The Nationwide PhilHealth Registration Day (NPRD) scheduled this Saturday, October 2, is the start of the continuing campaign to ensure that all Filipinos can have access to quality health services, said Kassandra Louisa Mamainte, PhilHealth Marawi Service Office head.
Dubbed as 'PhilHealth Sabado, Magseguro, Magparehistro,' it aims to increase the awareness and knowledge of our constituents about PhilHealth member's benefits, rights and responsibilities as well as encourage and facilitate membership registration she further said.
The activity provides an opportunity for the indigents families identified in the National Household Targeting System (NHTS) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to be enrolled under the sponsored program, she added.
Mamainte cited that the NPRD also intends to reach-out to the informal sector, OFWs, and non-indigents for their enrolment under the individually paying program.
She said prospective registrants under this program must bring any valid ID card and P300 as premium payment for the first quarter.
Those who wish to declare dependents outright must also bring supporting documents such birth certificates and marriage contracts certified by the NSO, Mamainte further cited.
She also disclosed that registration desks manned by PhilHealth personnel will be set up in PhilHealth Marawi Service Office, Amai Pakpak Central Elementary School, Malabang National High School, Wao District Hospital, and one rural health unit or district hospital yet to be identified.
The NPRD is in consonance with the announcement of President Benigno S. Aquino III during his first State of the Nation Address that there will be universal health insurance coverage for all Filipinos within three years.
