MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer/Asia News Network): The Private Hospitals Association of the Philippines Inc. (PHAPi) is encouraging its members to observe a “PhilHealth holiday” from Jan 1 to 5 next year in support of other hospitals that have announced plans to cut ties with the state health insurer.
PHAPi President Dr. Jose De Grano said the PhilHealth holiday is an act of support for the Far Eastern University-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation (FEU-NRMF) Center which will no longer renew its accreditation with the health insurer, and seven major private hospitals in Iloilo City that plans to cut ties with PhilHealth by January next year due to unpaid claims.
