How to File a Claim for Philhealth Reimbursement or Refund

Update as of May 28, 2014:

You can NO longer file your claim for refund or reimbursement from Philhealth.

NO MORE DIRECT FILING WITH PHILHEALTH!

Submit your Philhealth documents to the hospital.  Submit documents on the day of admission so you will have time to remedy your papers if incomplete or not valid.

It is the hospital that will file your claim with Philhealth.  Your Philhealth coverage should be deducted from your hospital bill.

Make sure your Philhealth coverage has been deducted from your hospital bill before discharge.

If the hospital asks you to sign a waiver, read the waiver.  Do not sign any waiver that you do not understand.

Only members hospitalized abroad can file their claim directly with Philhealth.

 

Documents to submit to the hospital:

1.  Philhealth Claim Form 1  (original copy, filled-up and signed by you, and your employer if you’re employed)

2.  Updated and clear copy of Member Data Record (MDR) (Get this from Philhealth)

. If patient is a dependent, patient’s name should be written in the MDR as dependent.

If dependent’s name is not in the MDR, submit proof of dependency (birth certificate or         marriage certificate).  Some hospitals require you to update your MDR so that the          dependent’s name is in the MDR.

3.  Official Receipt of Philhealth premium payments (receipt showing payment for the required number of months)

. If employed, submit a Certificate of Premium Payments with OR numbers.

4.  Some hospitals require a Copy of Philhealth ID, or Philhealth card, or valid ID

5.  Authorization letter from Philhealth member, plus a copy of his or her ID, if not present to sign the Philhealth Claim Form 1

 

NOTES: 

After months of processing, you will receive a mailed or courier-delivered Benefit Payment Notice (BPN) from Philhealth. Philhealth will mail the benefit notice to the address you wrote in your claim form.

  1. Hi Ask ko lang i was hospitalize last Jan 2013, nareceive ko na ang BPN ko yesterday pero nagulat ako sa laki ng payment made sa Hospital at sa DR.. kaso ang nakalagay sa note ng BPN actual charges not accomplished, so meaning wala ako refund or check in return, pero nkkapagtaka lang po is almost 5k lang ang nakaless sa billing ko at the time of discharge at nkalagay sa BPN ko 11k ang total amount paid nila.. pls help pano ko po makuha ang right amount para sakin..

    Reply
    • Hi Jeng, is this D&C or raspa? 11k for raspa is further allocated as 6,600 for the hospital and 4400 for the doctor. Go to the hospital with your BPN and hospital bill payment receipt (xerox them so you have copies) and ask for refund of the rest of the amount that you paid.

      Reply
        • Hi ahby, oo, kung ang reason ay nagkamali ang billing sa computation. Pero kung hindi mo nasabi agad na meron kang Philhealth sa admission o hindi mo nasabi ang Philhealth number mo o nabigay ang Philhealth requirement nila bago computation ng cashier, usually ayaw na ng hospital ang refund. Sasabihan ka nila na bakit hindi ka nagsabi bago ka nagbayad?

  2. good day!

    nakuha ko ung benefit payment notice at nakalagay dun eh P38 thousand pero nung makuha namin ung tseke sa ospital eh P14 thou na lang.

    Reply
    • Hi ice, is this CVA 2? 22,800 is for hospital costs and 15,200 for the doctors. If you paid the hospital more than 14k, xerox your bpn and hospital bill receipt and ask the hospital for a refund of the amount you paid.

  3. Hello, I just wanna ask regarding my case. I was admitted due to bleeding (blighted ovum) It somehow called miscarriage, but theres no baby, only sac.. Here’s the thing, I was admitted for D/C, but because i stopped bleeding theres no operation was done. Still I stayed 2nights in the hospital and continue my oral medication so that the remaining tissue will go out on its own like a mentruation. Just when we completed the requirements and we pass it the to the philhealth hospital for the reimbursement, they ask for OR (operation record) which i do not have cz no operation was made, then my OB wrote in the CF2 in the ‘Final Diagnosis’ – Incomplete Abortion. So then the staff in the hospital told me they cannot process the paper because of the final diagnosis. I am still in the care of my private doctor,in her clinic not in the hospital i was admitted. So my question is,they cannot reimburse our hospitla bill because of what my doctor wrote in the final diagnosis.,is it really relevant? or is there anything we can do?

