Other outpatient surgeries are also covered, such as cyst removal, but they are covered under the Fee-for-Service payment scheme. Philhealth pays a portion of the medicines, lab, OR and PF.

For TB-DOTS:

If you need Philhealth coverage for a quick surgery, you should talk with your surgeon about Philhealth coverage before scheduling the surgery because there are some busy surgeons who do not have time filling up Philhealth claim forms, specially for quick low-cost surgeries.
