Philippine Mental Health Act 2018 (RA 11036)
Republic Act 11036, the Philippine Mental Health Act, mandates integration of mental health into the basic health care system, universal health coverage, and quality standards for mental health services. HiBoop supports outcome monitoring requirements for DOH-licensed mental health facilities, hospital-based services, and private practitioners accredited under PRC.
PHQ-9 & GAD-7 for Filipino Practice
PHQ-9 and GAD-7 are the standard evidence-based screening tools used across Philippine hospital psychiatric units, community mental health services, and private practice. Both tools are endorsed by the Philippine Psychiatric Association (PPA) and the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA). HiBoop handles administration, scoring, and longitudinal trend tracking across all sessions.
PhilHealth & DOH Documentation
PhilHealth expanded mental health benefit packages under UHC Act (RA 11223) to cover outpatient psychiatric care and psychotherapy sessions. HiBoop keeps session-level scores on one timeline per client, with exports you can include in your accreditation and quality documentation.
Community Mental Health Centres (CMHCs)
RA 11036 mandates establishment of Community Mental Health Centres (CMHCs) at provincial, city, and municipal levels. HiBoop provides session-level outcome monitoring tools appropriate for CMHC settings, so frontline mental health workers, social workers, and community psychiatrists can follow each client over time.
One Published Price List
Care is $25/month for one clinician, month to month. Team starts at $200/month with unlimited clinicians. Network is custom. One price list in US dollars, published on our pricing page.
