How to Apply for PCSO Medical Assistance – REQUIREMENTS

All Filipinos who are hospitalized or receiving medical treatment can apply for the PCSO Individual Medical Assistance Program (IMAP). You don’t have to be an indigent patient to get approval; you don’t have to personally know anyone serving a government position to become a PCSO medical financial assistance beneficiary.

Any Filipino can apply to become a recipient of PCSO Medical Charity program as long as the patient fulfills any of the following criteria:

  1. You are confined in any health facility.
  2. You are receiving health care management as outpatient.
  3. You are seeking health care management in another country, because there is no existing health facility within the Philippines that can provide the procedure that your illness demands.

Apply to Become a Beneficiary of PCSO Medical Financial Assistance

Getting sick and being hospitalized is a big burden especially when it comes to the financial aspect of becoming ill. Even more so if you or your family member who is ill doesn’t have any HMO coverage or health insurance, or worst doesn’t have any money to pay the hospitalization bill, the needed surgery, the needed medicine.

That is why the PCSO or the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Charity Program is a big help for those who need kaagapay sa pagpapagaling. Do not hesitate to apply at PCSO. If another family member is sick, you can help process the PCSO application for medical assistance.

Requirements to Apply PCSO Medical Assistance

If you meet the criteria above, you now need to prepare all the needed requirements, the documents and papers that you need to submit to the Philippine Charity Sweepstake Office to avail the Medical Assistance.

Once you get approval like for hospital confinement there will be a PCSO guarantee letter that is issued to the hospital or partner health facility, detailing that PCSO will assume the obligation to pay a specific amount due of the patient to the health provider.

Unfortunately, PCSO usually will not be able to shoulder the full amount due of the patient-beneficiary for the treatment received. This is because the Individual Medical Assistance Program or IMAP deals with thousands of patients every day all over the Philippines. All these patients need financial assistance and PCSO gives as much help as they can to everyone who applies for medical financial assistance within the budget allocation for the program. But still, financial help is a welcome thing no matter the amount. But of course we pray and hope that you will be granted and approved for a big amount from PCSO.how to apply pcso medical assistance program

    • Hi Miguel, regarding your case please visit a PCSO office. Dun kasi sa guideline ng PCSO reconstructive surgery especially cosmetic in nature ay hindi sakop. Yung unique case mo ang PCSO mismo ang makakapagsabi if covered sya, or not. Kaya para ma-100% sure please go to PCSO and talk to their officers there.

  12. Pwede kaya ako makaavail ng tulong pcso merun ako cervical polyp at need daw operahan kasu wala pako pera at dko rin magagamit ang philhealth ko.

    • Hi Ma’am, punta po kayo sa pinakamalapit na PCSO office. Or if may government hospital po na malapit sa inyo, punta po kayo dun and hanapin ang PCSO desk para po ma evaluate ang case niyo and matulungan kayo.

  13. Good morning po, I have my sister who is presently confined at Cebu Velez Hospital for more than 2 weeks now, she is also a government employee but due to her ailments, she is now in her critical state that medication is sometimes be our problem dahil nasa private hospital. Gusto ko po siyang tulungan kaso nasa Mindanao ako ngayon at nasa Cebu po siya. Paano ko po matutulungan sa pamamagutan po ng programa ng PCSO?

    • Hi Sir, puede ka mag process ng PCSO medical assistance request in behalf of your sister, but you need to be where she is right now, also you need her signature on the authorization letter.

    • Kasi po Ms Buliya A. P., talking face to face with a PCSO officer is the best way to have all your questions answered about securing medical assistance, you can make follow-up questions pa and get answers right away.

  15. I am on the process of applying for an assistance para sa nanay ko. Please wish me luck. Thank you Isensey.

    • Hi Ma’am Eden, sana po makuha niyo agad-agad yung PCSO assistance. Tsaka, we hope po na makabalik kayo sa post na to at maishare yung resulta ng application at magkano ang binigay na assistance sa inyo pag-na-approve na. Salamat po!

    • Ma’am, mas ma-ige if ifollow-up niyo po, dalhin nyo yung mga documents galing sa hospital at copy ng PCSO applications niyo.

  17. will PCSO still provide hospitalization assistance for the second time in less than 6months?

  18. Pwede po ba ako humingi ng assistance para sa makabili po ng colostomy supplies in my 21 years of existence po kasi gusto kopo na mabawasan ang aking paghihirap at maipagpatuloy ang aking pangarap.

  19. Advice lang po, try nyo po makumpleto yung mga requirements na kailangan nyo, then pumunta po kayo sa PCSO sa lugar nyo po mismo (need po kasi na kung saan kayong city or province nakatira ay dun kayo mag-a-apply), at need po talaga na makausap nyo yung employee ng PCSO na nagko-conduct ng initial interview, para malaman nyo po kung paano nila kayo matutulungan sa problema nyo. God bless po.

