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

With 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 by integratin­g all other apps used by different government agencies, such as PhilHealth, SSS, GSIS, Pag-Ibig, and local government units.

PhilHealth President and CEO Emmanuel R. Ledesma, Jr. said that their inclusion in the app is integral to the agency’s digital transforma­tion.

“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,” he said.

To access informatio­n through the eGovPH Super App, PhilHealth members must download the eGovPH mobile app via Google Play Store or App Store for free, then sign up and provide personal details such as name, birth date, address, mobile number, and email address. A one-time password will be sent to the contact number for verificati­on.

The last step is the verificati­on of account through email address. Log in can be done using the registered mobile number.

When using the app, PhilHealth members can also access their membership profile, contributi­on history, and registered Konsulta provider.

It added that more PhilHealth services are due for integratio­n with eGovPH Super App such as online registrati­on and online amendment, registrati­on with a Konsulta Package Provider of choice, and the use of QR code to facilitate verificati­on, among others.

“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,” PhilHealth said. - Mitchelle L.
