Poe tells PhilHealth to pay hospitals
Sen. Grace Poe reiterated her call to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) to speed up payment to public and private hospitals and shun unnecessary and delaying procedures that impair the ability of healthcare institutions to carry out their crucial function.
The senator said that PhilHealth must do all to address hospital claims it refuses to pay as well as the so-called return-to-hospital (RTH) claims which threaten the viability of these hospitals.
The Commission on Audit (COA) report on the Philippine Children s Medical Center (PCMC) showed that PhilHealth denied a total of 1,641 claims from the government-run hospital amounting to P22.98 million as of Sept. 30, 2020 while RTH claims amounted to P11.60 million representing 683 claims. RTH claims are sent back to hospitals as PhilHealth deems they still lack certain requirements.
