October 2026 Update: 17 Private Hospitals in Pampanga Join PhilHealth No Balance Billing Agreement
October 29, 2026: Seventeen private healthcare facilities in Pampanga signed a tripartite agreement with the Department of Health and PhilHealth on October 23, 2026, with the provincial government as a partner. The Philippine Information Agency reported the agreement on October 28. This private-hospital agreement is separate from the DOH government-hospital list above.
Under the agreement, participating facilities are to allocate at least 10% of their bed capacity to basic or ward accommodation. Qualified patients in eligible basic or ward accommodation may receive PhilHealth-covered services without additional payment, subject to program rules. This does not make all services or all private rooms free.

Facility names and localities follow the October 28 Philippine Information Agency report. The report describes 17 signatories, including HTC Specialty Clinic and Diagnostic Laboratory; patients should confirm the facility’s participating service and admission arrangements directly.
How patients can check eligibility
- Ask the participating hospital’s PhilHealth or billing desk whether your condition, planned treatment and accommodation qualify for the No Balance Billing arrangement.
- Confirm the availability of a basic or ward bed and which services are covered before admission whenever possible.
- Bring your PhilHealth identification or membership details and other documents requested by the hospital.
- Request an itemized explanation of any proposed charge. No Balance Billing applies only where the policy’s eligibility and covered-service conditions are met.

Important distinction: The DOH public-hospital Zero Balance Billing program and the private-hospital PhilHealth No Balance Billing agreement have different coverage and operating arrangements. Do not assume eligibility under one automatically applies to the other.
