CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Jan. 12 (PIA) -January is not even halfway yet, but as early as now, Philhealth beneficiaries have already increased by 10,000 in the province.
CALAPAN CITY, Oriental Mindoro, Jan. 14 (PIA) – The city government under Mayor Doy Leachon has implemented the program called Local Investment Fund for Employees (LIFE)that provides additional health care benefits for the city employees.
According to Ernanie C. Decena, health insurance manager of Oriental Mindoro, the figure was added to last year’s record of about 78,000 PhilHealth beneficiaries.
The program, which is almost similar to the insurance program under the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, aims to give additional hospitalization benefits to regular employees who continuously serve the public. They were issued LIFE cards in addition to the PhilHealth and Orange cards (health card for Calapeños) provided by the city government.
The provincial government has allotted a total of P58 million to support the universal health coverage program of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation.
LIFE card is exclusive only to regular city employees who are deducted P50 monthly from their salary.
Decena also said that the provincial government initiated last year a computerized data base system to record the names of their constituent-members to avoid duplication of health cards issued by both national and local governments.
“It’s just a small amount when compared to the big benefit given in time of need,” said Dr. Rene M. Color, city human resource officer. (DOS/Louie T. Cueto/PIA-4B)
The program assures access by Mindoreños to government health programs, especially those from the rural barangays. The health cards issued by the provincial government are now valid starting this month until December this year. (LBR/LTC/PIA4-B Or. Mindoro)
