PhilHealth says funds enough to pay for hospitals claims

PhilHealth says funds enough to pay for hospitals’ claims By TED CORDERO, GMA News Published May 21, 2021 10:40am The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) on Friday assured the public it has enough funds to cover the unpaid claims it owes to hospitals amid complaints that the state health insurer’s obligations are mounting to billions of pesos. “PhilHealth reiterates its commitment to pay its obligations to its partner hospitals,” the agency said in a statement. “It has sufficient funds to fulfill its obligations,” it said. At a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Philippine Hospital Association president Dr. Jaime Almora said private and public hospitals were forced to use their savings and borrow from banks to sustain their operations due to PhilHealth s alleged failure to pay the claims for COVID-19 cases since March 2020.
