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.

PhilHealth Benefits to Increase by 50%, Expanded Coverage for Cancer and Heart Disease Treatments
PhilHealth Benefits to Increase by 50%, Expanded Coverage for Cancer and Heart Disease Treatments Cong. Wilbert “Manoy” T. Lee has announced a major win for the Filipino healthcare system: a 50% increase in PhilHealth benefits, set to take effect by November 2024. This comes after a series of budget deliberations rooted from his strong advocacy in reducing out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Lee pushed for this reform to help millions of Filipinos who struggle with medical costs. The health benefits increases include coverage for critical diagnostic tests like PET scan, CT scan, and MRI to be implemented by the end of December 2024. These services will now be a part of outpatient healthcare coverage under PhilHealth, easing the financial strain on families. “Hindi po ito laban na pansarili lang. Laban ito ng milyong-milyong Pilipinong laging may pangamba na magkasakit sa takot na malubog lalo sa utang at kahirapan dahil walang pambili ng gamot o pambayad sa ospital,” Lee said, emphasizing the importance of this health reform for the nation. Lee likewise pushed for the commitment to cover 80% of costs of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and procedures for heart diseases and prescription glasses for adults and children by November 2024. #PhilHealthBenefitsIncrease #WilbertLee #HealthcareAdvocate #CancerTreatmentCoverage #OutpatientServices #UniversalHealthcare Healthcare Policy Healthcare Access and Equity Previous PostNext Post Latest Posts 07 Nov 2024 Lee Blasts DOH For Failure To Submit Comprehensive Plan To Lower Out-Of-Pocket Medical Costs 06 Nov 2024 Cong.
