A legislator from the Bicol Region has revealed that some private doctors refused to accept government guarantee letters as payment for their services for several reasons, including avoidance of paying taxes.
GLs were provided under the Department of Health’s Medical Assistance for Indigent Patients program and can be used by patients to pay their hospital bills. “However, minsan may billing po, P100,000 … P200,000 ang professional fee, hindi po ina-accept ng mga doktor ang MAIP. Malaki pong problema yan. While there are funds available, while MAIP funds are available … hindi po ina-accept ng mga doctor ” Villafuerte noted.According to him, these physicians will receive only half of their professional fee since MAIP only covers a maximum of 50 percent of their approved fee.
