Senator Bong Go said on Monday he had appealed to concerned agencies to “revisit” the PhilHealth circular suspending payment of claims to hospitals being investigated for fraud, and the two parties had a “fruitful dialogue” to resolve the matter.
PhilHealth Circular No. 2021-0013 halts the “payment of claims that are subject of investigations pertaining to fraudulent, unethical acts, and/or abuse of authority.”
According to Go, a dialogue between PhilHealth management, the Department of Health, and hospital associations was conducted Monday morning and had been “fruitful” in attempting a win-win solution that would not hamper or adversely affect services needed by ordinary Filipinos during the Covid-19 pandemic.
“At nabalitaan ko naman po nagkaroon… after my appeal kahapon, nagkaroon sila ng fruitful dialogue kanina, ang PhilHealth management, hospital associations and representatives ng DOH,” said Go in a radio interview.
“Ako naman po, bilang committee on health hairman, interes ko po na magkaroon ng solusyon at hindi makompromiso ang kapakanan at kalusugan, lalung-lalo na po ‘yung mga ordinaryong Pilipino na nakasalalay po sa PhilHealth,” he added.
Earlier, Go reached out to PhilHealth President Dante Gierran, Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea and Secretary Carlito Galvez, Jr. to help resolve some issues raised by hospital associations and protect the stability of the health system.
