Labor Code · Employees Compensation and State · Chapter V – Medical Benefits
Fees and Other Charges
Formerly Article 189 before the 2015 renumbering — court decisions before 2015 cite it this way.
All fees and other charges for hospital services, medical care and appliances, including professional fees, shall not be higher than those prevailing in wards of hospitals for similar services to injured or sick persons in general and shall be subject to the regulations of the Commission. Professional fees shall only be appreciably higher than those prescribed under Republic Act Numbered Sixty-One Hundred Eleven, as amended, otherwise known as the Philippine Medical Care Act of 1969.
R.A. No. 6111 or the Philippine Medical Care Act of 1969 was repealed by R.A. No. 7875 or the National Health Insurance Act of 1995, hence, this article now refers to the said repealing law.
Text and numbering follow the Department of Labor and Employment's 2022 edition of Presidential Decree No. 442, as amended and renumbered under DOLE Department Advisory No. 01, series of 2015. Former article numbers are shown in brackets. Notes are DOLE's editorial notes. Amendments after that edition are not included. For information and research only, and not legal advice.
