(PhilHealth) is investigating other clinics for fraudulent dialysis treatment claims in the wake of irregularities that have led to an overhaul of the state-owned firm’s management. Janimhe Jalbuna, public affairs head of PhilHealth-Western Visayas, said two dialysis centers had attempted to claim payments for treatments involving patients who were already deceased. The clinics, which were not identified, were said to have charged P2,600 per session.
