PhilHealth gave Davao Region P566,793 per COVID19 patient, former lawmaker says
MANILA - A former party-list lawmaker on Friday called on Health Sec. Francisco Duque III and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation President Ricardo Morales to explain the allegedly irregular allocation of millions of pesos to some hospitals amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"NCR's total COVID cases stands at 76,870, and the amount of PhilHealth COVID funding it received for COVID cases is P4.35 billion. Per capita, NCR received PhilHealth funding of P56,589 per COVID patient," Ridon emphasized. To date, Metro Manila has logged 79,374 COVID-19 cases since the coronavirus outbreak in the Philippines, while Davao Region only has 1,619 total infections.
Officials of DOH and PhilHealth earlier said that IRM funds for hospitals are based on past figures, amid allegations of corruption in the state insurance firm.