  20. good eve po,ako po judy son of ma. theresa baclay,tga cebu po kami nkaconfined si mama ko sa isang private hospital,tnx god ok na po sya pero hindi po makalabas dahil po sa laki ng hospital bill namin umabot po kasi ng mahigit 200 000 ea wla po kaming pambayad,,kung pwede po hihingi sana kami ng tulong sa inyo para sa aming bill,,kais mag-iisang buwan na po c mama nghintay ng tulong pra mkalabas…tnx po

    • Hi Judy, based dito sa dalawang comment mo, naka-hingi ka na ng tulong sa PCSO but yung assistance na naibigay dun lang sa gamot, tama ba? Our suggestion for you would be to approach again PCSO and plead your case and request them for help again. Puede ka ding magtry approach sa LGU ng Cebu City baka may maitulong sila. We hope with you na sanay makauwi na mama mo as soon as possible.

  21. sa private hospital po c mama nadala kasi po yun lang ang pinakamalapit na hospital kung saan siya inatake sa puso…may mga tulong po naman kaming natanggap pero hanggang gamot lang po….sana po ay matulungan niyo po kami…tatanawin po naming malaking utang na loob sa inyo po,,,maraming salamat po…..nasa south general hospital nga po pala c mama nka confined sa cebu….salamat po ulit

    • good evening po. pano po maka avail ng assistance for medicines for my sr cit mother. na confine po sya 2x na for cardiovascular heart disease. ang laki po ng maintenance nya sa gamot. sana po matulongan po ako.

  22. Gud day po,,bkit po ung ibang private hospital ay hindi allowed ung assestance nang pcso,,? Paanu pong gagawin,, malaking tulong po sana ung pcso sa hospital bill nmin,, !!

    • Hi Aljon, puedeng malaman anong ospital eto? Also call po kayo sa PCSO directly and share niyo po naging experience niyo sa private hospital na yan at hingi na din ng advise direct from the PCSO officer.

    • Hi Judy, kung wala pa kayong natatanggap na tulong sa PCSO, punta po kayo sa PCSO nearest your residence. Or ask po kayo sa Social Welfare officer ng hospital kasi baka yung hospital mismo meron ng PCSO desk. May mga hospital kasi na merong PCSO Coordinator na.

  24. Ilang weeks po ba bago ma grant yung application?? Na submit na po kasi namin yung requiremnt ang sabi e ttxt nalng daw kami.. one week na po nakakalipas wala pa rin.. 🙁

    • Wala pong fix processing dates ang PCSO, ang best po na gagawin is mag follow-up po kayo kung ano na ang status ng Medical Assistance application niyo po. If possible, try to reach out dun po sa nakausap niyo nung nag apply or yung nag handle ng case niyo mismo.

  25. Kahit po ba may philhealth at health card eh tumutulonv pa din po ba ang pcso? Kc sobrang lake pa din po ng bill namin kahit na less na yung s health card? Kaya di po makalabas ng hospital.. sa hospital po ba ipapangalan ung cheke o sa nag lakad ng papers? Tnx

  26. Hi,ako poh c kaycee..gusto ko poh sanang ilapit ung asawa ko sa pcso.pde poh b ung case ng asawa ko may lumbo sacral spine kc sya sa likod.napa MRI n nmin sya last year ska therapy,kso last check up nmin sa doctor ng asawa ko,hiningan ulit sya ng request ng MRI,gusto ko sanang maisagawa kagad upang malaman nmin kung naging ok b ung therapy nia o ndi..kaso d poh nmin kaya ipagawa ung request kc poh mahal,nag babaka sakali poh sana akong matugunan nio ung pang MRI ng asawa ko dhil wla poh kaming sapat na pera para ipagawa toh.dhil wla poh kme parehong trabaho dhil sa nag kasakit ang asawa ko.salamat poh!!!

    • Hi Kaycee, icheck mo if merong PCSO desk yung hospital na affiliated yung doctor ng asawa po tapos hingi ka dun ng assistance. If walang PCSO desk yung hospital, need mo pumunta talaga sa office ng PCSO para na din makuha mo requirements na kailangang isubmit para sa case ng asawa mo.

  27. Tanong lang po, Sinabihan po kami sa PCSO Lucena Office na tigil na ang assistance ng PCSO para sa Dialysis. Gaano po ito katotoo? Kung totoo, ito po ba ay permanente ng tigil o ibabalik pa muli?

    • Meron pa din po kaso via enrollment system na ang PCSO Assistance for Hemo and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients this 2016. Magsusulat po ng new article ang iSensey tungkol dito para mo maishare ng mas maigi ang mga detalye. Paantay na lang po yung new post regarding new PCSO rule on Dialysis patient assistance.

