The initiative forms part of PhilHealth's continuing efforts to simplify membership registration and make government services more accessible and convenient for Filipinos. In Region IX, PhilHealth is coordinating with local PSA offices to pave the way for the rollout of the integrated service in participating LHIOs.
Once available, members will be able to complete both PhilHealth membership registration and PhilSys National ID application in one location, saving time and transportation costs.
“Our goal is simple: every visit to PhilHealth should be productive, convenient, and worthwhile. By bringing essential government services together, we are making it easier for more Filipinos to register with PhilHealth and access the health benefits available to them,” said PhilHealth President and CEO Dr. Edwin M. Mercado.
Dr. Mercado said the initiative supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s directive to streamline government processes and improve the ease of doing business by making public services faster, more efficient, and more responsive to the needs of Filipinos.
While the integrated onsite service is being readied in the region, individuals may already register and update their PhilHealth membership records through the PhilHealth Member Portal and the eGovPH Super App. Members may likewise contact the PhilHealth Action Center 24/7 through (02) 8662-2588 or the Click-to-Call facility available on the PhilHealth website at www.philhealth.gov.ph.
PhilHealth Regional Office IX will announce the availability of the integrated PhilHealth-PSA registration service in participating LHIOs as local rollout arrangements are completed in coordination with the Philippine Statistics Authority.
By making both onsite and digital services more accessible, PhilHealth continues to remove barriers to membership registration and bring healthcare closer to every Filipino in support of the Universal Health Care Act. (PR)
