Membership
1. Retirees who are able to complete 120 months of contribution are not
aware that they can apply to PhilHealth for Lifetime membership

ID has no picture.

PVC ID they received causing problems during benefit availment
4. Employers data, such as PEN and Employers Name, of some employees
have not yet been updated in our database.
5. I-Group Members are unaware that their PhilHealth membership has a
validity period.
6. Mismatch data on Member Data Record and PhilHealth ID of members
7. LHIOs are very strict in scrutinizing the supporting documents submitted
by members especially those under the Sponsored/Indigent Program.
8. Expand the PhilHealth Express program not only in malls but to other
cities and municipalities that have health care facilities so that
PhilHealth is accessible to all; especially in catering to the membership
concerns, enrolment and queries about benefits availment.

their premium payments due to lack of available and accessible payment
