Anakalusugan partylist Rep. Michael “Mike” Defensor warned yesterday private hospitals against “sabotaging” the Duterte government’s implementation of the Universal Health Care (UHC) program, saying their failure to renew their accreditation with the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) can be considered as a “crime” and should be meted with penalties.

He issued the stern warning after many private hospitals have signified intention not to renew their accreditation with the PhilHealth next year.

The House leader said the move of the private hospitals might be seen as “posturing”, as some of them have yet to receive their reimbursements from PhilHealth. He said as far as the accreditation is concerned, there is no penal clause in Republic Act No. 11223 or UHC Law, which was signed by President Duterte on February 20, 2019.

Many private hospitals might no longer renew their PhilHealth accreditationMany private hospitals might opt not to renew their accreditation with the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), which allows their patients to avail of services which would be paid by the state health insurer. Baka kc d nmm binibigay sa kanila ng tama ang shares 😆 Kawawa naman mga private hospital, abono muna sila bago makapaningil sa Philhealth. While philhealth pays them back 6 mos or later pa. Ganoon ka bagal magbayad ang Philhealth. It seems the private hospitals are the one financing the healthcare benefits of Philhealth members. Maybe that's really the intention of Philhealth officials... Pass the burden to private institutions.
