. Here’s a personal narrative from Narciso Tapia who wrote about his experience in asking for hemodialysis cost assistance from PCSO. I discovered his post while searching online:

Steps in getting PCSO financial assistance for hemodialysis

. An article on inquirer.net says that hemodialysis assistance ranges from 10,000 to 15,000 pesos per application, depending on social status (“the less you have in life, the more we will give. The more you have, the less we give”)

. You can file your request through your representative if you’re unable to go to PCSO. Your representative presents your authorization letter, your ID and his/her ID.

. Go to PCSO very early, so you’ll get within the cut-off number for the day.

.  If the facility has not yet been improved to accommodate more seats, be ready to stand for two hours, three hours or more.
