The Philippine Star|October 01, 2024
The Philippine Health Insurance Corp.(PhilHealth) board has decided to abolish the "single period of confinement" (SPC) rule, a policy that states that admissions and re-admissions due to the same illness within a 90-calendar day period shall be entitled to the benefit only once.

PhilHealth spokesman Israel Pargas said the meeting conducted by the board last Friday resulted in the scrapping of the SPC.

"(The board en banc) approved the lifting of the SPC to align with the provisions of the Universal Health Care law," Pargas said in a Viber message.

The PhilHealth official emphasized that even with the decision, it is important that quality health care to patients is ensured.