      Update: Read details po regarding Dialysis Assistance application sa PCSO.

    • Puede pa din po, lahat kasi ng Filipino ay puedeng humingi ng medical assistance sa PCSO. Kaso ang ward patients ang may priority assistance, pero puede pa din po humingi ng tulong.

  29. Nabasa ko ang mga comments at may tulad din ako na experience dito sa Bacolod na guard ang naging front liner. Sana po may officer din na haharap at hindi guard.

    • Hi Mark, pag next time ma encounter niyo ulit yan, mag request sa guard na if puede irefer kayo sa isang PCSO personnel mismo. Pag hindi papayag, sabihin niyo na mapipilitan kayong ireport sa hotline 8888 ang nangyari. Siguro naman papayag sila kasi kailangan ng mamamayan na mismong staff ng PCSO ang makausap.

    • Hi Vhine case to case basis po ang release ng assistance, kaya di talaga ma 100% sure kung kelan ma approve and release ang medical assistance. You can try to contact PCSO para dritso mo marinig ang sagot nila sa specific case mo.

  31.

    • Hi Rafaela, idulog mo ito mismo sa PCSO especially ayun sa sabi mo nabigyan ka at Guarantee Letter ng PCSO at iyun ay naipasa mo na sa hospital.

  32. Hi iSensey,

    You are doing a great service to the community, and we are all thankful to you. May you always be blessed.

    • Wala po kaming data tungkol sa tanong niyo Ms She. But if ang patient naka-confned sa isang hospital na may PCSO desk, malamang po mas mabilis kasi may PSCO officer na malapit lang.

  34. Hi,Good day po. Alam ko po na itong site ay para sa paghingi ng medical assistance. Naghahanap po kasi ako ng paraan kung paano mkahingi ng tulong dahil ang aking lolo ay patay na at kasalukuyang nakalibing.Nais ko po sanang malaman kung papaano humingi ng tulong para sa ganitong sitwasyon o para sa burial assistance? Umaasa po ako sa inyong sagot.Maraming salamat po.

  35. Magandang umaga po ask ko lang kung ilang sessions po ba ng dialysis ang free..at ilang session ang bawat claim? Nabanggit po kasi sa website na 6 claims po sa loob ng one year..And mama ko kasi she’s on hemodiadialysis. Ito po si Marissa. Thank you po

  36. Hi… Ask ko lang poh kasi ung kapatid ko kelangan na kelangan na sya mshockwave ung both kidneys nya may mga bato na saka un pong tubo nya sa gitna kidney at pantog may nakabara na. Ung creatinine nya po sobrang taas na saka ung testicles nya namamaga na po. Pwede po kaya mailapit sa pcso? Walang wala po kaming pera kelangan narin maishockwave yung kapatid ko po. Salamat po sa sagot.

    • Hi Jack, puede niyo pong ilapit sa PCSO ang case ng kapatid niyo. iprepare nyo lang yung basic requirements tapos punta kayo, malamang may mga specific requirements na hihingin ang PCSO for shockwave cases.

    • Walang fix number of days po, depende kasi sa case at sa current application load ng PCSO. Ask nalang po kayo direct sa social worker pag makapunta na kayo sa PCSO.

  38. Hi pcso good afternoon maari nyo poh ba kami tulongan sa aming hospital bill worth of 50,000 hndi na poh nmin Alam mag asawa qng Saan Kmi kukuha ng halagang 50k please help and how pcso

    • Hi po, itanong niyo po sa hospital nurse if meron silang PCSO desk sa loob ng hospital then punta kayo dun. If wala punta po kayo sa pinakamalapit na PCSO, dalhin niyo po lahat ng hospitalization record. Also po, hingi din kayo ng tulong sa munisipyo or city hall niyo, baka may maiambag din po sila sa inyong mga bayarin.

  39. Hello po. Just want to inquire about my son’s case. Meron po sya Beta Thalassemia (major). Monthly po ang blood transfusion nya and nag iron chelation na din po sya for 9 months.

  40. Hi, tinutulungan ko po ngayon yung family ng girlfriend/fiance ko kahit konting amount lng. Hindi po nila mabayaran ang hospital bills sa SPMC, yung mother niya was diagnosed, ang nangyari, may blood clot sa veins niya apat ang nakita, then after 2 days nag run ng test ulit nalaman yung apendix sumabog at maraming gall stones sa gallbladder niya. Nag-approach sila sa Lingap sabi kailangan sa PCSO idaan bago sila dahil sobrang laki ng bills babayaran sa hospital. Pwde po ba khit hindi family member lumapit sa inyo for help para sa kanila? Also ang sabi, they need to fly to Manila and present the documents required para maka.assist po sa kanila. The problem is wala po sila funds to travel. Pwde po ba ako na lng magsubmit ng documents since andito po ako? isend na lng nila ang documents sa akin.

