President Rodrigo Duterte has directed the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) to include RT-PCR test, isolation in accredited units, and hospitalization for mild and critical Covid-19 cases under health insurance coverage.
“Nagbigay ng direktiba ang ating presidente sa Philippine Health Insurance Corp. na kasama sa health insurance coverage ang RT-PCR test, isolation sa accredited community isolation units at hospitalization para sa mild at critical cases ng Covid-19,” Palace Spokesman Harry Roque said in a televised briefing Tuesday.
Roque added that patients admitted in tents outside the hospitals should also be covered by PhilHealth.
“Kaugnay nito, kung ang tents ay kasama sa in-patient care, kailangan covered ito sa kasalukyang in-patient Covid-19 package,” according to him.
The recent surge of hospital admissions for infected patients led several hospitals in the National Capital Region to declare their Covid-19 beds have reached full capacity.