    Reply
    • Hi Ayee, yes, the final diagnosis is important because they’re going to write a Code for your illness/treatment. No code, no Philhealth coverage. Is your doctor’s private clinic Philhealth-accredited? Because you can file your Philhealth claim as a patient there, as a transfer case. But if not, you can ask your doctor what she can write on the final diagnosis so you can claim your Philhealth. How about Abortion? But I have doubts because the treatment was not completed there. But you can ask your doctor.

  4. hi! i have a question with regards to reimbursement of medicine costs.. my father is the member of philhealth and his beneficiary is his father. but some of the receipts have their name mispelled like my father’s surname starts with a B, but with some of the receipts, it started with V. would it cause a problem with filing the reimbursement? what actions should be done? do they need to ask for new receipts with correct spelling of their names? thanks a lot in advance.

    Reply
    • Hi marvi, were these medicines bought while your grandpa was in the hospital and were used during hospitalization? It should have been your grandpa’s name that was written in the receipts because he’s the one using the medicines. Wasn’t his name written on the prescription slips? If you can, have the receipts corrected or changed. But ask the hospital also about their policy.

  6. Hi, my Dad has twice a week dialysis at St. Paul’s Hospital in Tacloban. But prior to that he had his dialysis in Manila (Manila Docs) and we got hte philiealth privileges. Now i am surprised that even if St. Paul’s Hospital is a Philhealth affilliated Hospital, they do not accept the applications and suggest that we just had it reimbursed. Is it there option to sy that to the patients especially that dialysisi is very expensive. Not all, if not almost all patients cannot afford any dialysis treatment and they are making it hard for the people by not accepting any applications and wait for reimbursement instead. Is there a number I can call to ask about this? Thank you and the blogs have been very helpful.

  7. Good day. I gave birth last April 16, 2013, c-section. My HMO, covered the 80% of the total bill and I will pay the 20% thru salary deduction. My question is, can I ask a claim for this case? The receipts will be given to our HMO who paid in advance the whole amount. Also, the last contribution I paid is last October 2012 (I got employed with an international company which staff pay they contribution individually. Thank you for your help.

    Reply
    • Hi Arlyn, I’m puzzled why you did not submit your Philhealth documents so that the 19k coverage was deducted immediately from the bill. Did your current emnployer pay your Philhealth contributions for at least 3 of the 6-month period from Oct 2012 to Mar 2013? Are your doctors and hospital Philhealth accredited? If yes to both questions, then you can file your maternity claim with Philhealth.

      Reply
    • Hi Arlyn, do you mean your current employer has not paid your Philhealth? Are you newly hired by this employer? If so, you need to file as a dependent of your husband. If Philhealth asks, you need to be able to explain why you should be a dependent when you are currently employed? Philhealth’s rule is that one cannot be a dependent and at the same time an active member.

      Reply
      • Yes, I was hired last October 2012. International company kc ito new employer ko like an embassy kaya we pay our own sss, philhealth and pagibig. It will be my husband na po ang mag file? Last question po, if my HMO paid for my hospital bill (I have a share sa bill which will be deducted in my salary), what is the process for that? On my own processing po ba ito or the hospital can help me even I am already discharged? Thank you very much 😀

        Reply
        • Hi Arlyn, you or your husband can file your claim at Philhealth within 60 days after discharge. Documents are listed above. Request for the accomplished claim forms from the hospital. Since you say you’re an Individual Payor… and if you have not paid 9 of the 12 months BEFORE month of April (requirement for Individual Payor, maternity case), then you will have to use your husband’s Philhealth. Ask your husband to update his Philhealth record so he can register you as his dependent (needed are your marriage certificate, his ID and your letter requesting Philhealth to cancel your membership and to register you as a dependent of your husband). Ask others too; I might have missed some things.

  9. Hi! I have these clarifications of mine, hoping for your answers:
    1. I was confined (undergo D&C) last Jan 28-29, 2013 at a govt. hospital and paid nothing upon discharge. However, we bought medicines outside of the hospital worth ~2k. Until now, I am still waiting for the notice ’cause as per, I need to wait for the notice for me to file for reimbursement (i kept all the receipts). I’m just worried ’cause it’s already beyond 60days. Can I still process for reimbursements for case like this?

