How to become a Member of Philhealth? – Requirements and Steps to Register

by

Do you wanna be a member of Philhealth and want you and your beneficiaries avail of the benefits? Know the steps and requirements here either if you are currently unemployed, employed, or an OFW.

Philhealth is the leading health insurance company in the Philippines and it is administered by the government so many Filipinos rely on it so much. The monthly contribution is so affordable and it is the cheapest in the country so being an active member of Philhealth help so much.

Philhealth Requirements for Unemployed Members (Individually Paying Member)

If you are currently unemployed or either self-employed, you can register as an Individually Paying Member. This is also being referred as “voluntary member” by some. To become one, you must submit the following requirements at the Philhealth office near you. If you are a foreigner living in the Philippines, you can also become a member classified under this type.

  • PMRF (Philhealth Member Registration Form) – Accomplished and properly filled out. This form can also be downloaded online for free
  • Photocopy of NSO authenticated Birth Certificate or valid IDs or any supporting documents to prove identity
  • Photocopy of supporting documents for your beneficiaries
  • Photocopy of Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) issued by the Bureau of Immigration (for foreigners only)

You will then be given and issued your Philhealth Number and will be asked to pay your contributions. Keep your PN because this will be used for life. Make sure you will be paying your premiums continuously to ensure you can avail benefits any time.

Requirements for Employed Members

The requirements for employed members are the same as listed above for Individually Paying Member. Just include your employed status in the PMRF.

Philhealth Requirements for OFW

For OFW (Overseas Filipino Workers), you can register and pay your contributions once you register at the POEA as OFW. Requirements are:

  • PMRF
  • Supporting documents of beneficiaries
  • Any proof of being an active OFW

If you already are a member of Philhealth, you can just pay your contributions and update your status as OFW.

If you are outside the Philippines and wants to become a member of Philhealth, you can just submit the following requirements to any Philhalth office:

  • PMRF
  • Philhealth Premium Payment Slip (PPPS)
  • Photocopy of acceptable valid IDs
  • Pay your contributions to accredited collecting agents of Philhealth abroad

Sponsored Members of Philhealth

Philhealth Members Sponsored by LGUs, National Government, congress and Indigents belonging to the lowest 25% of the Philippine population can become Sponsored Members by submitting the usual requirements to their sponsors or at Philhealth office

Philhealth Online Registration is also now serving to cater everyone who wants to register online instead of going to the office or branch.

For transactions and personal questions, go to your Philhealth branch and inquire about it. For comments and forum discussions, feel free to leave them below.

  7. Hello,

    I already accomplished my Philhealth by visiting one of their branches, I filled up the form, waited for few minutes, and I received a letter with my lifetime PIN (Philhealth Identification Number) upon accomplishment..

    however, my soon-to-be company is requiring me to accomplish a “Signed Philhealth Member Registration Form” , “Two photocopies of Philhealth ID or MDR” but I don’t have any idea how to get that ID or MDR, note that I was already issued a PIN from one of the branches.

    Do I need to register online and update my status? Thanks in advance! Any help would be appreciated.

    • same problem here. I am a newly hired employee and my agency wants me to submit MDR. Can i have MDR even if i didnt have any payments yet since i am a new member. i have my PIN already secured from online registration. enough na po ba yung PIN lng isubmit sa agency or MDR tlga kaso nga po new member pa lng po ako. Galing na po ako philhealth office sbi e mgbayad daw ako 600 for me to have an MDR. Ako po ba dpat gumawa nun or yung agency na. please enlighten me about this since the agency is expecting me to submit it on monday. Your response will be highly appreciated po. Thanks in advance

      • Since you are not yet active member, you won’t be able to have premiums recorded on your account thus no MDR. Tell your agency that you are only about to start paying premiums through your employment with them.

  8. ask ko lang po how many days bago mareceive ang email for confirmation after mag register online sa philhealth. mas matagal po ba ma receive if weekend nag register?

  12. Hi,

    Just want to ask po.

    I am already a philhealth member since 2010. Now, I registered online thinking that it was like SSS that i have to create an online account to view my contributions or update my details etc. But I was surprised when I received their email advising me to wait for their reply to know my PIN. And wala pa din palang application ang Philhealth for viewing contributions. So, I immediately sent an email to the address they provided as contact and i inquire and told them to Cancel my online registration to avoid me having 2 different PINs. I think the law prohibits having multiple PINs?

    sa ngaun wala pa pong reply from philhealth. But i am hoping na makita nila ung records ko at hindi na i allow ung online registration that i made. I dont want to encounter conflicts in the future. Hay. It is so stressful.. XD i should have researched if philhealth already has that application before goiing on their website. lesson learned. Hope you can share what you know about this instance. Im worried. :/

    Thank you so much.

