Ayon sa NBI, nagpabaya ang mga respondents sa kanilang tungkulin nang aprubahan ang akreditasyon ng Wellmed noong 2019 sa kabila ng imbestigasyon ng fact-finding investigation at enforcement division ng Philhealth ukol sa ghost claims ng Wellmed.
Sinabi pa ng NBI na nabigo ang Philhealth accreditation department sa head office division na aksyunan ang mosyon na bawiin ang akreditasyon ng wellmed para sa 2019 kahit may imbestigasyon at whistleblowers na sa pekeng dialysis claims ng kumpanya.
Nabatid sa imbestigasyon ng NBI anti- graft division na hindi nagsagawa ang Philhealth regional office ncr ng periodic monitoring sa health care institution gaya ng wellmed na paglabag sa batas.
Tiniyak ng NBI na patuloy ang kanilang imbestigasyon sa isyu at sa iba pang mga healthcare institutions.
Sa ngayon walang ebidensya ang nbi na tumanggap ng suhol ang mga philhealth officials mula sa wellmed.
Pero kumbinsido ang NBI na nagkaroon ng sabwatan sa pagitan ng mga Philhealth officials at ng Wellmed.
