THE Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) have forged an agreement meant to modernize PhilHealth’s systems, curb fraudulent claims, and ensure that benefits reach all eligible Filipinos.
The accord also covers PhilSys co-location and the launch of the PhilHealth Check Utility (PCU), the parties said in a statement.
“Filipinos deserve a health insurance system that is modern, secure, and reliable. Through our partnership with the PSA, we are strengthening our systems, improving the accuracy of our records, and ensuring that every peso of the health fund supports legitimate claims,” said PhilHealth president and chief executive Dr. Edwin Mercado.
He emphasized that while safeguards were being enhanced, access to benefits remained fully protected.