    • I suggest you go to Philhealth office and verify if the registration you did went through. If it did, request to cancel it and just use your old PIN

    • I suggest you go to Philhelath and update your account as senior citizens are now automatically covered to Philhealth benefits. If you won’t update your account, Philhealth won’t know you’re a senior.

        • There is no fee when you register in Philhealth. The 600 you mentioned could be the premiums they paid (ex: 3 months premium =600) Philhealth is insurance and insurance requires periodic premium payments

    • There is now a new law granting automatic Philhelath membership to all senior citizens. Your mom is 60, she will be automatically covered. You must help her go to Philhelath and update her membership for the new law for senior citizens. Cheers!

      • (1) Does “automatic coverage for seniors” mean they don’t have to pay premiums, and get benefits right away ?
        (2) Since its automatic, what documents are required ?
        (3) Is the senior required to come in person, or a proxy, or is online registration ok ?
        Thanks for your info.

        • All she has to do is go to the Office if the Senior Citizen in your municipal’s office, all the forms she needs to fill up are there

        • Philhealth card is just a card. What matter is your parent is paying her Philhealth monthly premiums. If she is, then she can always avail benefits. For 18 and above, you can already register for your own Philhealth account, if you’re employed, submit your Philhealth number to your employer, if not employed, register as Individual Paying member (voluntary)

    • Yes, NSO BC and valid ID are the basic requirements for first-time applicants. Bring 2 valid IDs para if ever di pwede yung 1, you still have another one to show them

    • If you want to become voluntary member, update your status as Individual Paying Member and submit PMRF form, attach your beneficiaries NSO Birth certificate

  74. knina p po kmi ng aantay ng transaction no.bat wla nmn po aqng nare2siv,,urgently need q po kc,,

    Tanong ko lang po.
    My dad used to be a member but his contributions stopped for four years now.
    Now he’s confined and hindi magamit yung PhilHealth nya coz di na xa active.
    If in case i.update nya again ang membership nya, is it possible na pwede nya mapa.reimburse ang nabayaran nya sa pagka confine nya ngayon?
    And if yes, mga ilang months po bago makuha nya ang reimbursement?
    Thanks po! 🙂

    • If the member is not active, he/she cannot is not eligible for benefits. Philhealth is an insurance company, if you are not insured (active), you cannot get benefits

  77. I’m a philhealth member but my previous employer did not remit my payments.. Now, i would like to update my contributions as individual member.. What should I do?

    • Upate your new status as Individual Paying Member (voluntary) by filing PMRF form at Philhealth, then pay contributions

    • Just verify your Philhealth number and update your membership as Individual Paying member if you want to resume your Philhealth conributions

  84. Hello, i would want to register to PhilHealth but i don’t have any ID’s yet, even school ID, will i be able to register with just my Birth Certificate?
    thanks a lot. =)

    • If you’re not minor anymore yes, you can register as Individual Paying member. Use your supporting documents (Postal ID, NBI clearance, etc.), I think they accept them for anyone who doesn’t have IDs

  85. Good day po!
    OK lang po ba na NSO BC at postal id lang ang dalhin ko pag mag aaply as voluntary sa philhealth?
    Thanks po sa reply in advance 🙂

  88. If a married woman with one child joins philhealh online. Does she have to attach with her online application, copies of their 3 birth certificates AND the marriage license? Thanks

    • Yes, because you are listing them as dependents / beneficiaries. If you won’t list them, then don’t submit their BC

  89. I sent a phil health application online. And received a successfully saved reply. But its been 30 minutes and no confirmation received in the email. Thanks

  92. Goodevening maam. Ask ko lang po kung ok lang po ba kung live birth (not NSO) at BIR ID lang po para makaapply nang PhilHealth?

    • BIR ID is not an acceptable ID. Submit SSS, GSIS, Driver’s license, passport or any other government ID. They require NSO authenticated but you can try

  93. Maam member po ako ng philheath tapos yong anak ko turn 22 last may ano po dapat gawin para maging member yong anak ko? At kailan cya pwede magamit? Thanks

    • If your son is working, he’ll become a member of Philhealth then coz it’s mandatory. If he’s not working, he can register as Individual Paying Memeber

  94. THANK U po sa reply…may question pa po me,,. blones po ang nasa id ko kc nga po married ako dun, pero ang ginamit ko sa pag anak ko ngaun sa ospital ay surname ko nung dalaga.which is liwag, at un ang nakalagay sa BC pero de leon po ang surname ng anak ko ngaun na ilalagay as my dependent.panu po un?

