PhilHealth pledges to release 60% of unpaid claims next week
PhilHealth President Dante A. Gierran pledged to release funds for 60% of the unpaid claims of private hospitals by the end of next week.
As of Aug. 24, PhilHealth owes private hospitals a total of P21.1 billion with P17 billion already in the pipeline pending documentation completion.
Gierran attributed the delays to miscommunication and ICT issues between PhilHealth and private hospitals, while 20 private sector groups have backed calls for more efficient fund releases due to the adverse impact on hospital cash flows during the pandemic.
