00:00Even if it's not confined, PhilHealth will also answer the expenses of the patient who was brought to the emergency room.
00:07And just in time, the number of cases of dengue is increasing,
00:10the increase of the PhilHealth Benefit Package for RIA.
00:14Mark Salazar was in touch.
00:19Marilyn Xiongco's grandson was a victim of a hit and run,
00:22so he was rushed to the hospital.
00:24It's a good thing that in the CT scan and X-ray, the child is not damaged.
00:30Their bill also reached Php 8,300, even if the child is an outpatient and not confined.
00:36In the new facility-based emergency package of PhilHealth,
00:40even if you are not confined, you will get benefits from PhilHealth.
00:44On February 14, the so-called new package for emergency care packages started.
00:53This is if a patient or a member of PhilHealth was brought to an emergency room,
01:00received medication, but they were not confined.
01:06They just stayed in the emergency room for three or four hours, then they were sent home again.
01:13So if you are a dengue suspect and were brought to the ER,
01:16you will also receive a new benefit, not just for confinement.
01:22That's right, because many are worried about the rise in dengue cases in Metro Manila.
01:27In the check-up, it's already expensive.
01:29You should consult either with a consulta provider or you can go to the ER
01:34and you will receive a benefit from PhilHealth.
01:37Or if you need to be confined, you will still receive a benefit from PhilHealth.
01:44PhilHealth also increased their benefit package for dengue.
01:48Our coverage for dengue mild or dengue fever is from P10,000 to P19,500.
01:58For dengue severe or dengue hemorrhagic fever,
02:03our coverage is from P16,000 to P47,000.
02:10This benefit will be received by every Filipino member of PhilHealth
02:16in our accredited public and even private facilities.
02:22Melchor's 17-year-old son has a stone in his gallbladder.
02:26If he is removed, he will not be able to operate on his son.
02:29From what I heard, in other beds,
02:35for example, it's only five days, it's 60-plus.
02:40How many days have you been here?
02:41It's been 13 days.
02:44But before we were admitted,
02:52we filed a case with PhilHealth and Malasakit.
02:56That's what they said, we will not be removed.
02:58We will just stay in the available...
03:02Maria's case is the most difficult because they don't have a job to get married.
03:06Their four-year-old son even had leukemia.
03:10We don't have money.
03:12We are just asking for help with blood and platelets.
03:19How much?
03:20Blood is P1,500.
03:22Platelets are P1,000.
03:24Just that?
03:25Yes.
03:26My son always needs it.
03:28It's good that she is an indigent member of PhilHealth.
03:31She is a member even though she is not a member of PhilHealth.
03:34I went to the social service.
03:38I was approved to cover PhilHealth for my son.
03:43Yes, because my son is also an indigent member of PhilHealth.
03:47Maria's son is covered by the Z-package of PhilHealth,
03:50which is for malignant diseases such as cancer.
03:53This is a comprehensive medicine from diagnostics to chemotherapy.
04:04That is why our coverage is large.
04:07Now, the way we will pay for this is by tranches.
04:12In order to make sure that the patient continues to receive treatment
04:18and continues to receive treatment from our providers.
04:22So out of the P500,000,
04:26the first tranche of our payment is P300,000.
04:33The second tranche of our payment is P125,000.
04:39And the P75,000 to complete the P500,000.
04:44In the coming days, PhilHealth will also include the pre-hospital emergency benefit
04:50or the free and follow-up of the ambulance to the patient.
04:54For GMA Integrated News, Mark Salazar, for 24 Hours.
