Benefit Availment
In hospitals with installed HCI Portal, Senior Citizens only
need to present their senior citizen card, MDR or any
accepted proof of identity and age. The Hospital shall print a
PhilHealth Benefit Eligibility Form (PBEF). A PBEF that says
“YES” means that the patient is entitled to the benefits and
shall serve as a basis for automatic deduction.
In case the hospital has no HCI portal installed, or the PBEF
says “NO”, or the senior citizen was not able to enroll before
discharge, the following should be attached to the usual claim
documents:
a. duly accomplished PhilHealth Member Registration Form
(PMRF); and
b. an acceptable proof of status as a senior citizen, including
but not limited to the Senior Citizens' Identification Card.
