State insurer Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) has yet to reimburse more than P500 million worth of claims filed by specialty hospitals due to lack of documents, the Commission on Audit (COA) said Friday.

According to Joseph Morong's "24 Oras" report, data from the 2022 COA Audit Report showed several institutions including the Lung Center of the Philippines , National Kidney and Transplant Institute , Philippine Children's Medical Center , and the Philippine Heart Center have yet to receive their reimbursement claims.

Domingo also said government hospitals should never charge the unpaid claims to patients, adding they have other means for funding. Domingo said the state insurer has enough funds to cover the reimbursement even despite the suspension of the slated increase for PhilHealth premium contributions under the Universal Healthcare Law.
