Autism Awareness Month!

Children with autism and other developmental disabilities can now avail themselves of free therapy through the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth), which launched Friday the benefit package as part of efforts to provide financial protection for all Filipinos.

“We are introducing this Z benefit package which is an improved, rationalized and relevant benefit for children with disabilities mainly to prevent the catastrophic spending of the poor and marginalized who are enrolled in the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) while ensuring quality healthcare services,” said PhilHealth officer-in-charge Ma. Jude dela Serna.

She noted that early diagnosis and intervention is important in mitigating the impact of developmental disability—the delay or deviation in motor, communication, social, emotional or behavioral development of a child.

Children with disabilities, she explained, can use the package, which may range from P3,626 to P5,276, to avail themselves of assessment and planning by medical specialist and allied health professionals such as occupational, physical and speech therapists using applicable standardized tests, including rehabilitation therapy.
