Nilinaw ng Department of Health (DOH) na hindi required ang Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) Identification Number (PIN) para makapagpa-register para sa COVID-19 vaccination.
Naglabas ng pahayag ang DOH kaugnay ng social media post ng health insurer kung saan pinaalalahanan ang mga miyembro na nais magpabakuna na tandaan ang kanilang PIN para maka-avail ng PhilHealth benefits.
Pahayag ng DOH, “The Department of Health (DOH) clarifies that PIN is not a requirement to register for and receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and is only required when claiming PhilHealth benefits in cases of adverse events following immunization (AEFI).”
Saad pa ng DOH, “To ensure Philhealth coverage of Filipinos who are not yet registered to Philhealth in cases of AEFI that need hospitalization, the government will set up registration booths at official vaccination sites to facilitate onsite PhilHealth registration.”
Ayon din sa DOH, sa ilalim ng Universal Health Care (UHC) Law, ang lahat ng Pilipino, “whether direct or indirect contributors” pati ang mga dependents ng contributors, indigent members, senior citizens at persons with disabilities ay “automatic members of PhilHealth.”
