Statement in response to the issue of fraud surrounding the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation

Press Release/June 14, 2019
Secretary Franciso T. Duque III issued a statement in response to the issue of fraud surrounding the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth):
“I am deeply disappointed about the recent events surrounding PhilHealth and WellMed. PhilHealth was founded with the vision of providing Filipinos with universal health coverage because it is our belief, as public health practitioners, that financial status should never hinder any Filipino from receiving quality health service. For the system to be taken advantage of and used corruption is utterly unacceptable. These nefarious activities must end and PhilHealth should strengthen its zero tolerance policy on overpayments.
As the Health Secretary and ex-officio Chairman of PhilHealth, I am warning all health providers and PhilHealth officials in the strongest possible terms: do not cheat the system nor even attempt to do it. Tama na ang hocus pocus. Maraming Pilipinong may sakit ang umaasa sa tulong na ibinigay ng PhilHealth. I will ensure that justice will be served to those who defraud the system.
