The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) MIMAROPA has urged its members to register and avail of the Konsultasyong Sulit at Tama or “KonSulTa Package.”
The PhilHealth KonSulTa Package includes targeted health risk screening and assessment, initial and follow-up consultations, standard laboratory tests, and 21 essential drugs and medicines.
“Maganda po ang programang KonSulTa. It is more of preventive rather curative. It will prevent whatever illnesses na pwedeng mangyari sa atin,” PhilHealth MIMAROPA Regional Vice President Jerry F. Ibay said during the Kapihan sa Bagong Pilipinas on Tuesday, September 10.
Ibay added that this program is a “game changer” because it allows members to access their contributions even if they are not sick.
Around 946,629 people have enrolled out of the 3,313,035 population in the MIMAROPA region since the launch of the KonSulTa program, PhilHealth reported.
Of these, 459,328 enrollees are from Palawan; 284,541 from Oriental Mindoro; 179,256 from Occidental Mindoro; 12,760 from Romblon; and 10,744 from Marinduque.
Meanwhile, PhilHealth Romblon and Marinduque’s Social Insurance Officers also asked for the assistance of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) and the local media across the MIMAROPA region to amplify the KonSulTa Package.
“Tulungan nyo kaming ma-encourage pa ‘yun pong ating mga PhilHealth members na magparehistro sa ating mga Konsulta providers para po mabigyan rin sila ng mga serbisyo,” PhilHealth Marinduque Social Insurance Officer Joylyn Manrique said.
“Nandyan na po yung programa, gagamitin na lang po natin. Kaya kailangan po namin ng tulong ng media, at ng PIA to spread the information at maipaabot po sa mga tao ang benefits ng Konsulta,” PhilHealth Romblon Social Insurance Officer Leandro Flores added.
All PhilHealth members are encouraged to register and avail themselves of the KonSulTa Package, which may be done through self-registration via the member portal at www.philhealth.gov.ph or at any PhilHealth Local Insurance Offices in their area. (AS/PIA MIMAROPA)
