00:00Along with the increase in dengue cases, PhilHealth reminded us that there are benefits for this.
00:06If the state insurer grows, the higher package rate will be effective last year.
00:12Ephraim Gaitos of Radyo Pilipinas has news for the country.
00:18Before the increase in dengue cases, PhilHealth has already increased the benefit package for those who receive it.
00:25In a statement of Radyo Pilipinas, PhilHealth spokesperson Dr. Israel Pargas said
00:30that dengue is included in the top 10 mortality and morbidity cases.
00:35So that is one of the biggest and most claimed and paid by PhilHealth.
00:42It is also included in the top 10 burden of diseases of the Philippines.
00:46That's why we increased and improved our benefit.
00:51In fact, last November, the 50% increase for severe dengue cases was effective.
00:57It means that the previous P16,000 became P47,000.
01:03For dengue fever or mild dengue, the benefit was increased to P19,500 from the previous P10,000.
01:12What about those who have dengue that does not need to be confined and brought to the emergency room?
01:18PhilHealth's answer is
01:19There are dengue patients who were brought to the ER but were not admitted.
01:24They already have benefits that they can get.
01:27But the State Insurer clarified that it depends on the service received by the patient
01:33that will be the benefit under the Outpatient Emergency Care Benefit Package.
01:38The new package rate for dengue is included in the expanded programs and services of PhilHealth
01:45as per the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
