PhilHealth will pay P930-M debt to Red Cross on Monday, October 26, 2020

In a statement on Friday, the state health insurer said that it received the legal opinion from the Department of Justice (DOJ), which stated that the PhilHealth-PRC memorandum of agreement “is not subject to Procurement Law.”

“Having been in receipt today of the DOJ legal opinion saying that the PhilHealth-PRC MOA is not subject to Procurement Law, PhilHealth will release payment on Monday, Oct. 26, 2020,” PhilHealth said.

PhilHealth has an overdue balance of over P930 million to PRC for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) testing of overseas Filipino workers and other individuals.



The payments would be “subject to completeness of billing requirements submitted by the PRC, and in compliance to COA (Commission on Audit) rules,” PhilHealth added.

“This should enable the PRC to immediately resume its testing of swab specimen of concerned sectors which PhilHealth pays for,” PhilHealth said.
