last week

Taliwas sa ikinakalat ng ilan online siniguro ng PhilHealth na tuloy ang pagbibigay-benepisyo sa publiko kahit tinanggalan ito ng government subsidy sa 2025 proposed national budget. Tataasan pa nga ang mga sasagutin nila sa pagpapagamot ng mga pasyente at may mga bago ring packages.

00:00Some are spreading online that PhilHealth will continue to provide benefits to the public

00:08even if the government subsidies are removed from the 2025 proposed national budget.

00:14They will also increase the amount of money they will pay for the treatment of patients.

00:19And there are also new packages.

00:21This is Maki Pulido.

00:23To process the guarantee letter from Marian at the Malasakit Center,

00:31she left home at 3 a.m. to be the first in line.

00:35Even at 8 a.m., the Malasakit Center will open.

00:38After waiting for a few hours, she will get the medicine from the authorized drugstore

00:42for the mother who is suffering from peritoneal dialysis.

00:46PhilHealth does not provide the medicines that reach 20 mL per month.

00:51It's really lacking.

00:52When we were in the hospital before, they only paid 10% to 20% of the bill.

00:59Because PhilHealth's answer is small, many patients are in need of help.

01:04Marian has been receiving guarantee letters from the offices of congressmen, party lists or senators every day.

01:11Every time we ask for help, I feel like we are being ignored.

01:16To be honest, Dr. Tony Liatchon said,

01:18you don't need to ignore patients just to get the medicine.

01:22If the Universal Health Care Law is implemented properly,

01:25the patient's consultation should only be with the billing department of the hospital.

01:28But that is if PhilHealth increases the case rate and packages.

01:32PhilHealth should do that.

01:34Universal Health Care, if your package is high, you will be able to pay at the hospital.

01:39Hearings are being held in the House and Senate.

01:42PhilHealth has a lot of money.

01:44PhilHealth has P150 billion, P281 billion in reserve funds, and P489 billion in investment funds.

01:53PhilHealth is not a business enterprise.

01:56Use the funds for social health expenditures.

01:59So that they don't rely too much on Maipip.

02:02They don't need to go to PCSO, DOH, DSWD, or Politico.

02:11Because you are the ones who are ensuring that they will receive a sufficient benefit for their health.

02:18Marianne, who helps her mother with her medicine every day,

02:23feels bad when she heard that PhilHealth has a lot of funds.

02:28I hope that when they give real benefits to the PhilHealth members,

02:36they will use all of it.

02:38I will not use all of it just to fill up the deficit.

02:43Because of the excess funds that were not used,

02:45PhilHealth will not receive the P74 billion government subsidy under the 2025 budget.

02:51PhilHealth assures that even without it, their service will continue.

02:55They said that there will be a 50 percent increase in case rates and 12 new packages.

03:01Rest assured, all PhilHealth benefits will continue to be paid and will even improve.

03:06For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Pulido reporting for 24Horas.
