New PhilHealth Region VI Satellite Office Opens in Pavia December 12, 2019
To fulfill its mandate of providing accessible healthcare services and bringing frontline services closer to its members, PhilHealth Regional Office VI opens another satellite office in Robinsons Place Pavia, Iloilo.
Located at the 3rd Floor area of the said mall, the satellite office operates Mondays to Fridays, from 10 am to 7 pm.
Members and residents of Pavia and its neighboring towns and districts need not travel far to Iloilo City for their PhilHealth concerns.
The new office accepts transactions for member registration and enrollment, member data amendment, request for documents, benefits inquiries and assistance and collection and Electronic Premium Remittance System (EPRS) inquiries.
The opening of the Satellite Office was graced by PhilHealth officers Dr. Dennis S. Mas, Senior Vice President for Management Services Sector, Nadine Navarro, Acting Senior Manager for Corporate Marketing, and Janet A. Monteverde, Acting Regional Vice President of PhilHealth-6.
In his message, Mas said that "the establishment of another PhilHealth Satellite Office is part of the implementation of the Universal Health Care (UHC) law which has recently taken effect. Under the UHC, each district should have a PhilHealth Office. This step will enable PhilHealth to better serve its members".
Hon. Michael B. Gorriceta, Representative of the 2nd District of Iloilo and Hon. Laurence Anthony G. Gorriceta, Mayor of Pavia also graced the event and both expressed gratitude for bringing PhilHealth to their municipality and district.
In response, Monteverde said that "PhilHealth is truly thankful for the support of the Local Government Unit of Pavia, the office of the 2nd District House of Representatives and Robinsons Land Corporation in bringing PhilHealth closer to the people a success." She assured that PhilHealth will keep its commitment of providing financial risk protection and accessible healthcare services to the people.
The opening of the new PhilHealth Satellite Office began with a blessing and ribbon-cutting led by PhilHealth officers with Cong. Michael Gorriceta and Robinsons Land Corporation Regional Operations Manager Kristin September Hortelano. It was followed by a short program with ceremonial Member Data Record (MDR) and PhilHealth ID printing for an attending PhilHealth member. (PRO6-Public Affairs Unit/KNAlkonga)
