ALEXANDER A. Padilla (left), President and Chief Executive Officer of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) turns over the mock up of the Lifetime Member Program (LMP) identification card to former Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director-General Dionisio R. Santiago, formally welcoming him to the LMP.
Lifetime members of PhilHealth are those who have reached the age of retirement and have paid at least 120 months’ premium. They are granted lifetime coverage without having to pay any premium anymore.
The ID distribution took place during the Forum on Social Protection held in celebration of the Elderly Filipino Week at the SM Mega Trade Hall in Mandaluyong City.
As of June 2014, a total of 1.45 million PhilHealth members and dependents are already registered under the LMP. (END)
