PhilHealth hit over COVID19 'excuse' for January release of P27-B 'war chest' for hospitals
MANILA - Senators on Tuesday questioned the P27-billion "war chest" the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. made available to hospitals in January, convinced that the COVID-19 pandemic was used as an excuse to justify the release to allegedly favored health care institutions.
"It was not arbitrary," he told senators, saying allocations were based on hospitals' claims in the last 90 days. Sen. Panfilo Lacson questioned the release of P703 million and later, P9.3 billion, before the PhilHealth came out with implementing guidelines.
