PhilHealth has paid a total of P 504.2 million to the Philippine Red Cross as of August 12, 2020 representing 115,500 RT-PCR tests conducted by the agency.
The payments covered more than half of the P910 million limit set by its Board of Directors in May this year. The payables amounting to P714.6 million being referred to by Sen. Dick Gordon were covered by three separate billing statements which PhilHealth received on August 13, 14 and 15, 2020. These will be processed in accordance to the imposed limit subject to additional allocation as may be approved by the Board.
