MEDIA ADVISORY

Date: November 13, 2026

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) assures its members that mammogram, breast ultrasound, and liver ultrasound remain covered benefits.

PhilHealth Advisory 2026-0058 updates the accreditation requirements for YAKAP Clinics for 2027. YAKAP Clinics are no longer required to offer these procedures on-site, as they are already covered under a dedicated benefit package for outpatient cancer screening.

Member access to these benefits are not affected. Members may visit their YAKAP Clinic and, if needed, be referred to a PhilHealth-accredited cancer screening facility. 

PhilHealth requests for media partners to help disseminate this clarification so members can continue to avail of these benefits with confidence.

For inquiries, members and healthcare providers may contact the PhilHealth 24/7 Corporate Action Center at (02) 8662-2588 or visit www.philhealth.gov.ph.
