St. Elizabeth Hospital is proud to announce that we now accept PhilHealth’s Outpatient Emergency Care Benefit (OECB), a specialized benefit package that ensures patients can receive immediate emergency care even without hospital admission.

We understand that emergencies don’t wait and neither should you. Whether it’s a sudden illness, a scary symptom, or a serious concern, our Emergency Room Unit is ready to provide essential and life-saving care when you need it the most.

What is Outpatient Emergency Care Benefit or OECB?

The Outpatient Emergency Care Benefit (OECB) is a package from PhilHealth that helps cover the cost of emergency treatment even if you’re not admitted to the hospital.

This means if you go to an accredited hospital’s Emergency Room, like St. Elizabeth Hospital, for a qualified emergency case, PhilHealth will shoulder the cost of your care under this benefit.

With OECB, you can receive timely emergency medical care without the need for admission, making it easier, faster, and more affordable to get help when it matters most.
