LBC now PhilHealth-accredited

LBC now PhilHealth-accredited

THE LBC Express, Inc. is now ready to accept premium payments
from individually paying members (IPMs) of the Philippine
Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth), as well as from
employers in the government and private sectors.

Through Circular 35, s.-2010, the PhilHealth officially granted
accreditation to LBC primarily to make premium remittance more
convenient for employers and IPMs. PhilHealth President and
Chief Executive Officer Dr. Rey B. Aquino and LBC President
Santiago G. Araneta signed the Collection and Remittance Agreement
(CRA) in simple ceremonies at the PhilHealth Head Office
recently.

“This move spells added convenience for our members, because
they can now pay even beyond the close of business
hours. I understand there are LBC branches that are open up to six
in the evening on weekdays, and even during weekends, making
their services truly accessible for our members,” Mr. Aquino said,
adding that the only exception to the payment arrangement are LBC
branches located in SM Malls.

The LBC is a non-bank collecting agent. It is technologically
equipped and known for its courier and money remittance
services that are the safest, fastest and offers the lowest rates
in the country. The LBC is now the seventh non-bank facility accredited
by PhilHealth to cater to the premium remittance requirements
of its partner-employers and members all over the country.
When paying through the LBC Customer Associate, IPMs must
provide their complete names and PhilHealth Identification Numbers.
On the other hand, employers must provide their complete
business name and PhilHealth Employer Number. “They should
also indicate the period for which the payment is being made, the
amount of payment and the member type,” Mr. Aquino said. The
LBC will issue either the Payment Receipt or the Acknowledgement
Receipt printed on thermal paper, depending on the existing system
used by the branch through which payment is being made.

The LBC is known for its widest coverage and network. With
about 905 strategically located branches nationwide, it now provides
PhilHealth members with a multitude of payment locations to
choose from. Its primary objective is to link and bridge its customers
by providing innovations in terms of remittance services that
will respond to the growing needs of Filipino families and business
entities. Their objective is in accordance to PhilHealth’s commitment
to provide an efficient premium collection mechanism and to maintain an updated membership contribution database to ensure the viability, adequacy and
responsiveness of the National Health Insurance Program.

The complete list of LBC Express, Inc. branches and its locations
nationwide is available at www.philhealth.gov.ph. Interested
