Officials of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Philhealth) reportedly demand a 10-percent cut from patients’ hospital bills, Special Envoy to China Mon Tulfo has claimed.
In his January 16 column for the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Tulfo said the 10-percent cut is supposedly Philhealth’s “commission” from the hospital.
“An administrator in a private hospital in Metro Manila told me that PhilHealth executives demand 10 percent of the patient’s hospital and medical bills,” Tulfo wrote.
“And they demand the 10-percent advance commission,” he added, quoting a hospital administrator who asked not to be named.
Graft charges were recently filed against former Philhealth president and CEO Ricardo Morales and 13 others before the Office of the Ombudsman alleged irregularities in the advance release of funds to hospitals.
