President Rodrigo Duterte told Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) president and CEO Dante Gierran to exhaust all resources to ensure the health needs of all Filipinos during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“If the pandemic is there, and the beds are intended to be rolled out whether as a sale or… sabi ko kay Gierran, huwag kang magtipid,” Duterte said in a pre-recorded speech Monday evening.
“Hindi ito panahon sa tipid. Ilarga mo lahat ‘yan kailangan ng tao. Maski hindi pa kailangan ilagay mo lang diyan tutal aabot rin ‘yan,” according to him.
The Chief Executive earlier directed PhilHealth to include RT-PCR test, isolation in accredited units, and hospitalization for mild and critical Covid-19 cases under health insurance coverage.
Patients confined in temporary tents should be eligible for PhilHealth benefits, too.
Duterte likewise urged the state insurer to expedite the payment of its obligations to private and government hospitals.
PhilHealth has approved the application of a debit-credit Payment method to facilitate the settlement of accounts payable to health care facilities to ensure continuous delivery of healthcare services during the health crisis.
