“My personal concern for joining this forum is not on money. I’d been operating this business for years and let me take this opportunity to thank PhilHealth for the sustainable operation of our Lying-in Facility.

I am not getting any younger anymore and I may have been a devoted servant in assisting mothers in delivering their babies; I think few years from now, I may no longer handle the same safely. That is why, I am asking for the requirements needed to qualify nurses as your MCP provider,” she said.
OIC Head of the Health Care Delivery and Management Division (HCDMD), Dr. Antoniette M. Ladio has acknowledged her statements and narrated all the necessary requirements for the nurse’s accreditation requirement to qualify them as MCP providers.
“This corporation has been true to its commitment of bridging the gap with its partners and sincere in all its intention of providing the best services for its members and we in the management team is happy to note that there is one facility owner who has the same passion of bringing the same intention to our clients,” Ladio said
In response to those who had been complaining about the delayed reimbursement, the OIC for the Office of the Regional Vice President, Engr. Eugenio C. Donatos, II said that there is only one major cause and that is the transitory period of claims processing from manual to electronics.
“We had been telling you since 2016 that we need to adopt what the national government requires us to do in processing transactions with our stakeholders. Several official issuances had been released for everybody’s information that once all of us will adopt the electronic system, we will find everything easy in processing your claims. Right now our personnel are handling both the manual and electronic transaction. That has definitely caused the delay. That is why, effective June this year, we will be requiring all of you to transmit all your documents electronically. We need to adopt the system in order to fast tract everything,” Donatos explained.
All other issues and concerns pertaining to health care delivery, quality assurance benefits, collection, membership, tax, fraud, IT related matters were answered by the panelists coming from HCDMD, Field Operations Division, Management Division, Information Technology Management Section and the Legal Office.
The second day of this forum was solely conducted for the Rural Health Units, maternity care providers, birthing homes and lying-in facility owners while the first day was done for government chiefs of government hospitals and private hospital owners in the Region. (hanah g. naanep, PRO III)
