Quezon City Eye Center decries fraud allegations

The Quezon City Eye Center, a leading PhilHealth-accredited facility specializing in cataract surgery for the poor and senior citizens, has  decried insinuations that it was engaged in the filing of fraudulent claims in the cataract package of PhilHealth.

Speaking for the popular 18-year-old facility, Lorna Kapunan, a lawyer, said, “It is good for PhilHealth and the Department of Health (DOH) to continuously monitor and audit its accredited institutions. The safeguarding of funds meant for the poor and senior citizens is a must.  To insinuate, however,  that the QC Eye Center is engaged in fraudulent acts is grossly unfair and prejudicial to the dedicated professionals who provide quality and successful cataract operations at the lowest possible cost.”
