Pinatupad ng PhilHealth ang pagtataas sa Case Rates noong Pebrero 14, 2024, kasabay ng ika-29 anibersaryo nito. Bilang suporta sa mga mamamayang apektado ng pagtaas ng mga presyo dahil sa inflation, minarapat ng ahensyang i-adjust ang halaga ng mga benefit packages nito matapos ang isang dekada. Ang mga ito ay magagamit sa lahat ng PhilHealth-accredited facilities sa bansa – mula sa Levels 1-3 hospitals hanggang sa mga infirmaries at animal bite package providers.

Magkano na ngayon ang halaga ng Case Rates?

Halimbawa, ang pakete sa emphysema ay dating P11,400. Kapag dinagdagan ng 30% nito o P3,420 ay P14,820 na. Ganoon din sa iba pang inpatient at outpatient cases.

Pero dapat tandaan na hindi na i-a-adjust ang mga benepisyong na-adjust na sa nakalipas na limang taon tulad ng hemodialysis na kamakailan lang ay itinaas sa P4,000 ang coverage kada session mula sa dating P2,600. Pati narin iyong mga pinag-aaralang palakihin at mga bagong benefit package tulad Outpatient Mental Health Benefits Package.

Paalala pa ng PhilHealth, na hindi dapat singilin ng dagdag-bayad ang pasyente kapag siya ay na-confine o ginamot sa public/ward accommodation ng pampubliko o pribadong pasilidad. Ibig sabihin, sagot na ng Case Rates ang kabuuang hospital bill.

Magkakaroon lang ng dagdag bayarin kapag pinili ng pasyenteng ma-confine sa private room at gumamit ng mga serbisyong hindi kailangan para gamutin ang kaniyang karamdaman.

Makaaasa ang lahat ng Filipino na patuloy ang ginagawang pagpapabuti ng inyong PhilHealth sa National Health Insurance Program para masiguro ang kapanatagan ng loob ng lahat kapag humaharap sa gastusing medikal.

Over 2,000 Batanes LGU workers are now SSS members under the KaSSSangga Collect Program

Social Security System (SSS) President and Chief Executive Officer Rolando Ledesma Macasaet (4th from right) lauds Batanes Governor Marilou H. Cayco (4th from left) as the provincial local government becomes the latest KaSSSangga Collect Program implementer during a recent ceremonial signing held at the Batanes Provincial Capitol. Joining them are (from left) SSS Tuguegarao Branch Head Guadalupe D. Castillo, SSS Vice President for Luzon North 2 Division Porfirio M. Balatico, Batanes Provincial Government Human Resources Head Ana Marie A. Rosas, SSS Executive Vice President (EVP) for Branch Operations Sector Voltaire P. Agas, SSS EVP for Corporate Services Sector Elvira Alcantara-Resare, and SSS Senior Vice President for Luzon Operations Group Antonio S. Argabioso.

BATANES — The Social Security System (SSS) said that over 2,000 job order (JO) workers of the Provincial Local Government (PLGU) of Batanes will now have social security protection under the KaSSSangga Collect Program (KCP) after Batanes becomes the newest implementer of the program.

SSS President and Chief Executive Officer Rolando Ledesma Macasaet and Batanes Governor Marilou H. Cayco inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) that allows the provincial government’s JO workers to get social security coverage from SSS under the KCP.

“This only shows SSS is committed to its mandate of expanding social security protection and services to all working Filipinos up to the last mile provinces in the Philippines like Batanes,” Macasaet said.

Macasaet explained that under the KCP, PLGU’s JO workers will be registered as SSS self-employed members. At the same time, PLGU Batanes will serve as the SSS collecting partner, who shall collect the contributions of the JO workers through a salary deduction scheme and remit them to the SSS.

“The timely remittance of monthly premiums will ensure that JO workers are qualified to avail of SSS benefits and loan privileges in times of emergencies,” Macasaet said.

He explained that JO workers, as self-employed members, could avail of SSS benefits like sickness, maternity, disability, retirement, death, and funeral. “They can also avail of loan privileges such as salary and calamity loans.”

In addition to SSS benefits, he added that they are entitled to receive Employees’ Compensation (EC) benefits in case of work-connected sickness, injury, or death.
