MANILA, Philippines — The Court of Appeals (CA) affirmed the June 2021 decision of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) withdrawing the accreditation of a dialysis center due to fraudulent claims for dialysis services on behalf of deceased patients. In a decision by its eighth division promulgated on April 24, the CA said it could not find 'any cogent reason to depart from the PhilHealth's Board of Director's ruling.' The CA's ruling dismisses the appeal filed by Wellmed Dialysis and Laboratory Center Corporation to reverse the June 2019 decision of PhilHealth Corp.
