Guide on PCSO Medical Assistance Offer for Filipinos
The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office offers a Medical Assistance to Filipinos who are in need of a financial aid.
In the Philippines, the legal and authorized lotto operator is the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office or more popularly called PCSO. It operates several major and minor lotto games and the former has multi-million jackpot prizes that excite countless bettors daily.
However, what is quite unknown to many people is that the PCSO actually offers a Medical Assistance to help the Filipinos who are in the midst of financial needs due to medical situations.
The PCSO launched the PCSO Medical Assistance Program or the IMAP. It aims not only to provide financial assistance to Filipinos who are caught by medical emergencies but as well as to bridge the gap allowing poor Filipinos to receive the proper treatment with minimal costs.
The IMAP is avaible for Filipinos across the nation even those who are living in very remote areas. The following patients in dire need of financial assistance may qualify for the aid offer of the lotto body:
- confined in a healthcare facility
- outpatient cases for any type of healthcare management
- seeking medical attention abroad for procedures or treatments that no facility in the Philippines can perform
With regards to the amount that the PCSO extends as a medical cash assistance, it depends on a case-to-case basis. The lotto body has crafted a list of documentary requirements under each case to prove the medical condition of the patient as it has a wide coverage.
It is an edge to know that the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office is one of the entities that you may turn to in times of financial needs due to medical situations. It has helped countless Filipinos who met emergency and non-emergency medical situations and financial unreadiness at the same time.
