Post offices now accept PhilHealth payments

Post offices now accept PhilHealth payments (Mga post office tumatanggap na ng mga kontribusyon sa PhilHealth). 

Simula Hulyo ng taong kasalukuyan, ang lahat ng sangay ng post office sa bansa ay pwede nang tumanggap ng PhilHealth premium contributions mula sa mga miyembro.

PhilHealth ties up with the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) to facilitate payments for the said health insurance in more than a thousand PHLPost outlets including postal stations, regular and extensions post offices, mall postal counters, barangay and school-based post offices. PHLPost offices are visible not just in metropolitan areas but also in the most distant and remote areas of the country.

PhilHealth has encouraged its members and employers to pay over-the-counter at any PHLPost outlets and other authorized collecting agents.

Postmaster General Josie de la Cruz said the proximity of the post office to local government units, schools, and commercial establishments will provide administrators and business owners the convenience of remitting the monthly premium contributions of their companies and organizations.

PHLPost is also an authorized collecting agent to accept payment of premium contributions of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).

PhilHealth members can now monitor unclaimed refunds

“[V]acationing migrant workers, or OFWs, returning to their overseas destinations may already pay their PhilHealth premium contributions at the PhilHealth counters at the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) starting April 1, 2015,” said Labor Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz.

According to Baldoz, the POEA has advised PhilHealth that payments for overseas employment certificates (OECs) will no longer include PhilHealth premium contributions so they may avoid long queues. “OFWs should pay their PhilHealth premium contributions first before going to the POEA for their OECs.”

As to PhilHealth members with unclaimed refunds, Baldoz said the PhilHealth has announced that the names of members with unclaimed refunds of benefit payments for their or their dependents’ confinements at the UERM Medical Center from 2007-2013 and from other various accredited health care institutions may now be accessed through.www.philhealth.gov.ph/unclaimedrefunds.

These new development will enable PhilHealth members to access their unclaimed refunds, as well as updates on their claims.

“Unclaimed refunds are benefit payments which must be reimbursed by the accredited hospital to the member for a certain period. The refunds are either from an under-deduction or non-availment of benefits at point-of-service due to various circumstances at the time of confinement and remain unclaimed by members,” Baldoz explained.

“The PhilHealth is duty-bound to return these funds to its members,” she added.

To claim their refunds, members are advised to visit the nearest Regional Office or Local Health Insurance Office of PhilHealth. They may also call (02) 441-7442 for further details.

Members are required to bring two (2) valid identification cards. They will fill-out the Request for Release of Unclaimed Refund Form. Members will also be given a chance to choose their preferred release mode. They will return to the concerned regional office or local health insurance office to personally pick-up their claim. They must also opt to wait for their mailed check, if delivery service is their preferred mode.

“PhilHealth updates its list regularly so I advise members to check the website often,” said Baldoz.

“The minimum amount of refund is Php100.00. Refunds may vary based on the reports of the accredited health institutions,” said Baldoz.

A comprehensive Q&A is also posted at PhilHealth’s official website.

Baldoz commended the PhilHealth for this service. She said it helps the DOLE towards its goal of providing workers their social service benefits, which is anchored on President Benigno S. Aquino III’s 22-point Labor and Employment agenda, particularly in investing in the country’s human capital.
