(NAR) VOL. 21 NO.1/ JANUARY - MARCH 2010

[ PHIC PHILHEALTH CIRCULAR NO. 01, s. 2010, January 22, 2010 ]

REIMBURSEMENT OF NEWBORN SCREENING TEST



PhilHealth Circular No. 29, s. 2009 stated that all newborns delivered in accredited facilities are required to undergo Newborn Screening (NBS) test and the filter collection card number should be written in the Part IV (C) item no. 3 of Claim Form 2 to facilitate payment of claims.

The Newborn Screening Reference Center (NSRC) released a new design of filter card containing a single form sheet with a detachable and adhesive filter card number/ barcode. This detachable filter card number/barcode may be attached by the newborn screening facility in the PhilHealth Claim Form 2 Part IV for the NCP claim instead of writing the filter collection card number. Claims shall be returned to the facility if  they fail to indicate/attach the said number.

This Circular shall take effect for all claims 15 days after the publication in an official gazette and newspaper of general circulation. All other issuances inconsistent herewith are hereby modified and repealed accordingly.

Adopted: 22 Jan. 2010
