PhilHealth to Increase Benefits in 2024: A Major Win for Filipino Families
PhilHealth to Increase Benefits in 2024: A Major Win for Filipino Families Cong. Wilbert “Manoy” T. Lee’s ongoing advocacy has led to a significant milestone as the Department of Health (DOH) and PhilHealth committed to increasing benefit payments from P140 billion to a projected P250 billion by FY 2025. This increase aims to ease the financial burden of healthcare costs on Filipino families. Lee has been a vocal proponent of increasing PhilHealth benefits, and this boost marks a major achievement. As part of this expanded package, PhilHealth will cover additional services, including: – A 50% across-the-board enhancement in benefits packages starting November 2024;– Coverage for diagnostic tests, such as MRI, PET scans, and CT scans by December 2024.– Pediatrics and adult prescription glasses by November 2024. This initiative ensures that Filipinos can access critical health services without the fear of financial ruin. Lee remarked, “Hindi natatapos sa paglagda ng commitment na ito ang ating laban. Ang pinakamahalaga po dito ay ang epektibong implementasyon.” Lee’s close monitoring of this plan guarantees its successful implementation, as he vows to hold both the DOH and PhilHealth accountable to their promises. #PhilHealthUpdates #HealthcareBenefits #WilbertLeeForFilipinos #IncreasedHealthCoverage #MedicalAidForAll Healthcare Policy Previous PostNext Post Latest Posts 08 Nov 2024 Cong.
