MANILA, Philippines – Palalawakin na ang mga benepisyo at package para sa middle-income contributors ng Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), sinabi ni Department of Health (DOH) Secretary Teodoro Herbosa nitong Sabado, Enero 31.
Ibinahagi ni Herbosa ang kanyang usapan kay Executive Secretary Ralph Recto kung saan ang middle-income contributors ay dapat mabigyan ng mas maayos na health benefits at packages.
“We discussed with Executive Ralph Recto that we can give the direct members better accommodation. Since we have basic accommodation, maybe we can upgrade to two patients in a room with an aircon. We can admit them in rooms with aircon so the direct members can enjoy more benefits,” sinabi ni Herbosa.
“Recto had another suggestion that I approve of, and I will include this (when I talk to) the benefits committee wherein, if the hospital implements zero balance (billing), he wants to add more benefit packages of PhilHealth. That is logical,” dagdag pa nito. RNT/JGC
