THE Philippine Health Insurance Corporation has disabled access to all its systems, including its websites, Health Care Institutions, Member Portal and e-claims as part of the “information security containment measures” being implemented by the agency following the security breach detected last week.
“PhilHealth's Management assures the public that the incident is under control and that no personal information and medical information have been compromised or leaked,” it said. The agency said members and their qualified dependents will continually be entitled to the benefits of the National Health Insurance Program with the submission to accredited healthcare providers a photocopy of the member's PhilHealth Identification Card or Member Data Record or any identified acceptable supporting documents.
Philhealth advised healthcare facilities to continue the deduction of benefits and devise temporary arrangements with patients.
