Kayo po ba ay miyembro ng Philhealth? Kung kayo po ay miyembro ng Philhealth, puede po ninyong i-extend ang benefits ng philhealth sa inyong mga magulang.

Ang mga senior citizens po na indigent ay may compulsory coverage sa Philhealth. Kung sa Private naman po, mayroon po silang senior citizen discount (basta't sila'y may Senior ID) at dahil nga sa Philhealth member kayo, meron din po silang makukuhand reimbursement para sa cataract.

Kaiingat lang po kayo. Kasi po, dito sa Pilipinas ngayon, may mga doctor po na inembistigahan ang Senado dahil sa nagre-recruit po sila ng mga senior citizen na may catarata, inooperahan po nila na "walang bayad" daw, pero, kinokolekta po nila ang mga benefits ng mga senior citizen mula sa Philhealth. Wala naman sanang problema iyon, kundi, may mga senior citizen na wala namang katarata, sumali, nabulag. Kaya lumabas po na scam lamang pala ang ginagawa ng mga eye clinic na iyon. Ini-iscam nila ang Philhealth. Kumukubra sila ng bayad para sa mga operasyon sa mga taong hindi naman talaga kailangan ang operasyon.

Kaiingat po kayo. Para mas maintindihan ninyo ang coverage ng mga senior citizens sa ilalim ng Philhealth punta po kayo sa website ng Philhealth. At pumunta po ang mga magulang ninyo sa pinaka-malapit na health center or government hospital, para magpa-konsulta o magpa-refer sa isang espesyalista.
