Duterte orders arrest of ‘fraudulent’ dialysis center owners, eyes PhilHealth reshuffle

President Rodrigo Duterte upped the ante against a Quezon City dialysis center, ordering the National Bureau of Investigation to arrest its owners.against its erring officials and employees.[So you should arrest them] because right at this moment, the estafa, the malversation of money is continuing,” Duterte said Saturday midnight on the TV program of his close ally, Kingdom of Jesus Christ founder Apollo Quiboloy.

He added that he is still investigating if anyone in the state insurance fund was in cahoots with the dialysis center’s alleged fraudulent schemes. PhilHealth Acting President Roy Ferrer said there may be a “mafia” in the state insurance fund targeting him because of his focus against fraud. PhilHealth said that it is probing 1,251 cases of reported pneumonia cases from 162 providers for potential fraud. It added that it has completed close to 1,500 investigations and is still probing 9,000 more reports of fraudulent activities.

Wonder which friend he is giving to...

RRD_Davao Sap_Bong_Go PRRD remember what you have said...any whiff of corruption! Hence, fire that idiot President of Philhealth now!

It's also time to scrutinise how doctors and hospitals charge PhilHealth seriously. 'Upcasing' is rampant that the government may be losing a significant amount. Moreover, the government must require the doctors to be transparent with how they charge patients.
