PHILHEALTH

ABS-CBN News Digital Intern

Hindi katulad ng ibang ID na bigay ng gobyerno, ang Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) ID ay walang bayad at hindi nawawalang bisa, pero maaari itong gamitin para makakuha ng iba’t ibang benepisyo.Ang Philhealth ID ay nagsisilbing pruweba ng identipikasyon at na ang isang indibidwal ay miyembro ng National Health Insurance Program kung saan dapat parte ang bawat Pilipino, ayon sa Universal Healthcare Act.Hinikayat ng PhilHealth NCR (National Capital Region) Public Affairs chief Mon Acoba na magrehistro ang kahit sinong indibidwal sa insurance program.“Ang PhilHealth kasi naaalala lang kami kung kailan nagkasakit ‘no, [pero] gusto natin na proactive na yung ating mga members na hindi kailangan magkasakit para maka-avail,” sabi ni Acoba sa ABS-CBN News.(PhilHealth is only remembered when people get sick, but we want our members to be proactive, in that they don’t have to be sick to avail.)Dagdag niya na maliban sa pagpapa-ospital, sakop na rin ng PhilHealth ang maintenance at essential na medisina at mga check-up sa pamamagitan ng Yaman ng Kalusugan program (YAKAP).<div>PROSESO</div>Bago ang lahat, kailangan munang magrehistro bilang miyembro sa website memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph, eGov App, o sa pinakamalapit na opisina ng PhilHealth. Sa prosesong ito masasagutan ang PhilHealth Member Registration Form at makukuha ang PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN).Sa form ilalagay ang personal na impormasyon ng aplikante at mga detalye ukol sa kanyang dependents, na maaaring maging magulang na edad 60 pataas o asawa at mga anak.Kinakailangan din magpasa ng birth certificate na aprubabo ng Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) ang mga aplikante sa pagrehistro, maliban sa mga dayuhan na sa halip ay hihingian ng passport at mga kasal na magpapasa ng kontrata ng pagkakasal.Hindi na kailangang magsumite ang mga nasa kolehiyo ng enrollment registration form o Certificate of Matriculation, dahil ang mga 21-anyos o pataas ay maaari nang maging direct contributors.Ayon kay Acoba, ang mga walang pambayad sa pagpagamot ngunit hindi pa miyembro ng PhilHealth ay tutulungang mag-apply ng mga kinatawan ng Department of Social Welfare and Development, na tutukoy rin kung sino ang kwalipikado para maging indirect contributor.Sa pagkuha ng PhilHealth ID, ihanda ang dalawang 1x1 na letrato, birth certificate o dalawang ID na galing sa gobyerno at dalawang kopya ng nasagutan na registration form.Pumunta sa pinakamalapit na PhilHealth Express Outlet o opisina ng ahensya upang makahingi ng request form. Dito ipapasa ang request form kasama ang ibang sumusuportang dokumento bago makuha ang ID at member data record.I-pepresenta ang PhilHealth ID o PIN at member data record sa klinika o ospital na akreditado ng korporasyon tuwing magpapagamot.Habang ang pagrehistro at pagkuha ng ID ay libre, nakabatay sa dalawang uri ng membership category ang magiging bayarin ng isang indibidwal.Ang mga direct contributor ay nagbabayad ng premium rate na 5% ng kanilang suweldo, habang ang mga indirect contributor o mga mahihirap ay sagot ng gobyerno.Nilinaw ni Acoba na hindi basehan ang binabayad na kontribusyon ng isang indibidwal sa kanyang magiging health coverage.“No bearing kung how much yung premium contribution na binabayaran mo, kasi yung benefit packages natin pantay-pantay po yan,” aniya.(How you pay in your premium contribution has no bearing, because our benefit packages are standardized.)“Ito yung kagandahan sa universal healthcare (This is what’s great about universal healthcare). We are based on social solidarity, on social equity, and social justice, which means na regardless of your status in life, and the premium contributions that you are paying, you can still avail of PhilHealth benefits.”

Ang Philhealth ID ay nagsisilbing pruweba ng identipikasyon at na ang isang indibidwal ay miyembro ng National Health Insurance Program.
