Based on the list of accredited doctors in the PhilHealth
Bicol regional office database, the Land Bank was requested to assign
a reserve account number in the branch nearest the doctor's residence
or hospital affiliation. The doctor will now receive a Letter of Introduction
(LOI) from PhilHealth, which he/she will present to the branch where his/her
account was assigned, to get the ATM card.
Newly-accredited doctors can write or call PhilHealth Bicol Regional Office
No. V (PROV) to identify where they want their account to be opened, Iñigo
said. Schedule for crediting is every 15th or 30th of the month. A payment
notice will be sent to the doctor detailing the amount credited, name
of patients, period of confinement and the exact date when the amount
was credited. The Auto Credit Payment Scheme is mandatory to all PhilHealth-accredited
doctors except salaried government doctors whose professional fees will
still be paid through the issuance of a check payable to the Chief of
Hospital.
In other developments, the PhilHealth Bicol regional office calls on all
employers in Bicol to remit on time and win special prizes in the "REACT
AGAD" Contest. Recently, the PROV Contribution and Data Management
Division launched the "REACT AGAD" Contest that seeks to encourage
all employers to enroll their employees in the National Health Insurance
Program and, by promptly remitting the latter's premium contributions
and submitting remittance reports, will qualify them for the promo.
All employers who remit on or before the 10th of the month and submit
their quarterly reports to the PhilHealth Bicol regional office or to
any PhilHealth Service Office regionwide not later than the 15th of the
month following the applicable quarter, bearing complete and proper information,
are entitled to raffle draw ticket/s. For total remitted amount of P150,999
and above for every quarter, employer will receive five raffle draw tickets.
For remitted amount of P100,000-P149,000, four raffle tickets; for P50,000-P99,999,
three raffle tickets; for P25,000-P49,999.99, two tickets; and for an
