Tagbilaran City Mayor Jane Yap has announced the launch of the Tagbilaran City PhilHealth Sabado Mobile Services. The new service aims to bring PhilHealth services closer to the people by making them available at strategic locations in the city on a Saturday.
“We are bringing government services closer to the grassroots level,” said Mayor Yap. “One of my priorities is our health programs. That is why we will bring PhilHealth services to barangays, schools, and business establishments. Very soon, we will also be launching our digital services.”
The PhilHealth Sabado Mobile Services will be available every Saturday from 8am to 5pm. The mobile unit will be stationed at the Tagbilaran City Hall, but it will also be deployed to other locations in the city as needed.
“This is a great opportunity for those who work on weekdays to avail of PhilHealth services without having to be absent from work,” said Mayor Yap. “I encourage everyone to take advantage of this new service.”
The PhilHealth Sabado Mobile Services will offer a variety of services, including:
- Processing of applications for membership or registration
- Requests for correction or updating of member information
- Issuance of the Member Data Record (MDR) and PhilHealth ID
- Scheduled receipt of premium payments
