QuestionsQuestions (PHIC PHILHEALTH CIRCULAR NO. 06)
The existing Contribution Payment Return (CPR) forms (ME-5, MI-5, and Min-5) were replaced by the unified accountable payment receipt called the PhilHealth Agent’s Receipt (PAR).
PPPS is a non-accountable form accomplished by members when paying PhilHealth premiums.
Yes. Paying members are required to properly accomplish the PPPS and supply specific information (PEN/PIN/POGN, payor name, member type, applicable period, and amount to be paid), submit it to the ACA, and then secure validated copies of the PAR.
They must provide: (1) PhilHealth Employer Number (PEN)/PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN)/PhilHealth Organized Group Number (POGN); (2) Payor name (complete member/business/agency name); (3) Member type (voluntary/OFW/sponsor/private/government); (4) Applicable period of premium contribution; and (5) Amount to be paid.
Paying members must submit the properly accomplished PPPS and premium payment to the ACA’s teller/cashier.
The ACA’s teller/cashier must validate the PAR using the information stated in the PPPS, then distribute the copies of the validated PAR according to the required color/number scheme.
The original copy (white) and the 4th copy (yellow) are returned to the paying member. The 2nd copy (pink) is filed by the ACA. The 3rd copy (green), together with the accomplished PPPS, is attached to the ACA’s Abstract of Daily Collection (RF-2).
For employers, the yellow copy is attached to the employer’s Remittance Report (RF-1). For individually paying members, the yellow copy is submitted directly to the nearest PhilHealth Members Assistance Center (PMAC).
PPPS is described as a non-accountable form. Procedurally, it is filled by the member for the transaction and then attached to the ACA’s records only indirectly (as part of documents supporting validation), while PAR is the accountable receipt issued by ACAs.
PhilHealth Regional Offices (PhROs) shall accept requests for PPPS and revised PAR from ACAs starting April 5, 2010.
PhROs monitor and ensure availability as needed by ACAs pursuant to PhilHealth Office Order No. 87, s. 2009.
They shall be acknowledged by an Electronic Receipt or an ACA’s payment slip, as approved by the Corporation, whichever is applicable.
ACAs are required to return remaining inventories of CPRs to the nearest PhROs starting July 1, 2010, and PhROs shall forward unused CPRs to the Office of the Group Vice President, Member Management Group for proper disposal.
The circular states that effective July 1, 2010, CPR forms (ME-5, MI-5, Min-5) are replaced by the unified accountable payment receipt PAR.
It was adopted on February 19, 2010 and signed by Dr. Rey B. Aquino, President and CEO.
