Hospitalization & Health Care for Veterans & their Dependents

VETERANS’ Hospitalization, Treatment and Medical Care Benefits

As the primary government agency through which a grateful

nation pays its debt of gratitude to its defenders, the PHILIPPINE

VETERANS AFFAIRS OFFICE (PVAO) under the Department of National

Defense, through the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) is

mandated to provide hospitalization, treatment & medical care benefits

to veterans and their beneficiaries pursuant to Republic Act No. 6948

as amended by Republic Act No. 7696.

Who are eligible to these benefits? Veterans

Veterans’ spouse,

unmarried minor children

children who are mentally or physically incapacitated regardless

of age

dependent parents or foster parents of veterans regardless of the

veteran's civil status.

What services are included in

these benefits? All veterans shall be provided with

hospitalization, medical care and

treatment at the VMMC and in the

veterans wards of government hospi-

tals or such other medical facility

a cc r ed i t ed by PVAO-VMMC .

VMMC is the primary medi-

cal facility for veterans and their

families. It boasts of up-to-date

diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitation equipments to include

among others dialysis machines, CT scan and magnetic resonance

imaging (MRI) .

Patients seeking medical attention can avail of general and

specialty services from its Clinical & Ancillary Departments specializing

in medicine, surgery, pulmonary diseases, ophthalmology,

otorhinolaryngology-HNS, psychiatry, obstetrics & gynecology, pediat-

rics, anesthesiology, family medicine, rehabilitation medicine, pathol-

ogy, nuclear medicine & research, radiology & radiotherapy, and

dental medicine.

Nature of the Hospitalization Benefit

To address the healthcare needs of pensioners who

cannot travel to the VMMC due to their limited mobility &

physical / medical condition particularly those in the provinces,

PVAO/VMMC has accredited 562* government hospitals

throughout the country to extend hospitalization and medical

care and benefits to all veterans and their beneficiaries.

The hospital care and treatment provided to the veteran

and their qualified dependents shall be on an all- inclusive basis

and shall be paid based on actual billing not to exceed EIGHT

HUNDRED PESOS (Php800.00) per day net of the other applica-

ble discounts. Furthermore, PVAO /VMMC shall pay up to a

maximum of 45 days of hospital confinement per patient per

year.

The length of stay of the patient the date of his/her

admission shall be counted as day ONE and the date of dis-

charge shall not be counted as last day.

* Number of Veterans Outreach Hospitals accredited by PVAO-VMMC as of

August 31, 2011 only. The accreditation of more hospitals is on-going.

Giving Our Veterans the Extra Care They Deserve

In addition to the total medical

care veterans and their qualified

dependents may avail at the

VMMC and the in-patient hospi-

talization benefits from PVAO-

VMMC accredited veterans out-

reach nationwide, PVAO has

also entered into a Memorandum

of Agreement (MOA) with Phil-

Health Insurance corporation

(PHIC) in 2009 to assist over

10,760 eligible living WWII veterans in their PhilHealth application and

benefits. PVAO will cover the veteran’s one year premium. To date,

1,027 have been processed and been given their PhilHealth member-

ship ID.

For the road ahead, PVAO is working for the legislation and

appropriation of funds for the establishment of Veterans Hospital in

Visayas and Mindanao.

Meanwhile, PVAO continues its partnership with the Filipino

War Veterans Foundation, Inc. (FILVETS), a non-government organiza-

tion founded by former President Fidel V. Ramos and his fellow veter-

ans in 1989 during his sting as Secretary of National Defense.

For the past decades, FILVETS had been able to reach out to

as many indigent and ailing veterans as possible. It provides these vet-

erans and their families with medical and dental health care assistance

through its outreach programs in various provinces, especially in far-

flung areas without access to a hospital or a veteran's clinic. .

To allow a more permanent form of service to help the veter-

ans in the Visayas and Mindanao regions, FILVETS put up the first

Medical Outreach Clinic in Cagayan de Oro and was inaugurated on

February 8, 2002 as the First Pilot Project. This was followed by other

clinics in the Visayas region.

As of today, FILVETS already operates 11 clinics: 3 in the Min-

danao area and 6 in Visayas. and two in Luzon. Clinis are open twice a

month for consultation. The Veterans are provided with free mainte-

nance drugs, vitamins and other nutritional supplements. ■
