" The Philippine Government shall protect every worker in the Philippines in the event of work-connected disability or death."
If you are looking for the health insurance program Medicare, it is covered in Title III of the Philippine Labor Code, Article 209, under the subheading Medicare. (See: Republic Act 6111, Philippine Medical Care Act of 1969)
The medical health benefits available to the employee are discussed in detail in Chapter V of the second Title in Book IV of the Philippine Labor Code (See: Labor Code of the Philippines, Book IV).
In Chapter I, Article 166, under the Policy subheading, it is stated that the Philippine Government shall protect every worker in the Philippines in the event of work-connected disability or death. By developing, promote and upholding a tax-exempt compensation program, the employee and his/her dependent(s), may promptly secure ample income and medical-related benefits.
Article 167 may be used to identify the contextual meaning of the terms being used in this section (or other sections, unless indicated otherwise).
One example of the System's medical employee benefits provided is in the event a legally employed member employee in the Philippines sustains an injury or contracts sickness, he/she shall be provided with the appropriate medical treatment and devices required by the nature of his sickness or injury. Furthermore, appropriate medical services and devices required for the progress of his recovery will also be provided. This medical benefit is subject to the expense limitation prescribed by the Commission. This medical benefit is also available only during the subsequent period of his disability, or as prescribed by the Commission.
Refusal of the Government sanctioned examination or treatment will void the medical benefits, during such time the refusal persist. However, the Employees' Compensation Commission will study the reason of the employee's refusal and by its own initiative determine the character, necessity, and sufficiency of the medical benefits offered (or to be offered). (See: Article 188).
Article 190 further expands the Rehabilitation Services medical benefit. The System will establish a continuing rehabilitation program for the injured and handicapped member employees or those who are entitled to the System's rehabilitation services. The Rehabilitation Services also include medical, hospital, and surgical treatment, and will also provide all the necessary equipment for them to become physically independent.
The System states of the authority to designate a physician, hospital or rehabilitation facility for the employee. Any aggravation of the employee's sickness or injury, or any additional medical compensation due to unauthorized changes by the employee will not be held liable to the System (See: Article 186).
Fees for the medical services including other charges, e.g. for hospital services, medicine and appliances, professional fees - shall not be higher than the standard fee incurred if when in a hospital ward for similar general medical treatment. All medical fees for employee benefits are subject to the regulations of the Commission (See: Article 189).