    2. Ilang months po ang needed para maka-avail ng benefit? If magpamember this month as Voluntary member, when po pwedeng maka-avail ng benefit?

    Thanks and God Bless!

    Reply
    • Hi Gracia, did you submit Philhealth documents to the hospital? If the hospital said something about waiting for the benefit payment notice (BPN), it means that the hospital has already filed your claim for you, and this means also that you need not worry about the 60-day deadline. After receiving the BPN, you go to the hospital with your receipts and request for refund.
      For voluntary members, they can start using Philhealth after 3 months for ordinary and non-surgery illnesses. For maternity and surgery cases, they can use it after 9 months of payment. God bless too

    Reply
    • Hi Jennifer, yes, at bigger hospitals (level 2 to 4), the maternity benefit is only 5k (3k for hospital and 2k for PF). Your sis must have delivered at a government hospital because, as you said, you bought supplies outside. If the hospital deducts 3k from your hospital bill and 2k from PF, then you can no longer refund your expense for supplies bought outside because the 5k coverage is already used up, or already claimed via deduction.

    • Hi anne, ask the hospital kung isa-submit sa kanila ang receipts para masama sa deduction. Keep copies of these receipts for yourself. Kung hindi naman, kasi depende kung under Case Rate or Fee-for-service ang sakit, wait for the benefit payment notice from Philhealth, and then kapag higher amount ang ibinayad ng Philhealth sa hospital kesa deduction ninyo, you can ask for refund from the hospital. Keep a copy of your notice.

  16. Hi,

    My mother has been admitted last July 4. She is 55 years old;hence, i cannot yet declare her as my dependent (please correct me if i’m wrong). Due to fincial difficulties, i did my best to rush her membership the next day – July 5. I even paid her dues in advance. However, we were informed that Philhealth cannot yet shoulder the corresponding anmount, since she’s just a new member. Is this true? Is there any other way for us to reimburse her expenses throught Philhealth? Please we really need your advise on this. Thank you very much!

    • Hi Hyzl, sad to say, you cannot immediately use Philhealth. If Individual Payor, you can use it only after 3 months (for common illnesses) or after 9 months (for surgery and other complicated diseases). Kapag malaki ang bill, at nasa hospital pa, puede kang lumapit sa PCSO desk office ng hospital.

By the way, they will ask about your mother, who is the primary claimant.

    • Hi dion, sorry, I think kung wala kang payment receipt, wala kang ma-refund. Did you sign a Philhealth claim form? If you did, palagay ko Medicard na ang nag-process ng Philhealth mo, at na-deduct na before discharge, or sila na ang tatanggap ng refund kasi sila ang nagbayad sa hospital. For most HMOs, they require their members to submit Philhealth claim papers, so that they pay only the part not paid by Philhealth. If Medicard also pays that part normally covered by Philhealth, then that’s unique in the industry — kudos to them.

    • Hi Janice, I think you can, since the deadline for filing for refund is within 60 days after discharge (pero ask others too para sure). Mas convenient kapag ma-submit mo na lang everyday, para automatic deduction na, at hindi mo na hahanapin pa yong mga medical personnel na pipirma ng claim forms mo. Ang alam ko puede ang clear copies ng MDR, clear copies of Philhealth premium receipts, and then get many claim form 1 sheets.

Pero kung walang notice pero more than a year na, xerox your receipt and then go to the hospital and ask for your refund. Ang kaso lang is baka sabihin ng hospital na hindi pa na-process ang claim mo kasi wala kang maipakitang notice. But if you have time, you can try.

    • Hi Sheena, yes, dapat bayaran nio na asap, today if possible. Oct 10 ang deadline for those employed? Not sure if you can still pay for 2nd quarter; okay lang kung puedeng magbayad ng penalty.
      If paid ang 3 of the 6 months before surgery, yes, eligible ang boss nio.

