I still haven't gotten myself a copy of UDD's album.

I am bothered that PGH fails to comply with many of PhilHealth's regulation. The most shocking discovery for me is that residents do not recognize the NBB and new case rates for emergency cases. This is stupid really because many of the cases covered by the new policy are emergency cases like appendectomy and CS. This is unacceptable. Is this a reflection of how ignorant MDs are of health insurance policies in the Philippines? Or a reflection on the inefficiency of the hospital PhilHealth office in ensuring coverage? As a paying member of PhilHealth, I demand full access to my benefits and not selective coverage because of the hospital's fault. And as a member of the health team, I am ashamed that PGH once again fails to serve the people properly.
