List Guide note: Somone wrote some where else. . ..
I am running myself ragged. My GF's mom (74 yrs old) is constanly in
need of medical care. We send $100 a month for her meds. I recently
found out that her Philhealth plan only pays 20% of her costs. Every
so often another "emergency" rears it's ugly head and we get a call
for more money. I'm wondering if we can pay for the best "Philhealth"
plan available and thereby cut the out of pocket expenses.
Currently the cheapest plan is 100 pesos a month. IF possible, I'd
rather pay 500 pesos a month and have her *co-pay* go from 80% to 20%.
Sure makes sense to pay 500 pesos on a premium and send her 4500
pesos for the meds and other out of pocket expenses.
I've gone to the Philhealth website and looked at the various plans
that are offered. I found a good plan but I can't find a premium cost
associated with the plan. I have been on the phone for the last 7
hours (8 am to 3 pm PI time & calling from Hawaii) trying to contact
someone there. That's where the fustration sets in. The lines are
almost always busy. On the three times I got through I received a
recorded message. On two occasions I pressed two for enrollment and
once I hit zero for the operator. The extension rings, no one picks
up and it disconnects. (How do the locals deal with this?Huh)
So here's is my query for the enlighten ones: Can I buy and
"upgraded" *Philhealth* plan for mama and how much? Also, does
anyone know a "magic" number (I'm calling 673-9999 & 673-3754)that I
can call to get to a real live person at Philhealth to answer my
question?
