00:00Good news for our fellow PhilHealth beneficiaries.

00:03Effective this month of October,

00:08for patients who are receiving hemodialysis.

00:12In addition, the agency will also provide free essential services

00:16to their beneficiaries.

00:18BN Manalo for the Central News.

00:22Just this February,

00:2447-year-old Jocelyn Chato was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5.

00:31She was diagnosed with the disease because of high blood pressure.

00:33At first, I felt nauseous.

00:36I thought I was just acidic.

00:38I felt nauseous.

00:39I felt soft.

00:40Then, I couldn't stand up.

00:43My knees felt soft.

00:45Until then, I couldn't take it anymore.

00:49She has been undergoing hemodialysis for almost 8 months.

00:52She is very happy to hear that PhilHealth has increased

00:57its benefit package for hemodialysis.

01:00Like in the laboratory,

01:02the coverage of PhilHealth is limited.

01:05But now, it has been increased.

01:07Almost everyone is covered by PhilHealth.

01:10But now, you can continue to receive treatment

01:14because it's free.

01:15Jocelyn is just one of the CKD-5 patients

01:19who will benefit from the new adjustment

01:22of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation of PhilHealth

01:25in its benefit package for hemodialysis.

01:28Following the PhilHealth Circular No. 2024-0023

01:33which was effective on October 7,

01:36under the new adjustment,

01:38from P4,000 each session,

01:41it has been increased to P6,350

01:44which can be available in accredited dialysis facilities.

01:48This means that the qualified CKD-5 patients

01:52can now receive P990,600

01:56of financial protection each year

01:58from the previous P624,000.

02:02As part of the free essential services

02:05that patients can benefit from,

02:07there are anti-coagulations medications

02:09and drugs and medicines for anemia,

02:12different laboratory tests,

02:14supplies such as dialysers,

02:16hemodialysis solutions,

02:18and dialysis kit each session.

02:21Administrative fees are also included,

02:23such as the use of dialysis machines,

02:26facility fee,

02:27utilities, and staff time.

02:29I am thankful to PhilHealth

02:31for the great help for us dialysis patients.

02:34It's a great thing and a great help for us.

02:38It's like we have a chance to live long.

02:42That's it.

02:43Okay.

02:44PhilHealth is also coordinating

02:47with nephrologists and participating dialysis centers

02:50to fully implement the No Copayment Arrangement.
