The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the world is now shifting toward the post-pandemic phase of Influenza A (H1N1). Post-pandemic phase means that Influenza A (H1N1) virus has taken on a behavior and intensity similar to that of the regular seasonal flu viruses.
In consideration of this change in behavior of Influenza A (H1N1) virus, the Corporation amends PhilHealth Circular Nos. 25 and 33 series of 2009 and shall no longer pay Influenza A (H1NI) as a special benefit package.
Moreover, the ICD 10 code that shall be used for all claims for Influenza A (H1N1) is as follows:
| ICD 10 Code | Description | Case Type |
| J09 | Influenza due to identified avian influenza virus | A |
This Circular shall take effect fifteen (15) days after its publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation.
All provisions of previous issuances that are inconsistent with any provisions of this Circular are hereby amended or repealed accordingly. - https://www.affordablecebu.com/
