In collaboration with PhilHealth, Cagayan State University (CSU) is set to register approximately 2,600 students from Cagayan State University - Andrews Campus, aged 21 and above, as PhilHealth members.
According to PhilHealth, CSU students who have been assessed as financially incapable will be enrolled as indirect contributors, exempt from paying monthly contributions until they graduate. The PhilHealth membership registration will also be expanded to include students from other CSU campuses.
As part of this initiative, the students will be enrolled in PhilHealth's Konsultasyong Sulit Tama (Konsulta) Program after their membership registration, providing them with essential outpatient benefits such as consultations, screenings, diagnostic tests, and selected medications.
The Konsulta Program, mandated under the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law, ensures that all Filipinos have access to quality and affordable healthcare services while protecting them from financial risks associated with medical treatments.
Meanwhile, a Konsulta Caravan is being held today, October 17, 2024, at the CSU Hotel, in collaboration with the Cagayan Valley Medical Center (CVMC) and PhilHealth. The event provides free consultations, health risk screenings, and assessments for the university's teaching and non-teaching personnel, with 10 medical doctors on site.
