The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) is grappling with a significant amount of unsettled disallowances, totaling P7.58 billion as of the end of 2023. These disallowances stem mainly from unauthorized allowances, bonuses, and cash gifts provided to agency officials and employees. The Commission on Audit (COA) has issued notices of disallowance, requiring PhilHealth to return the funds to the state treasury. However, PhilHealth has consistently appealed these rulings, leading to an ongoing dispute.