  40. Hi, Just want to know if my philhealt is not yet updated or my contribution is not yet showing up on the system on my current employer but my last contribution is on march pa, tapos nahospital yung anak ko then the hospital cannot honor my philhealth kasi last payment ko pa is march or last year pa po. Nagamit ko yung HMO ko pero half lang nagamit kasi dahil sa philhealth ko so binayaran ko ng cash yung kalahati po. Eligible po ba ako sa reimbursement? 1 week plang nakakaraan na nakalabas daughter ko [o.

    • Hi Tomi, sorry, if your last premium payment was March 2013 and your child’s confinement was Sep or Oct, you cannot avail of Philhealth coverage. You should have paid at least 3 of the 6 months immediately before month of confinement.

Then i filed for re evaluation of the previously attached receipt and created a letter attaching it to the form sa philhealth grace park caloocan, after 3 months may check na and it’s only 10k. hinde po ba lahat irere imburse ng philhealth yung meds na binili outside of the hospital? may be you can shed some light on this. or email me directly pogigwapo_09@yahoo.com

  42. Hi, magandang araw po. Last June 21, 2013 nanganak po kasi ang asawa ko via CS in a government hospital. Wala na po kaming binayaran upon discharge sa hospital. Ang binayaran po namin ay iyong PF ng nag-CS at anesthesiologist. Binigay na rin po namin lahat ng requirement para sa Philhealth reimbursement sa mga medicines dahil binili namin ang mga gamot outside the hospital kasi hindi available sa kanila. Dumating po last week ung cheque at 800+ lang po ang amount na na-reimburse namin. Bakit po kaya? Tapos unwell pa po ang baby namin so dalawa po ung submitted naming forms, iisa lang po ang dumating.

    • Hi Denver, did you also receive a benefit payment notice? How much was paid to the hospital? 19k? If so, xerox your notice and your PF receipt and then ask the hospital your additional refund (PF). Did your meds cost more than 800? If so, then ask also for additional refund.

Pwede ko pa rin bang i-reimburse yun mga medicine na ginamit sa ko na binili ko outside with my doctors order kasi wala naman meds yun ospital para sa chemo ko.Ano requirement at how much ang maximum na pwede ma reimburse. I was diagnosed Stage 3A breast cancer.

    Please reply asap. Thanks.

    • Hi Agnes, you can file your claim with Philhealth but you need to get forms and waivers from the hospital and doctor. Chemo is not yet under Case Rate, so I can’t give an estimate. You can also try calling your HMO and ask about refunding the meds you purchased. You can also ask Philhealth about their Case Type Z benefit program for breast cancer patients.

    • Hi bong, within 60 days after discharge ang time to file your claim. Kung nareject at merong re-filing instruction, yong ang puedeng i-extend. Ask Philhealth.

  49. Hi Nors!

    I just want to ask, I have HMO which covered almost half of my hospital bill. I paid the remaining cash. Will the reimbursement be the same exact amount I paid cash? Cause I heard, I will not be able to get the same amount I paid. Thank you!

    Reply
    • Hi Ago, how did your HMO computed its share of the bill if your Philhealth coverage was not considered in the bill? Usually, HMO pays the full balance after the Philhealth coverage is deducted. After you get your benefit payment notice or refund check, and it’s lower than what you have paid in cash, request for refund of the discrepancy from your HMO because the usual rule for HMO is that they pay the portion of the bill that Philhealth does not pay. Of course, refund only from your HMO if you have not yet consumed your maximum HMO benefit limit.

    Reply
    • Hi Mara, check mo uli yong statement of account mo and OR mo. Nadeduct ba agad yong coverage mo na 19k? Or nadeduct ba ang 11400 from hospital expense? If yes, wala ka nang marerefund, kasi nai-apply na yong benefit mo sa billing. Kung hindi nadeduct ang PF na 7600, puedeng tanungin ang OB or hospital, pero usually hindi na nagrerefund ang OB, additional PF na nila yong 7600. If zero Philhealth deduction, then ask for refund. Xerox your billing, BPN, and OR.

