PhilHealth payment claims, services questioned before the Supreme Court
PhilHealth admitted that not all monetary claims were settled before it remitted P60 billion to the National Treasury.
PhilHealth Senior Vice President Renato Limsiaco Jr. stated this during oral arguments on petitions challenging the fund transfer.
He explained that the non-settlement of all claims was due to a specific cutoff date, with some claims still pending at hospitals.
Associate Justice Amy Lazaro-Javier questioned Limsiaco on whether all claims had been paid prior to the funds being transferred.
Limsiaco confirmed that some claims remained unpaid at the time of the P60 billion remittance.
The Office of the Solicitor General's comment mentioned that unpaid claims were already recorded and acknowledged before the transfer.
