Charity Servives
PCSO’s primary mandate is to provide funds in order to sustain free medical and health services to the poorest of the poor, and to augment the current resources of various institutions and organizations providing health services to the general public.
Mandatory Contributions
The PCSO is mandated by virtue of a special law to contribute funds for the following government entities: the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, the Comprehensive and Integrated Shelter and Urban Development Financing Program, the Philippine Centennial Commission and the National Commission on Indigenous People.
Individual Medical Assistance Program
Under this program, medical assistance is given to individual patients through the issuance of guarantee letters to hospitals where the patients are confined. A guarantee letter is a certification issued to hospitals for a particular charity patient under the PCSO medical assistance program where the agency assumes the obligation of settling the cost of hospitalization.
