Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) (MANILA BULLETIN) “PhilHealth is currently looking into new incidents of ‘upcasing’ in relation to COVID claims,” Guevarra said. “With a former NBI (National Bureau of Investigation) chief as President/CEO, PhilHealth can very well handle this new investigation,” he stressed. “But the DOJ/NBI will be ready to provide assistance if requested,” assured Guevarra. PhilHealth is now headed by Dante A. Gierran whose prior government post was NBI director. Last year, Guevarra formed Task Force PhilHealth pursuant to the Aug. 7, 2020 memorandum of President Duterte who directed the DOJ secretary “to organize a panel for the conduct of an investigation on the various allegations of corruption and anomalies in the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), including the audit of the PhilHealth finances and conduct of lifestyle checks of its officials and employees.”
