Senator Loren Legarda expressed her support for the recent PhilHealth reforms, which include a 50% adjustment in selected case rates. However, she stressed the importance of seeing how these changes are implemented.
Legarda also called for PhilHealth to ensure a strict and transparent execution of the increased benefit packages, which cover several medical services, including kidney transplants.
She emphasized that the success of these reforms can only be measured by the increased confidence of patients undergoing treatment, knowing that they can rely on their insurance.
The senator’s statement comes amid increasing scrutiny of PhilHealth’s management and its ability to deliver on promises.
Legarda’s focus on transparency and accountability highlights the need for PhilHealth to regain public trust, ensuring that the reforms benefit the patients they are designed to help.
