THE Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has become the first government non-uniformed agency to be accredited as a Konsulta Package Provider (KPP) in the National Capital Region, partnering with the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) to promote social health insurance.
MMDA chairman Romando Artes expressed gratitude for the recognition and for allowing the agency to launch a program benefiting MMDA employees and their dependents.
“We are committed to support and promote the social health insurance and PhilHealth’s program for the benefit of the Filipino people, particularly in information dissemination,” Artes said.
Under the agreement, MMDA will display PhilHealth information materials in their digital and non-digital advertising platforms to provide timely information on PhilHealth services and healthcare benefits to its members.
PhilHealth president and chief executive officer Emmanuel Ledesma Jr. recognized MMDA for being the first government non-uniformed agency to be accredited as KPP in the NCR, and committing to provide its dedicated personnel with a primary care benefit package, including health profiling, consultations, diagnostic and laboratory tests, and medicines for certain medical conditions.
“Through our renewed alliance, we aim to enhance access to quality healthcare services for all, especially in the dynamic landscape of the National Capital Region. By synergizing our efforts, we can better address our communities’ evolving healthcare needs and contribute to our nation’s overall health and resilience,” Ledesma said.
The state health insurer pledged to prioritize orientation seminars and other information dissemination activities for MMDA employees and beneficiaries during special events.
