(NAR) VOL. 20 NO.2 / APRIL - JUNE 2009

[ PHIC PHILHEALTH CIRCULAR NO. 24, S. 2009, June 04, 2009 ]

RE-NAMING THE NON-PAYING PROGRAM AS LIFETIME MEMBER PROGRAM



Pursuant to PhilHealth Board Resolution No. 1145 s. 2008, the Non-Paying Program (NPP) is being renamed as Lifetime Member Program.

The Non-Paying Program is one of the major membership categories of PhilHealth dedicated to the provision of lifetime health insurance coverage to retirees and pensioners who are at least 60 years old and have made 120 monthly contributions to PhilHealth or Medicare. While the NPP comprises only a small percentage of the entire PhilHealth membership base, the program illustrates the reverence and gratitude that PhilHealth bestows to Filipinos who have devotedly contributed to the program during their active years as part of the Philippine working population.

There is a need to underscore the privileges granted to members under this program to ensure that their privileges are pronounced under a more appropriate name for the program, thus the Board resolved to rename the Non-Paying Program as Lifetime Member Program.

All communication materials pertaining to this particular membership category shall be revised and updated to reflect the change.

All previous administrative issuances with provisions inconsistent herewith are hereby amended accordingly.

This circular shall take effect immediately.

Adopted: 04 June 2009
