Hi I tested positive for covid-19 last April 22, 2021 in my work. From covid-19 Treatment Facility I was transferred to the hospital (April 30 to May 07) due to difficulty in breathing and I was diagnosed as covid-19 pneumonia moderate risk. My hospital bill (402,161 pesos) was paid by Philhealth and my employer thru HMO but I need to pay the excess in the coverage of my HMO with a total amount of 173,072 pesos through salary deduction for three years. I am asking for help or financial assistance to lessen the burden in paying the excess coverage of my HMO. Hope you can help me. Thank you.
