MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) has denied P54.4 million in claims for reimbursement by the National Kidney and Transplant Institute (NKTI) due to incomplete documents and other deficiencies.

State auditors made the observation in its 2021 audit report on the NKTI, a government-run tertiary medical hospital in Quezon City that specializes in kidney and related diseases.
