Pinalawak ang maternity benefits sa ilalim ng Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), matapos ianunsyo ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Sa panayam ng DZGB News kay PhilHealth Bicol Public Affairs Unit Head Leri Ilagan, isa sa mga pangunahing dahilan ng komplikasyon sa panganganak ay ang kakulangan sa pinansyal na kakayahan ng ilang pamilya, na nagiging dahilan para hindi makakuha ng sapat na prenatal care o manganak nang walang gabay ng doktor.

Kaya sa ilalim ng bagong benepisyo, halos triple na ang itataas ng coverage para sa normal delivery, mula P9,750 ay magiging P29,000, habang aabot naman sa P58,000 hanggang P62,000 ang sasagutin ng PhilHealth para sa cesarean section mula sa dating P37,000.

Pinalawak din ang saklaw ng prenatal care, kung saan doble na ang bilang ng check-ups mula apat ay magiging walo, kabilang na ang mga kinakailangang laboratory tests at bakuna.

Mayroon na ring tatlong follow-up visits matapos manganak na sasagutin ng PhilHealth.

Sa ilang kaso, sinabi ni Ilagan na maaaring wala nang babayaran ang pasyente, lalo na kung sa ward at pampublikong hospital manganganak.

Layunin ng hakbang na mabawasan ang panganib sa kalusugan ng ina at sanggol, at matiyak na hindi hadlang ang kakulangan sa pera sa pag-access sa maayos na serbisyong medikal.

PASIG CITY — PhilHealth’s expanded benefit packages are now delivering tangible results for millions of Filipinos, significantly reducing out-of-pocket health expenses while inspiring stronger participation from the private healthcare sector. Over the past two weeks, 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗼𝘀 𝗝𝗿. and 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗗𝗿. 𝗘𝗱𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗠. 𝗠𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗼 personally witnessed how these reforms are transforming healthcare access in two leading private hospitals.
On May 1, President Marcos and Dr. Mercado visited St. Elizabeth Hospital, Inc., where PhilHealth members were actively benefiting from the agency’s expanded healthcare packages, including YAKAP primary care consultations, cancer treatment services, and life-sustaining dialysis care. The visit showcased how PhilHealth’s strengthened benefits are helping patients access essential treatment earlier while shielding families from the financial burden of illness.
Last May 11, the President visited The Medical City in Ortigas, where he inspected the newly opened Alfredo R.A. Bengzon Patient Access Ward, a 51-bed facility designed to provide world-class healthcare services to PhilHealth members with little to no out-of-pocket expenses.
The facility, which includes nine mother-and-baby-friendly rooms, stands as a powerful example of what can be achieved when private hospitals fully embrace their partnership with PhilHealth in advancing accessible, high-quality healthcare. Patients and their families shared firsthand how expanded PhilHealth coverage protected them from catastrophic medical expenses and allowed them to focus on recovery instead of financial hardship.
“The question is not capability, but will—the will to look at every PhilHealth member and say, ‘You belong here, too.’” said Dr. Mercado. “Decades from now, no one will ask how many private suites a hospital had. They will ask how many lives were saved and changed.”
Building on these successes, PhilHealth is calling on more private hospitals, specialty centers, and clinics nationwide to join this shared mission of making quality healthcare truly accessible to every Filipino. The agency remains ready to support healthcare facilities seeking accreditation across its growing range of benefit packages—including primary care, outpatient emergency services, inpatient care, maternity services, dialysis, cancer care, and treatment of catastrophic illnesses under the Z Benefits Program.
