Patients confined in tents entitled to COVID-19 packages – PhilHealth – Manila Bulletin

Published April 3, 2021, 3:20 PM The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) on Friday, April 3, has assured that patients admitted in tents of accredited hospitals will be entitled to its coronavirus disease (COVID-19) packages if services given them are considered in-patient care. PhilHealth President Dante Gierran made the statement after reports that patients staying in temporary tents of hospitals were allegedly charged P1,000 per hour while waiting to be admitted to a room. “PhilHealth fully acknowledges the current situation where patients are temporarily placed in tents because hospitals can no longer admit them in regular hospital beds,” Gierran said. “PhilHealth guarantees that COVID-19 patients are entitled to health insurance coverage for RT-PCR tests, isolation in accredited community isolation units, and hospitalization for mild to critical cases of COVID-19,” he added.
