MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Nov. 24 (PIA8) -- The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) members and beneficiaries can now have easier, faster way to facilitate membership verification through the PhilHealth LINK project. | |||
PhilHealth Service Office Head Misael Paigan said their office, through PhilHealth Link Communication Center (PLCC), can now respond to queries on membership and collection status of the patients. | |||
The facilities of the PhiHealth Link including the systems developed will be made available to all government hospitals and soon to include the RHUs. | |||
Paigan said the operation of the PhilHealth Link is an improvement from the manual member verification method through mobile or landline phones. | |||
PhilHealth Southern Leyte Information Officer Henry Madula said it would be easier for any hospital patients to verify if they could avail the PhilHealth services as a member or as a beneficiary of a family relative working in other places. | |||
Magdula said some patients prefer to be charged to the charity ward instead of verifying at their office. | |||
Magdula further said with the introduction of said facilities, PhilHealth hopes to increase Bed Occupancy Rate of the HCP and improve the Benefit Delivery Rate in the region. (PIA Southern Leyte/esg) | |||

For the BDR component on access, Information Officer Madula said virtually all rural health units around the province, including several Leyte towns under their coverage, were already accredited, and as such Philhealth’s services can be delivered to these facilities for members, like pregnant women who are members themselves or beneficiaries of active members. | For the BDR component on access, Information Officer Madula said virtually all rural health units around the province, including several Leyte towns under their coverage, were already accredited, and as such Philhealth’s services can be delivered to these facilities for members, like pregnant women who are members themselves or beneficiaries of active members. | ||