Yung tita ko kase lives in marikina. dito pa kme sa qc. Hndi pinayagan ng hospital na gmitin ung philhealth ko khit nag-ask nmn ako sa philhealth kung pwede. Ang daming dahilan, kesyo di pdw nila nattawagan ung philhealth dahil coffee break ganito ganyan. Ang itatanung ko lang po sa case ko ano po ba ang mga requirements? And patulong naman po sa paggawa ng letter of consideration. Hindi ko po kase alam kung pano ggwin dun. Thanks.

    • Hi jackie, it’s easier if your names with Philhealth, your premium receipt and your IDs are the same, so the hospital does not have to ask questions. You can request for a change in name with Philhealth, but you need court declaration of annulment, so it’s difficult. If there’s still time, and if you decide so, register anew with a new Philhealth no. and your maiden name. Or you can use your married name at the hospital, but your baby’s surname will be your maiden surname or the surname of your baby’s father. Ask others too.

If the fixed allotment for the illness is not spent fully by the hospital, you can refund part of your expenses later on. Keep your original ORs. Submit your Philhealth papers during hospitalization/before discharge, and present xerox of your ORs.

    • Hi jazz, the coverage for CS is 19k (11,400 for hospital expenses and 7600 for doctors fees). Maybe hospital expenses amounted to 8386 so you got only 3041. Or some of your receipts were not ORs. Ask your hospital.

    • Hi JR, under the new Case Rate scheme, the coverage for medicines and supplies are included in the fixed coverage for the illness or treatment done during hospitalization. So file your Philhealth documents during confinement/before discharge, and then ask your hospital when you can refund meds you bought outside (so you’ll know their Philhealth procedures and if there’s still allotment for part of the 111k you spent). You can also ask the hospital’s PCSO department to help you with documents to ask assistance from PCSO. It’s not that very difficult asking assistance from PCSO, especially for expensive medications/hospitalizations, and the amount of their assistance is really helpful.

    • Hi lhoidz, ask jose reyes how they process radiotherapy/chemotherapy claims. Coverage for 1 radiotherapy session is 3k (800 for pf; 2200 for hospital) and coverage for 1 chemo admin is 7,280 (1,680 pf; 5,600 hosp). I assume that the process will be that you submit your Philhealth docs, they deduct what they can deduct, and they file with Philhealth (no more direct filing with Philhealth), and then when Philhealth pays the hospital, you refund part of your expenses for meds, if your coverage is not used up for the hospital procedure. will email you the circular.

          Reply
    • Hi rosalie, you can no longer use those past payments. Only when you turn 60 years old and you apply for Lifetime Free ID (must have paid at least 120 premiums). Philhealth is a hospitalization insurance with a social component — if not used during the periods paid for, we thank God we were healthy, and that we helped pay for others who needed to be hospitalized.

  136. Hello. Need clarfication. I have BPN and expected to be reimbursed for med receipts. Paid my other meds for my caesarian. My bill was 14k plus. Is it possible for me to refund for my other expenses?

    Reply
    • Hi Ruthie, how much was deducted from your bill? 11,400 is Philhealth’s coverage for hospital supplies and meds, so if this amount was not fully used by the hospital or if your Philhealth deduction for hospital expenses was lower than 11,400, then you can go to your hospital and ask for refund. Bring your BPN and meds OR (xerox them).

  138. hi. i was admitted last aug.18-24 2014 and i used my HMO card, but my philhealth benefit of 10k was not deducted because i wasn’t able to process it, as it was a Sunday discharge, and the next day was a holiday. The hospital advised that we pay the 10k in cash and then refund later on. I’ve fixed my documents and have submitted them to the hospital. Can I refund my 10k? and when can i get the refund? thanks. hoping for response. Godbless.

    • Hi quennie, follow up with the hospital if they have filed your documents with Philhealth. It’s important that they submit your papers asap, within 60 days. It should have been a deduction, but Philhealth gives a leeway for employees discharged on non-business days. Keep your OR and hospital statement and bill. Xerox them. You can get your refund from the hospital after you receive your benefit payment notice from Philhealth, or you can call the hospital after 1 or 2 months.

