00:00 Good news. Starting next year, PhilHealth will expand its coverage and benefit packages for its members.
00:07 This was surprised by Mark Fetalco.
00:09 PhilHealth was promised by the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation to its members
00:17 and the plan to increase their benefit packages will continue in 2024.
00:22 According to Ray Baleña, acting vice president of PhilHealth Corporate Affairs Group,
00:26 this will be done even if the hike in member contribution will not be fulfilled.
00:30 The increase in our benefits in PhilHealth, we can say that it is not dependent on the scheduled contribution rate.
00:41 It is scheduled for 2024. They should not worry because if the implementation of the scheduled contribution rate for 2024 is continuous,
00:52 the increase in our benefits will continue.
00:58 Baleña added that one of the reasons for the expansion of PhilHealth's coverage is due to the inflation,
01:03 which has a greater impact on the medical expenses of our fellow countrymen.
01:08 What we want here is for our fellow countrymen to feel their benefits and to lower the out-of-pocket or the additional
01:18 or balancing that our members are paying if we cannot totally eradicate our out-of-pocket.
01:28 The reason for the increase in benefit packages in 2024 is aside from the benefit expansion approved by the board this year.
01:37 This is a whole, if not all, of the compensable medical conditions and surgical procedures.
01:43 More than 8,000 medical conditions and surgeries in all will be reviewed by PhilHealth and it will be subject to increase from 10 to 30 percent.
01:56 PhilHealth will ensure that their financial standing is strong and strong enough to fund the extensive expansion of benefit packages.
