KONSULTA. Members of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation are encouraged to register for the Konsulta Program. This 2023, the state health insurance is eyeing to register around 4 million members, Janimhe Jalbuna, chief of the PhilHealth public affairs office, said on Thursday .MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Audit has flagged the Philippine Health Insurance Corp.
“This suggests that the Fund was being utilized for the regular operations of the Corporation, which is explicitly prohibited by Section 4 of Presidential Decree No. 1445 and punishable by law,” the COA said. The COA said the number of uncompensated individuals could be higher as statistics from the Department of Health showed that there were already a total of 179,046,746 doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered across all regions as of March 19, 2023.
The COA said the underutilization of the fund “is particularly concerning given that two years have already passed since the commencement of the COVID-19 National Vaccination Program.”Experience super-sized fun at SM’s 65th anniversary this OctoberReady to own a Kumon franchise?