    • Hi Quentin, direct filing by patient with Philhealth is no longer allowed. The hospital should have advised you. But if you can get Philhealth documents from the hospital, and if you can prove to Philhealth that there’s no other person who can get your Philhealth docs that day, and that it was impossible for you to leave your wife that day, you can try making an appeal to Philhealth and file your claim. I can’t assure you though that Philhealth will approve your appeal. Ask others too

      • Hi ruby, do you see Philhealth deduction on your bill? If there is, then it’s most likely that your total Philhealth coverage was already deducted. What’s the diagnosis? Ask your HMO if you can refund the 1900 you paid. Usually, HMO pays what Philhealth does not cover, up to your HMO plan limit.

    Reply
    • Hi Maria, that’s the benefit payment (or denial) notice from Philhealth. Usually, health insurers require Philhealth filing so that they pay a lower amount; they pay only the balance after Philhealth deduction. In your case, if the hospital made the deduction from your bill, and your insurer paid only the balance, it’s the hospital’s fault that they filed late.

  169. I just gave birth last nov 18,2014. My OB and I agreed to a package of 68k C-section. I paid a downpayment of 10k to the hospital upon admission. Now, nov 21 sched discharged, i asked for a billing statement from the hospital and they could not provide me one since i have a package with the OB. The OB wanted me to pay the remaining 58k to her secretary without a billing statement. She said she will provide the billing statement the next follow up check up which is nov 28. Her secretary issued me a paper signed by her that says she had received the payment. I had paid the full amount. My OB said philhealth was already deducted from the 68k package but I don’t have a receipt or billing statement to prove that. I have already submitted the required philhealth docs to the hospital. How will i know if I availed of philhealth deduction for the 68k? I am hoping that I can reduce my bill or get refunded/reimburse from philhealth for CS.

    Reply
    • Hi Cel, I think this is a case of misunderstanding between you and your OB. Did your OB tell you that the package was 68k with Philhealth already deducted? Usually, when doctors say package, that’s the amount you’re really going to pay to them. If your OB said that Philhealth was already deducted, then she’s saying that the total bill is 87k, and when 19k is deducted, the balance is 68k. I’m puzzled there’s no bill. Is your OB Philhealth-accredited? You will see later on if they filed your Philhealth papers when you receive a benefit payment notice from Philhealth. I feel that your OB should have been more forthright with you, saying something like “iha, 68k ang package, deducted na yong Philhealth doon.”

  189. Hi, is there a chance I can reimburse what I paid to the hospital. I wasn’t aware of Philhealth when my mom was hospitalized. I paid and didn’t think of my Philhealth because I’m a newbie. I paid cash (3000) (ER 1500/ laboratory 800 / Medicine 200 / dr fee 500). the waiver I signed was for a procedure. What’s the process for refund? thanks

    Reply
    • Hi Brian, sorry I’m not sure if Philhealth considers non-awareness as a valid reason for direct filing with them, as direct filing with Philhealth is no longer allowed. You can file an appeal. Ask the hospital if you can get claim forms from them, including a waiver to all benefits as you already paid them, or if you can still file for Philhealth with them, and ask for refund from them later on.

  191. Hi, my father was admitted, unfortunately we need to transfer him to a different hospital as they lack facilities. was admitted friday. unfortunately, philhealth borongan, the nearest philhealth, was offline over weekend. we decided to transfer my father, and since we didn’t have MDR, we paid for the coverage, can we reimburse that?
    By the way I went to Robinson Mall here in manila as they said philhealth is open, as per website info 7 days a week/weekends, unfortunately it’s also closed.

    Reply
    • Hi chris, was it a transfer? Or was your father discharged by the first hospital and then admitted to the second hospital? If your father will most likely spend more in the second hospital, then it’s okay that he did not use his Philhealth in the first hospital, as there’s a Philhealth rule wherein if a member is hospitalized for the same illness within 90 days, only one confinement is covered. In case of transfers, Philhealth is applied at the receiving hospital.

  194. What’s the correct way to write waiver and statement of account from the hospital? I filed for reimbursement from philhealth for my second appeal but was denied as the waiver and statement of account from the hospital is not correct. wala po akong binayad sa hospital at sa doctor because I have HMO at sila lahat nag shoulder ng bill ko. thanks. need further reply on this matter

    Reply
    • Hi anafe, do you mean you did not spend anything? Do you mean your whole bill was paid for by your HMO? Do you mean you do not have a hospital OR? If you did not spend any money, indeed, you cannot get any refund from Philhealth. It is your HMO that can refund from Philhealth because they have the hospital OR to show to Philhealth. Maybe your HMO has already refunded the 30k or 31k, or if not, maybe they no longer want to refund it.

