PhilHealth and CUMC Join Forces to Bring Advanced Cardiac Care Closer to Home

Good news for residents of Cagayan de Oro (CDO)! The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) – Northern Mindanao and Capitol University Medical Center (CUMC) have officially partnered to expand access to vital cardiac care services. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed on August 14th, marking a significant step towards improving heart health outcomes in the region.

CABG Z Benefit Package Now Available

The most exciting development stemming from this partnership is the availability of PhilHealth’s Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Z Benefit Package at CUMC. This package covers a significant portion of the costs associated with CABG surgery, a critical procedure for patients with severe coronary artery disease. Previously, many residents had to travel long distances to access this life-saving surgery, incurring substantial expenses and delays in treatment.

CUMC Certified as a 'Konsulta' Provider

Beyond the CABG Z Benefit Package, CUMC is now also a certified 'Konsulta' provider. This designation means the hospital meets stringent quality standards and can offer a wide range of primary and specialized healthcare services covered by PhilHealth. Patients can expect comprehensive care, including consultations, diagnostics, and treatments, all within the framework of their PhilHealth membership.

What Does This Mean for CDO Residents?

This partnership represents a major win for the people of Cagayan de Oro and surrounding areas. It translates to:

• Increased Accessibility: Life-saving cardiac surgery and other essential healthcare services are now readily available within the city.
• Reduced Costs: The PhilHealth coverage significantly reduces the financial burden of treatment for eligible patients.
• Improved Quality of Care: CUMC’s certification as a 'Konsulta' provider ensures high-quality healthcare services that meet national standards.
• Peace of Mind: Residents can be confident that they have access to the care they need, when they need it.

Looking Ahead

The collaboration between PhilHealth and CUMC is a testament to the commitment of both organizations to improve the health and well-being of the community. This initiative is expected to have a lasting positive impact on the lives of countless individuals facing heart disease in Cagayan de Oro and beyond. PhilHealth encourages all eligible members to take advantage of these expanded services and prioritize their heart health.
