According to local GSIS President Winston Garcia, GSIS is offering public servants the rare opportunity of insuring their family members for up to P5 million through the Enhanced Personal Accident Insurance.
Under this enhanced insurance program, the active GSIS member and any of his or her insured relative who incur medical expenses as a result of an accident will be reimbursed of their medical costs. Also offered are bereavement and death or disability assistance ranging from P50,000 to P5 million, depending on the premium the GSIS member has chosen to avail of.
GSIS members need only to pay a one-time annual payment for a minimum of P52.50 in order to be covered and this is renewable each year, says Garcia.
Non-GSIS members who are qualified to sign up for the personal accident insurance are the active GSIS member's legitimate spouse, parents not more than 70 years old and legitimate children not less than seven years old.