  202. Hi, my father was confined last Jan 2014 for a total bill of 40000+ and I received a BPN (BENEFIT PAYMENT NOTICE) on Jan 2015. There was a 9800 hospital charges amount appeared in my BPN and it matched with the 9800 deduction of Philhealth from our total bill. Amount of 9800 was divided into 6860 (hospital fees) and 2940 (professional fees). We paid around 18000+ less all the deductions including philhealth, HMO, and senior discount. Would I still get a refund? If yes, Am I going to proceed to the hospital to get the refund or to any nearest Philhealth office? Please advise. Thank you.

    Reply
    • Hi Bing, the Philhealth benefit of 9800 was already deducted from your hospital bill, meaning the benefit was already used by your father, so there is nothing more to refund. The 9800 from Philhealth will go to the hospital to pay for the deduction in Jan 2014. Ask others too

    • Hi Jennifer, yes, your husband gives his ID and authorization letter (to accept any mail from Philhealth and sign in behalf of your husband) to you or your landlady. I hope the landlady is careful with IDs and papers. But some postmen are strict; if this is the case, ask the postman if your husband can go to the post office and claim the registered mail.

If your total bill is 5k, then your Philhealth benefit is already used up. Wait for your benefit payment notice (3 to 5 months or more). Check how much Philhealth paid the hospital. Check your bill, and if there’s a discrepancy, ask your refund.

It was impossible for Philhealth to pay their part since I have to travel back to Manila so my employer could sign the CF1 form. So instead, I paid the whole amount of 3,500. The hospital told me that Philhealth can reimburse my money provided that I submit the CF1 within 5 business days, which I did. The hospital told me to wait for the Philhealth reimbursement. I read in the comments that it takes months? Is that true? I worry that my claim will be forgotten 🙁 Thank you po for your time. 🙂

  211. We were discharged today, and now I understand case rate packages of PHILHEALTH; how they compute benefit over your total bill. My suggestion to the creator of PHILHEALTH claims is that I wish the hosp bill and PF is a total benefit package. The hospital where my child was confined was not transparent about billing and the doctor’s OR. They didn’t show how much doctor’s fee was deducted. Not transparent in the OR. The billing personnel explained that the doctor’s bill is already the net. I wish it’s not so the member can see. Gastritis benefit package 6k. total hosp bill is 5,200. The pf they charged at the counter was only 2k.

    Reply
    • Hi jay, you can write a letter to Philhealth explaining your suggestion. You can also write on their Facebook page. The 6k package is allocated as 1,800 for PF and 4,200 for hospital cost.

I read that the maternity benefit covers post-natal care within 72 hours to 7 days, but the minimum confinement time is 24 hours, you should have qualified. Sorry I don’t know what to advise you. It’s the fault of the birthing home because they’re not updated with Philhealth rules. You can go to Philhealth when you’re able, and ask.

    Reply
    • Hi Ailene, ise-send ng Philhealth yong check sa clinic via postal mail. Meron ka rin dapat ma-receive na benefit payment notice. Kung yong 7500 ay payment lahat for your delivery, dapat marefund mo 6,500 (3900 for hospital; 2600 for PF). Kung sa billing ay 6,500 ay for your delivery at yong 1,000 ay nagamit sa newborn care, marefund mo rin dapat yong 1000, so 7,500 lahat ma-claim mo. Pero depende rin yan sa policy ng clinic. Minsan, yong 2600 for PF, kinukuha nila at ibinibigay nila na dagdag na PF ng midwife or OB. In many hospitals na 5k lang ang coverage, kinukuha rin ng mga OB yong 2k as dagdag nilang PF.

Kung ayaw na ng hospital, request for the required documents like waiver from hospital, statement and bill, medical certificate or hospital document, discharge paper and Philhealth claim forms para you can try filing directly with Philhealth. Ang time frame for filing is within 60 days after discharge.

