Document background
The Health Care Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing and managing healthcare service relationships in the Philippines. It is primarily used when healthcare providers, including hospitals, clinics, and medical practices, enter into formal arrangements with patients or healthcare management organizations for the provision of medical services. The agreement incorporates essential requirements from Philippine healthcare legislation, including the Universal Health Care Act (RA 11223), the National Health Insurance Act, and the Data Privacy Act. It details service scope, quality standards, payment terms, insurance arrangements through PhilHealth, and patient rights and responsibilities. This document is crucial for ensuring compliance with Philippine healthcare regulations while providing clear guidelines for all parties involved in the healthcare service delivery process.
