PhilHealth Benefit Payments:
Policy statements released effective 15 September 2015. Among the conditions imposed were the
requirement of at least four (4) days confinement, three (3) days IV before shifting to oral antibiotics.
The policy statements were presented and approved by the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC) of
PhilHealth and eventually embodied in PhilHealth Board Resolution No. 1965.
Based on the latest stats, there has been a decrease in the number of cases paid by PhilHealth. For
HR CAP, 5,014 cases were paid in Oct 2015 and 3,691 in November 2015, down from 6,351 in
August before the effectivity of the circular. For MR CAP, 66,129 cases were paid in October 2015
and 52,288 in November 2015, down from 76,815 in August before the effectivity of the circular.
Note however that the November figures might not be complete yet because providers have 60 days
or until end of January to file the claim and hence, may still be in process.
The Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) in a letter dated Feb. 19, 2016 expressed
solidarity with PhilHealth as it seeks to have a meeting to discuss the current guidelines they are
updating or developing to “see how these can improve the coverage for these diseases”
UTI
2014 - P 1.810 Billion
2015 - P 1.960 Billion
Policy statements on the diagnosis and management released on 08 January 2016. the
prescribed length of stay is 72 hours (3 days). When it was being drafted, the policy
statements were sent to concerned societies for comments. Recent discussions indicate
that the LOS may be reduced to 48 hours.
The guidelines on the diagnosis and management of cataract effective 15 August 2015
prescribed the maximum number of cataract pre-authorisations per surgeon at 10 a day
and 50 a month. Other conditions for quality care were emphasised in the circular like
rules on the bilateral procedures, post operative care and inclusion of IOL stickers in the
claims forms.
Starting 28 July 2015, the amount per session was decreased from P4,000 to P2,600 but
the maximum number of sessions was increased from 45 days to 90 days. The 90 days
is shared by the member and the dependents.
Thailand experience can give us an insight into possible courses of action. First, they
developed a program to address rising incidence of hypertension and diabetes and
secondly, they only admitted patients into HD upon certification of non-compatibility with
PD.
The current circular on HD provides the development of a Patient Registry. Once the
registry is in place, an option would be that new patients can only be admitted once such
certification of non-compatibility with PD can be secured. Supply constrains for solutions
would be a challenge that needs to be addressed.
Stroke
2014 - P 2.630 Billion
2015 - P 2.788 Billion
Hypertensive
2014 - P 1.767 Billion
2015 - P 1.856 Billion
This includes the following: (1) Maternity Care Package (MCP) - P6,500 if delivered in
hospitals, P8,000 if delivered in birthing homes / lying in clinics, (2) Normal Spontaneous
Delivery (NSD) - P5,000 if delivered in hospitals, P6,500 if delivered in birthing homes / lying in
clinics, (3) Antenatal Care Package - P1,500, and (4) Newborn Care Package (NCP) - P1,750
This figure would have to disaggregated to separate actual deliveries from the services
intended for babies. At least one region has raised the alarm of the increasing number of sick
babies which may also drive utilisation of these claims.
Caesarian Deliveries
2014 - P 2.179 Billion
2015 - P 2.314 Biliion