If your claim was filed by the hospital with Philhealth, Philhealth will give the 16k to the hospital, so you will refund your 16k from the hospital. Xerox your receipts. Merong pre-approval from Philhealth prior to cataract removal para ma-cover ng Philhealth ang removal. BPN will be sent by Philhealth to you via registered postal mail.

    1. Pwede ba ito ma claim sa Philhealth ang employeer?
    2. Ilang months ang validity ni Philhealth para mag file ang employeer ng claim once maupdate and remittances ng employees.
    3. Ano ang mga requirements ng employeer na need to file ng claim?

    Thanks,

    • Hi Elaine, ang filing period is within 60 days after discharge. Ang nagfa-file dapat with Philhealth ay ang hospital. Hindi ko alam kung valid ang reason na delayed payment or remittance sa pag-file for refund from Philhealth. Kasi sa individual payors, kung hindi nakapagbayad sa months na required, hindi maka-avail ng Philhealth at hindi puedeng magbayad then mag-file for refund. Sorry hindi ako sure sa case ng employed .Bayaran nio na lang muna ang delayed payments nio sa Philhealth and then magtanong na lang doon. Ang mga documents na required ay yong hospital bill, hospital receipt, plus hospital records (depending on the illness), MDR of the employee, applicable Philhealth premium receipt or employee certification, hospital waiver and Philhealth claim forms.

  235. Good Day,

    Ask ko lang po kung magkano ang possible deduction sa billing namin. Yung baby ko po kasi naadmit yesterday ang sabi ng doctor is pneumonia daw po. Pero ginagawa pa ang test. Upon reading the claim system of Philhealth, 15k daw po. Paano kung hindi talaga pneumonia ang findings? Can we claim the 15k?

    • Hi Shielo, para merong 15k deduction, dapat pneumonia ang diagnosis at dapat magamot ng hospital yong pneumonia. Kung ibang sakit, ibang coverage. Dapat merong diagnosis at merong treatment. Kung diagnosis lang at sa bahay ang gamutan, walang Philhealth coverage.

    • Hi cristy, sorry hindi nagre-reimburse ang Philhealth ng medicine expenses. Ang sinasagot lang nila is yong na-confine at na-treat ng at least 24 hours. Diagnosis nga like x-ray or CT scan ay hindi sinasagot. Pero merong program ang health centers for anti-high blood medicines like Losartan, etc. Merong allotment for each registered barangay member na diagnosed with high-blood

  237. hi i just want to ask if we can still submit the reciepts of the medicines that we purchased outside the hospital?my aunt was hospitalised for 15 days and we had purchased some medicines outside because they dont have it inside the hospital.

    • Hi maricris, tingnan mo yong Philhealth deduction sa bill. Kung ang deduction ay equal na sa Philhealth coverage for your aunt’s sickness or treatment, wala nang marefund pa. You can ask the hospital or check list of Philhealth coverages.

    • Hi Alex, depende sa accident at kung ano ang injury at ano ang ginawang treatment. At kelangang confined ang patient for at least 24 hours. Kung treatment of wounds or injury, kahit tinahi, pero as outpatient, then uuwi din agad ang pasyente, hindi covered. Siguro later on this year or next year kung ma-approve yong bagong proposal nila sa Congress, maco-cover na ang outpatient treatment.

  238. Hi po, na confined po asawa ku for four days. 9k lng po nabawas sa philhealt. 21k po lahat ang binayaran ko. Ma reinburse ba namin ang 11k? At kung pwedi anu po ang requirements. Salamat po.

    • Hi rommel, ano ba yong naging sakit ng asawa mo? Kasi malamang 9k lang ang Philhealth coverage sa sakit ng asawa mo. Bihira lang yong partial na Philhealth deduction.

  239. Pwede ko po ba iclaim ung mga naibili naming gamot outside hospital,nadischarge na po ung patient a week ago.is it possible na mairefund ng philhealth ung mga gastos nmin sa gamot.

  240. Ask ko lang po if required ba talaga na 24 hours confinement bago ka makareimburse sa Philhalth? Hindi po kase naifile agad ang claim kase inabutan ng weekend. Malaking bagay po sana yung Philhealth para mabawas sa bill sa hospital. Thank you po.
