The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) has called out the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) to address the backlogs on the release of claims of hospitals.
“There seems to be a mounting request from the hospitals to reimburse immediately specifically those hospitals, the smaller ones that are really dying to continue their operations for their people,” ARTA Director General Jeremiah Belgica relayed this to the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).

The Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) is set to launch the new Go.SmARTApp on April 22, a program that aims to speed up transactions and cut red tape in government.
The ARTA made the announcement following the signing of a memorandum of agreement (MOA) between the agency and Filipino software engineering firm Multisys Technologies Corp. on March 31.
In a statement, ARTA Director-General Jeremiah Belgica underscored the benefit of having a strong public-private partnership to deliver better services to the people, noting that the app is a donation by Multisys to ARTA.
