De Lima wrote in Resolution No. 461, which was filed on Thursday, that it is imperative for the Senate to determine how the funds were used or spent as well as to address the numerous corruption issues on PhilHealth and also to take its leaders accountable for the alleged misuse of the money.
The Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines , back in October of 2019, revealed that PhilHealth failed to settle its financial obligations to its members and that it notified the Philippine government that these hospitals could cut off its accreditation to the insurance corporation due to the state firm’s failure to pay its financial obligations.
PHAP also warned the government that 300 small private hospitals are in danger of closure because of the influx of non-paying patients and the much delayed payment of reimbursements under the Interim Reimbursement Mechanism assistance to healthcare facilities of PhilHealth. “Due regard must also be given to the plight of hospitals and healthcare professionals who depend on the payment of Philhealth for their livelihood, especially the institutions relied upon by our country to help us through this pandemic,” wrote De Lima.
“Now, more than ever, we need our hospitals open and operating as we continue to fight COVID-19 as a country.”
