On average, his confinement had cost P70,000 to P80,000 per day, Azurin said.
“We had to put a hefty down payment . My eldest son said not to worry about it, and we’ll take care of the problem of expenses later,” Azurin said.And as fate would have it, he was one of the “fortunate” COVID-19 patients whose total hospital expenses were still shouldered by the state-run Philippine Health Insurance Corp. before it set limits to the amounts it would pay after April 14.
On March 16, Azurin went to TMC’s satellite office in Cainta, Rizal province, where his chest X-ray and blood samples were taken. Azurin said he never had a good night’s sleep at the ER. Within his small space, he endured three to four tubes in his mouth and two more in his nostrils. “I was charged more than P20,000 a day, I think, at the ER and it was just a small space covered by a curtain,” he said.
