PhilHealth 'needs overhaul' after COA flags P14.97-B advance to hospitals in 2020: solon

MANILA — A lawmaker on Monday raised the alarm on the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation after the Commission on Audit bared that the state health insurer released P14.97 billion to hospitals last year under the Interim Reimbursement Mechanism supposedly without legal basis.

Quimbo, citing COA's report, said PhilHealth also released IRM funds worth P10.65 billion to 488 hospitals, past above the state health insurer's own rules and regulations. "PhilHealth’s financial mismanagement blatantly disregards the law. It is an injustice to PhilHealth members who regularly make premium contributions and patients who do not receive PhilHealth payments they need for their urgent health services," she said.
