I expect I will need to have it done some time in the future if I live long enough. Hello mike J, Had the eye surgery yesterday in Dumaguete, very professional operation, with all the test and eye drops come to P47k. That was with mono lens. Went for an checkup today and all is well, got to keep the eye drops every 3 hours, one for anti-inflammatory the other for anti-bacteria. So far so good, need to wear sun glasses as I'm not use to my eye's letting so much day-light in. Massive difference to my distance sight but may need reading glasses, due to mono lens. Oh, and that P47K included the Phil-health discount, If I had the senior discount id they would discount even more. Not sure Foreigners are allowed that!

GeoffH Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 I've seen a few people mention PhilHealth as an option, is that restricted to 13A and SRRV or can tourist visa holders avail of it as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the memo in 2017, coverage is extended to SRRV holders and others who hold ACR I-cards who are residing and/or working in the Philippines. I'd imagine tourists are not able to get cover on this basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffH Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 I suspect you’re correct and a tourist ACR card won’t be enough (like with most banks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tourist can avail of Philhealth but must pay the full amount P17K. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