    • Hi Edsel, puede po ibang tao ang mag process ng PCSO provided na meron kang authorization letter na original plus valid ID mo at valid ID ng pasyente, together with other docs like medical certificate, lab results, etc. Ipatanong din sa hospital, baka meron silang PCSO assistance desk sa loob mismo ng hospital para duon nalang iprocess.

  41. Good Day 🙂

  45. Hello po, ask ko lang po if papasok po ung case ng kapatid ko for medical assistance ng PCSO, wala po kasi Philhealth ung parent ko. We need at least 10500 for gastroscopy, yan po estimate samin from San Juan De Dios na hindi macocover ng HMO. Ask ko din po if ano ung Certified/True Copy of the Updated Clinical Abstract? sa Doctor na po ba namin to kukunin?

  46. pwde po ba mag apply sa PCSO for medical assistance or kahit po para lng sa medicine ung mga dinadialysis na may health card? masyado po ksi mahal ung inienject after magdialysis P880 po kada session. bale ung health card po na un eh sa company po ng asawa ko at dependent lng po ako. salamat po.

    • Thank you Jacqueline for leaving a comment about the help you got from PCSO. Sana po madami pang matulungan ang PCSO na talagang nangangailangan.

  48. Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat na taga-pangasiwa ng PCSO, isa po sana ako sa nangangailangan ng inyong tulong na naghahangad na mabigyan ng pagkakataon.
    Isa na po ako ngayong PWD sa dahilan ng pagkaputol ng kaliwa kong paa. Ang kailangan ko po ngayon ay Ang makatayong muli sa pamamagitan ng prosthetic leg, ngunit medyo may kamahalan Ang magkaroon ng ganon..kaya sa inyo ko po naisipang lumapit dahil nabalitaan ko po na marami na kayong taong natulongan na kagaya kong isang mahirap lamang.
    Ang naging problema ko ngayon ay kung paano ako makakuha ng qoutations from 3 other suppliers. Taga mindanao lang kasi ako specific na lugar ay OZAMIS CITY…kahit isang supplier dito ay wala..kailangan ko pa na pumunta ng maynila…
    Ano po Ang dapat kong gawin..sana po ay may makapansin….salamat po ng marami…GOD BLESS….

    • Sir, baka meron po kayong kakilala sa Manila or Cebu na puedeng mag request ng quote sa supplier? sana meron po kasi kailangan ng PCSO yun. Or if malapit kayo sa PCSO branch dyan sa Ozamiz, try niyo po ask directly sa kanila kung may exceptions po ba na umiiral dyan sa lugar niyo dahil walang supplier mahanap sa probinsya. Sana po makakuha kayo ng tulong agad agad sa PCSO.

  49. Mag ask lang po ako yung tatay ko kasi ang sabi ng doctor is yung chemo nya need na iconfine sya ng limang araw. minuminuto kasing dumudugo ilong ng tatay ko. nasoparyngeal carcinoma. hindi na po kasi kaya sa public hospital dahil po sa sitwasyong walang tigil dugo ng ilong nya. ang gusto ko po malaman is kung matutulungan po ba kami sa hospital bill ng pcso kahit po ang sitwasyon nya ay Chemoteraphy pero Confine ng 5 days. kasi 5 days po syang ichemo. thank you po sa sasagot please po help naman po.

    • Hi Rommel, it is best to go to the PCSO office nearest you para ma-ask mo sila directly at malaman ang requirements for your father. Ask the hospital staff too baka meron silang PCSO assistance desk dyan.

    • Hi Lizette, puede ka po i-authorize ng father mo to process his application sa PCSO Medical Assistance. Make sure lang to bring all the required docs. Much better if you can call PCSO ahead and share all the docs you currently have with you if compliant na sa mga required documents. Sana ma-approve ang case ng tatay mo as soon as possible.

  62. Hi!

    it’s a timely topic for me and i have a somehow related question that if answered would also be helpful to others seeking assistance from pcso.

    Original or Certified true copy of the medical abstract or record signes by the attending physician, that’s one of the requirement.

    Is there anybody here know how to obtain a certified true copy of a medical document? Can we have it done through a notary public? Or should it be done on the same place or facility who issued the original document?

    I hope that somebody would be able to clarify it so it woyld be more easier for other patients or patient relatives to obtain these kind of requirements.

    Thank you for creating this article, God Bless everybody!

Bale bilas ko po yung may sakit na Lupus may kamahalan po kasi yung maintenance na gamot at obligado pong inumin niya kasi kung hindi po makakainum lalala po yung Lupus niya, kaya po baka may maitulong po ang PCSO sa kanya kahit po sa monthly maintenance ng gamot niya.
