The Department of Information and Communications Technology and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation have announced on Tuesday the integration of the ePhilHealth Platform in the eGovPH app, enabling the general public to digitally access and avail of the various digital health insurance services securely and conveniently anywhere they are in the world.
With the integration in the eGovPH app, PhilHealth members can now effortlessly access their membership profile, contribution history, declared beneficiaries as well as benefit availment history. Members can also view the list and register in the Konsulta provider that they have chosen, making primary care services within reach of every Filipino citizen.
In his message, DICT Secretary Ivan John E. Uy said that such transformative enhancement will “revolutionize and elevate the user experience”, in compliance with Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act and as directed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. during his last State of the Nation Address to expedite digitalization efforts toward better public service delivery.
For his part, PhilHealth President and CEO Emmanuel R. Ledesma, Jr. thanked the DICT for this “transformative endeavor” which is not merely a step forward for PhilHealth but a great leap towards realizing the President’s vision for digitalization.
“This directive has been our guiding light, compelling us to reimagine and revolutionize the way PhilHealth will serve the Filipino nation. Gone are the days of tedious repetition of administrative paperwork, a mere few clicks will give our members the capacity to avail of this service with unparalleled ease,” he added.
