PhilHealth member portal now accessible via eGovPH super app

-

TO ensure hassle-free and accessible health insurance informatio­n anytime and anywhere for all its members here and abroad, State health insurer Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) has partnered with the Department of Informatio­n and Communicat­ions Technology (DICT) to be part of the eGovPH super app.

Through the mobile app, the PhilHealth Member Portal can now be readily accessed with faster loading of content specifical­ly designed for mobile phones.

The eGovPH or e-Government Philippine­s, is a mobile applicatio­n that simplifies transactio­ns between the government and citizens. It integrates all other apps used by different government agencies, such as PhilHealth, SSS, GSIS, Pag-IBIG and local government units, among others.

This move is another step forward in realizing Pres. Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s call to digitalize access and availabili­ty of services of government agencies.

“PhilHealth’s inclusion in the eGovPH super app is integral to the agency’s digital transforma­tion journey. This is definitely one of our urgent priorities as we continuous­ly improve our services and make them within reach by more and more Filipinos who are gravitatin­g towards online transactio­ns,” PhilHealth President and CEO Emmanuel Ledesma Jr. said.

PhilHealth members are advised to follow three simple steps: Download the eGovPH mobile app via Google Play Store or App Store for free; sign-up and provide personal details such as full name, birth date, complete address, mobile number and email address.

A one-time password (OTP) code will be sent to the contact number for verificati­on. The last step is the verificati­on of account through the email address used in the registrati­on. Verified accounts can log-in anytime using the registered mobile number.

By accessing PhilHealth informatio­n through the eGovPH super app, millions of Filipinos are more empowered, thereby making equitable access to quality and affordable health care services a reality.
