In line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive to ensure uninterrupted healthcare services, PhilHealth Acting President and CEO Edwin Mercado announced on March 19, 2025, the removal of the 45-day limit on all state health insurance benefits.
Mercado emphasized that this move aims to expand and improve healthcare access, ensuring that no PhilHealth member is denied medical assistance due to coverage restrictions.
PhilHealth encourages the public to maximize their expanded benefits for better healthcare protection and support.
