In a separate statement on Saturday, PhilHealth said that they do not ask for any additional documentation from patients in DOH hospitals when availing zero-balance billing.

“Walang anumang interview na kinakailangan dahil lahat ng Pilipino ay miyembro ng PhilHealth alinsunod sa Universal Health Care Law. Bilang miyembro, lahat ng Pilipino—may kakayanan man o wala na magbayad ng kontribusyon—ay garantisado sa No Balance Billing kung sila ay maa-admit sa basic o ward accommodation,” PhilHealth said.

(There are no interviews needed because all Filipinos are members of PhilHealth in accordance with the Universal Health Care Law. As members, all Filipinos—whether they the capacity or none to pay their contributions—are guaranteed to access the No Balance Billing if they are admitted to the basic ward or accommodation.)

“Makakaasa ang publiko na patuloy na isusulong ng PhilHealth ang mga probisyon ng batas, lalo na ang UHC, upang matiyak ang pantay-pantay na access sa serbisyo pangkalusugan para sa lahat ng Pilipino,” it added.

(The public may look forward to PhilHealth’s continued implementation of the provisions of the law, especially the UHC, to ensure equal access to health services for all Filipinos.) —VBL, GMA Integrated News
