The Need for PhilHealth Reform

With rising healthcare costs and delayed reimbursements, the PhilHealth system requires urgent reform. Representative Wilbert Lee has proposed amendments to the Universal Health Care (UHC) Act to guarantee better healthcare benefits for Filipinos.

Major Changes Under the PhilHealth Reform Bill

• More Funds for Benefits Instead of Premium Collections – Administrative budgets will now be based on 7.5 percent of reimbursements, ensuring greater funds for operations.
• Lower Member Contributions – Filipinos will contribute less while gaining access to expanded medical benefits.
• Faster Case Rate Assessments – Ensuring timely and fair medical reimbursements for both hospitals and patients.

Immediate Benefits from the PhilHealth Reform Bill

Since advocating for these changes, Lee has secured:

• 30 percent increase in PhilHealth benefits in 2024
• 50 percent additional increase by 2025
• Expanded coverage for dialysis, cancer, and heart disease treatments

The Road to Universal Healthcare Through PhilHealth Reform

Lee continues to push for a healthcare system where medicine and medical treatments are covered by the government, ensuring that no Filipino suffers due to lack of access to proper healthcare.
