CSU EMPLOYEES NOW COVERED BY HMO MEDICAL PACKAGE

Cagayan State University (CSU), led by University President Dr. Arthur G. Ibañez, has officially released the medical allowance for all qualified permanent, casual, and temporary employees.

As part of its implementation, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was formally signed between the university associations and Kaiser International Health Group Inc.

Through this partnership, CSU secured a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) benefit package from Kaiser International, providing a maximum benefit limit of ₱75,000 per illness, including coverage for pre-existing conditions.

The package also includes annual physical examinations, in-patient and out-patient services, emergency care, and dental care, accessible through Kaiser-accredited facilities nationwide, including major hospitals in Metro Manila. The benefits are valid for one year, from June 2, 2025, to June 1, 2026.

CSU is the first government agency in the region to release a medical allowance following DBM Budget Circular No. 06, s. 2024, and to issue internal guidelines aligned with Section 7 of Executive Order No. 64, s. 2024.

The university expressed its gratitude to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. for enabling this grant, which will enhance the health and well-being of CSU’s workforce.

The initiative was made possible through the collaborative efforts of CSU’s faculty and administrative personnel associations, together with the Technical Working Group. Signing on behalf of the university were UFA President Prof. Ricardo B. Casuay, and APA President Ms. Monaliza B. Guzman, while Dr. Leah Uy-Yulo, President and Medical Director, represented Kaiser International Health Group Inc.
