The DBM and the DOH agreed there was a need to urgently finalize the computation of the HEA claims in arrears to enable the DBM to determine if additional funding requirements were necessary despite the cumulatively released PHEBA allocations for health care and non-health-care workers. The DBM urged the DOH to develop a comprehensive HEA mapping that would capture and present all PHEBA claims and payments by region/health facilities for the period covered by the benefit.Data from the HEA mapping would be used to speed up the final determination of the amount of deficiency to cover the full settlement of arrears.
