PhilHealth to health care facilities: Be Konsulta certified

TO further boost citizens' access to primary care services, the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) recently renewed its call to all local government units and qualified private health clinics nationwide to be accredited providers of its Konsultasyong Sulit at Tama or the PhilHealth Konsulta package.

The Konsulta package has been expanded to include targeted health risk screening and assessment, initial and follow-up consultations, and selected laboratory tests, drugs and medicines as needed by the patients and as recommended by their primary care physician.
