Lawmakers urge PhilHealth to review, suspend claims payment circular

Lawmakers urged PhilHealth on Tuesday to review and suspend Circular No. 2021-0013, which temporarily suspends hospitals' payment claims under investigation.

Suansing moved for the House Committee on Health to urge PhilHealth to review and possibly suspend the circular without prejudice to any legislative remedy.
