DAVAO CITY, Mar. 18 – Philhealth members now
have the convenience to access their membership and contribution records
through an online member inquiry facility made readily available in the
agency’s website.
With the build-up of global network linkages
where millions now have access to the internet, many private and public
agencies, including Philhealth found the apparent need to provide its clients
an electronic gateway to its services.
Using their unique Philhealth Identification
Number (PIN), members will have to register and come up with a password which
will serve as reference once they log in to their individual records.
The facility allows members to view pertinent
information found in one’s Member Data Record (MDR) such as their address, date
of birth, dependents information and even history of contributions.
PCEO Alexander Padilla said this encourages members
to update their MDRs when necessary in order to facilitate a hassle-free
availment of benefits.
Aside from the member inquiry facility,
members can also search and view the amount of their Philhealth benefits based
on the Case Rate payment scheme or fixed package rate per medical condition or
procedure.
With the Search Case Rates toolbar, members
will only have to type the description or code of the illness or procedure to
view the amount of the benefit and the distribution of the hospital and professional
fees.
According to Philhealth, this e-innovation is
part of another milestone as it celebrates its 20th year in the health care
industry.
Both the member inquiry facility and case
rates toolbar can be found in the homepage of their website, www.philhealth.gov.ph.
