A Call to Reform PhilHealth and Protect Benefits Mandated by Law
July 19, 2024

On behalf of millions of Filipinos whose health-related sufferings we witness daily, we, the undersigned medical societies and healthcare professional organizations, urgently appeal to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., to take immediate and decisive action to prevent the diversion of PhP89.9B of unused funds from the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) to the National Treasury.

1. We denounce the failure of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC) to use its reserve funds as prescribed by the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act. This has led to insufficient patient benefits, unnecessary increases in premiums, and an “inappropriate fund excess” that could have been used for the health care of individuals in need of financial aid.

PhilHealth’s PhP400 billion worth of unspent funds should not be tagged as “excess” funds, because they are a result of PhilHealth’s inefficiency. PhilHealth has underspent because it has failed to sufficiently expand its benefit packages and reduce out-of-pocket spending as mandated by law.

Every day, we see patients deprived of essential healthcare due to the inefficiencies within our social health insurance system. It is incomprehensible how PhilHealth can accumulate such an excess of funds while so many Filipinos suffer without the care they desperately need. The solution to having an excess in PhilHealth’s funds is not to strip Filipinos of healthcare funding but to implement immediate and substantial PhilHealth reforms such as:
- An urgent increase in the scope and coverage of inpatient benefits, outpatient benefits, including benefits for preventive care;
- Provision of premium relief or reduction for those in difficulty.
- The immediate enhancement of benefit development capacity within the corporation, using existing government research and academic institutions in the interim, and forming an independent agency for this if necessary; and
- Easing of the bureaucratic burden for claims processing in order to incentivize the immediate provision of much needed primary care services, especially for the poor.

2. We denounce the Department of Finance’s diversion of P89.9 billion of this “inappropriate excess” for purposes other than service of the patients we care for. Countless Filipinos suffer because of inadequate financial support for health care needs. These “excess funds” were mandated to be used exclusively for their individual care.

We strongly believe that this move by the DOF violates Section 11 of the Universal Healthcare Act (Republic Act 11223) which states that

“The excess of the PhilHealth reserve fund shall be used to increase the Program’s benefits and to decrease the amount of members’ contribution; no portion of the reserve fund or income thereof shall accrue to the general fund of the National Government or to any of its agencies or instrumentalities, including government-owned or -controlled corporations.”

Remitting PhilHealth’s fund to the national budget also violates Republic Act 11346 which earmarks the revenues of excise taxes on to***co products and sugar-sweetened beverages exclusively to PhilHealth for Universal Healthcare.

In addition, the government cannot take back subsidies it used to pay for premiums of disadvantaged populations. Doing so will inadvertently lay the burden of health care entirely on the shoulders of formal payors, many of whom are in need of help themselves.

In view of these, we call on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to:

- Immediately issue a directive to return the entirety of PhilHealth’s P89.9 billion unused fund to PhilHealth, to be used for the individual health care needs of the poor; and
- Decisively and urgently institute measures to assure the immediate enhancement of health benefits, forming an independent agency to do this if necessary.

Ang init na nararamdaman ng katawan ng tao (apparent temperature) ay hindi akmang nasusukat gamit lamang ang temperatura ng hangin (air temperature). Ito ay mas tamang naitataya kung isasama ang datos ng alinsangan o halumigmig (relative humidity).

Ang impormasyon na ito ay tinatawag na Heat Index at ito ay matutukoy gamit ang Heat Index Chart na nasa larawan. Mula Marso hanggang Mayo, ang DOST-PAGASA ay nagbibigay ng Heat Index monitoring and forecast information na makikita online sa sumusunod na URL:

Timely diagnosis saves lives. Take a second look 👀 at your breasts.⁣ If you notice changes to your breasts, such as a lump, pitting of the skin or pain, go and see a health practitioner for a check-up. ⁣
⁣
Most breast lumps are not cancerous. Those that are, can be more effectively treated if identified early.

✅ Check your breasts ⁣
✅ Get screened regularly ⁣
✅ See your doctor ⁣
✅ Get your annual mammogram done
