The businessman said his recovery from the severe respiratory ailment at the hospital in Pasig City from late March to early April had cost “between P1.2 million and P1.5 million.” | KatyYam

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.

KatyYam It is the reality that the cost of hospitalization is one big expense becoming sick. Just stay home to avoid getting sick.

KatyYam If I get Covid, I’ll isolate myself, fix my lastwill&testament, and let myself die. tangna, wala akong ganyang pera! Kawawa anak ko at seniorcitizen parents ko para malubog sa utang. What a hellhole ang Pilipinas.

KatyYam Is Inquirer setting up the rational why Philhealth has revised its Covid19 table of coverage? There seems to ba a lot of articles coming from Inquirer about medical costs of saving a person's /patient's life.

KatyYam So that busman's 'lucky' his expenses was covered by Philhealth, bc as of April 15th, COVID19 cases will no longer be covered by Philhealth? Infected ones may now choose to die in their homes than get treatment? stayhomeanddie the new hashtag? RRD_Davao
