The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) 11 (Davao Region) disbursed PHP928 million in claims to its members from Dec. 27, 2024 to Jan. 31, 2025.

“We committed to partnering with health care providers to address payment delays and streamline reimbursements. In January, we cut average claims processing time to 19 days, ensuring quicker payments and patient access to quality care,” PhilHealth-11 vice president Harvey Carcedo said during the Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas here Wednesday.

He noted that they simplified processes in addition to expanding benefits, including eliminating the single-period confinement policy, offering more flexibility and coverage for members and families.

To recognize solo parents’ unique challenges, the agency extended coverage to them and their dependents, as defined by Republic Act 10165 or the Foster Care Act of 2012.

Foster children, as qualified dependents, are also covered to ensure crucial health care access and alleviate financial burdens on foster families.

Moreover, the “No Co-Payment Policy” for patients in the ward or basic accommodations is actively enforced so members fully benefit from their PhilHealth coverage and financial barriers to care are eliminated.

“These transformative changes establish a stronger foundation for Universal Health Care, emphasizing every Filipino’s right to quality and equitable health care. As President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. affirmed on Jan. 16th: Hindi mababawasan ang serbisyo ng PhilHealth (There will be no cutback in PhilHealth services),” Carcedo said.

He also urged members to contact PhilHealth as their doors are always open to all who want to inquire about the agency’s services. (PNA)
