The suspension of the PhilHealth circular is a “puny step to the pressing situation threatening the delivery of healthcare services due to unpaid obligations to hospitals,” Senator Grace Poe said on Monday.
“What we’ve been wanting all along is for the state health insurer to declare that it has reimbursed all valid claims of our hospitals,” the chair of the Senate public services committee said.
“We expect PhilHealth to enforce a fast turnaround time in settling its dues and improve operational efficiency in processing claims,” Poe said.
She said any further delay in the payment of its obligations “is untenable amid the raging pandemic that puts a heavy strain on our healthcare system.”
“Papaano makakapagbigay-serbisyo ang mga ospital sa ating mga kababayan kung sila mismo ay naghihingalo na dahil sa utang ng PhilHealth?” Poe said.
