00:00Some patients are now in trouble with the hospital's bailiff who is also a victim of the Omonoy scam.

00:05For now, there are two cases being investigated by the PNP that they believe have a lot of staff in the hospital

00:12that's why it's easy to get details of the victim.

00:16Maki Pulido is in the news.

00:21In an attempt to get a reduction in the hospital's bills,

00:24a 37-year-old woman believed in an Omonoy scam

00:28when her doctor introduced her to a staff down.

00:31According to the victim, they were told that they can get a discount on the professional fee

00:36if they deposit the amount in the given account number.

00:39They know the doctor very well,

00:42so we believe that we can get a discount.

00:47The victim paid the last 100,000 pesos to the suspect.

00:52This is also the case of Modus.

00:54When Ken was given 70,000 pesos, it was not his real name.

00:58He was also believed in because the account number was his doctor's name.

01:01He was also believed in by a suspect who talked to his doctor's secretary

01:06to say that there will be payment terms for other hospital bills, but nothing came.

01:11We realized that we got scammed.

01:14When we went to the nurse station, we called the billing department.

01:18They told us that they don't have such a person.

01:22They also don't have a manager's office because all transactions need to be done through billing.

01:29According to the Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines or PHAPI,

01:33this type of victimization of patients in hospitals has been a problem for a long time.

01:38It's true that this is happening.

01:39For example, if you enter a room,

01:42they will tell you that they will take your payment and they will take care of it.

01:51It's a lack of details, but the PNP said that they are investigating 11 cases so far.

01:57The PNP suspects that the hospital staff has connections

02:00because the scammers know the personal details of the patients and their relatives.

02:05How come they were able to get the numbers of the victims' relatives?

02:11They don't just give it to us.

02:13We know that criminals would always find ways.

02:16Maybe sometimes it's like that, but usually,

02:19all the staff of the hospital are usually screened.

02:30PHAPI admitted that there are a lot of people who enter the hospital.

02:34It's a big threat to the security.

02:37But they remind us that the hospital should only pay for any service.

02:42They should only entertain, especially the payment,

02:47for the hospital's rent.

02:51And then we usually do not send the people for the payment.

02:57PHAPI also urged hospitals to install CCTVs,

03:01not just to record, but to monitor the events inside the hospital.

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