CEBU CITY, Jan. 7 (PIA) -- The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) extends the payment deadline of individually-paying members (IPM) for the fourth quarter of 2011 on Mar. 21, 2011, especially in Sendong-affected areas in the country.
In a press release, PhilHealth gives a three-month extension to give consideration to IPMs residing therein.
Voluntary and self-employed IPMs generally pay on a quarterly basis. Premiums must be paid on or before the last working day of each calendar quarter, so that payment deadline for Oct. to Dec. 2011 should have been in by Dec. 29.
However, Presidential Proclamation No. 303 placed Regions 7, 9, 10, 11 and Caraga under state of calamity due to severe damage caused by Sendong. PhilHealth extended the payment deadline in these regions as a way of helping its members cope with crisis.
Overseas Filipino workers (OFW) and KaSAPI members residing in these regions are also given similar consideration.
