Since August, of this year, mobile officers of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) were dispatched to Hongkong. This action is in line with providing access and information to Filipinos on the agency’s membership updates and renewal, claims and benefits, and premium remittance concerns.
The task of PhilHealth mobile officers is to attend OFWs gatherings or meetings and coordinate with Filipino organizations in Hongkong to facilitate information drives promoting the agency’s programs and services.
PhilHealth, complementing its extension services overseas, also signed and entered into a Collection and Remittance Agreement with Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) and Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) accrediting them as the official collecting partners for OFW premium contributions.
