all hospitals treating Covid patients and those offering the PhilHealth testing package can now avail of DCPM.
To date, 182 hospitals have submitted their letter of intent to participate in DCPM 3.
With the welfare of patients in mind, PhilHealth is constantly conducting reconciliation meetings on claims reimbursement issues with all its hospital partners nationwide to ensure continuing availment of members’ benefits.
