PhilHealth task force formed vs fraud
MANILA, Philippines - To combat fraud, the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) has established an Anti-Fraud Task Force to head efforts against those who cheat the agency.
The high-level task force would work to prevent the “occurrence and recurrence of activities to defraud the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP),” PhilHealth said.
Joan Lareza, PhilHealth board member and task force head, said the body will “review, improve or create processes, systems and policies to prevent fraudulent activities from recurring.”
It would also assess the composition and current functions of the Fact-Finding Investigation and Enforcement Department (FFIED) and identify areas prone to fraudulent activities.
In the past, PhilHealth investigated some health facilities for padded claims for cataract surgeries.
