PhilHealth Registration

The Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) had amended the RA 7875, which is now known as the National Health Insurance Act of 2013. 

The amendments include that every Filipino is required to be a member of PhilHealth. Additionally, subsidy from the government will be given to those who are identified by the Department of Social Welfare and Developmnt as indigenous groups.

PhilHealth membership among employees is mandatory, including household-helpers. For newly hired employees, follow the succeeding instructions in order to acquire your PhilHealth Numbers (PIN).

3.    For those who have dependents, it is advisable that you bring and submit NSO birth certificate of your dependents.
