00:00The scamming incident that the couple tried to get the husband to leave the hospital after a month of confinement has been revealed.
00:07We will talk to the Private Hospital Association of the Philippines President, Dr. Jose Rene Degrano.
00:13Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
00:16Good morning, Ma'am Connie and to all of our viewers.
00:20Yes.
00:21Dr. Degrano, what are the considerations that private hospitals can give
00:26so that the patient won't be able to pay, just like what happened here?
00:32Usually, there are arrangements that are made by our private hospitals.
00:38Of course, we have social workers.
00:41They are the ones who usually walk to the DSWD and to the local government units
00:51and they give what they need so that they can have a guarantee letter from the PCSO,
01:00local government units, congressmen, or MAIB as we call it.
01:06If it's still not enough, they are given what we call a promissory note
01:16and they will walk there to see how they can pay and how much debt they have left.
01:24I see. But after the promissory note, they can leave the hospital?
01:32If there is a promissory note, there should be a collateral.
01:37Ah, there is a collateral.
01:38It can't be just that.
01:39Yes.
01:40What if there is none?
01:41They won't be able to leave the hospital?
01:44Usually, they won't be able to leave the hospital, especially if they are not in charity beds.
01:52I see.
01:53In terms of PhilHealth, how big are the unpaid claims of your members?
02:00Well, they said that it reached P50 plus billion.
02:06But actually, in private, it reached P20 billion for private hospitals.
02:12All right. Thank you very much for your time and for sharing with us here in Balitang Hali, Doc.
02:17Thank you very much, Toni.
02:19That was Private Hospital Association of the Philippines President, Dr. Jose Degrano.