    • yes you can add your child as dependent if it is really yours. Submit supporting docs like NSO Birth Certificate of the child

  96. HI, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF A MEMBER WHO JUST RECENTLY JOINED(2 MONTHS) PHILHEALTH CAN AVAIL OF THE ISURANCE BENEFIT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD ONLY KICK IN AFTER 3 MONTHS OF PAYING THE PREMIUM. WHAT IF THE MEMBER HAS BEEN HOSPTILIZED ONLY AFTER 2 MONTHS OF BEING A MEMBER. IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION ON THIS EGARD? WILL APPRECIATE YOU RESPONSE.

    THANK YOU.

    • I suggest you first fix the name in the Birth Certificate of your child coz everything will base from the BC including schools, passport, etc..

  101. Hello po! Kung now pa lang po ako magpapamember sa Philhealth, magagamit ko na po ba agad yun mga benefits nun sa August? Pwede po ba ko magbayad ng April – June 2014 na payment ngayong buwan? Thanks Ma’am!

        ano po ang steps ? , madali nalang po ba kung card nalang ang kukunin ?
        because i registered OL . may kailangan pa bang fill up’an?

        • The ID Card is applied personally at Philhealth. I wonder why you need it though coz Philhealth Number is what you need when you pay your contributions.

  102. Hi ma’am/sir ask q LNG poh if mag member poh this year maggamit din poh b now agad, mag advance poh aq ng hulog

    • YOu can use the benefits if you are an active member and meet the requirements when availing for a specific stuff

What are the steps to change my status to individually paying member? I don’t have May 2014 contribution can I pay this as individual member to be able to avail Philhealth discount now? Thanks!

    • You can still pay the month of May this June. It’s not yet considered late. If you want to switch into Individual Paying Member, go to Philhealtha nd file PMRF and update your new status as Individual Paying member or voluntary member

  106. pwd po ba khit hindi nso ung marriage certificate? certified true copy lang po, pero my nso birth certicate po ako, then ung sa baby ko naman ung original lang po galing hospital, ask ko lang po kung qualified po ung MC khit hindi nso at ung BC ng baby ko? gusto ko po kc mag apply as self employed, plz reply, TNX

  107. I already have the PIN received from Philhealth online and the PDF of MDR. So how can I get my ID? from cebu

  109. Hi, I would just like to ask, I’ve been a contributing member for almost 9 years. I have recently stopped working and decided to be a stay at home mom. I would still like to continue my membership/ contribution and would like to know how to do so? Also I dont know if I already have a number since the company that I have worked for are the ones who automatically takes care of the contributions.

    • You must go to Philhealtha nd bring your Valid ID to verify your Number. Then fill up your PMRF form to resume your membership.

  110. Tanong lang po nakaka dlwang beses npo akong nag register sa philhealth pero wla prin akong number or yung dpat na i papa print q. Pano q to maaayos ?

    • Oh no that would cause some errors and double registration. Please go to the Philhealth office and have your PIN personally to avoid major problems in the future

      • Hi, tanong q lang po, dati po nagwork po aq alam q napagawa aq ng company ng philhealth parang may i.d pa nga po aq pero d ko na po matandaan,pano po un mag apply po ba aq ng bago or hindi na po d ko na po kasi alam ung pin ng philhealth q kuna activate pa rin o hindi na po, buntis po kasi aq balak q po cianh gamitin sa panganganak ko pano po kaya un? Tnx pl

        • You don’t need to apply for a new PIN if you had one before. You only need to verify it at Philhealth if you want to resume your monthly premiums

  111. Hi poh, ask koh lng po sana pano po yun kung wla akong narecieve na confirmation sa email koh? nag register po kasi akoh online at d koh din alam kung member nb ako o hndi. just in case na wla po tlgang email pde pdn po ba koh kumuha ng philhealth personally? san po ba ung pinaka malapit na branch ng philhealth? from bulacan po ako. hope to hear from you asap po. thanks!

  112. hello po tnong q lng po qng mybbyaran po b pg mgpapamember, at paano po mkakakuha ng id? thanks.

    • There is no fee in registration as a member in Philhealth. The money you will pay will be your monthly premiums.

  113. Hello i was a member since 2006 until 2012 employed po aq that time so my contribution po aq tapos 2012 january di na po aq nag hulog pwede ko po ba ituloy this month ung philhealth q and ano po requirments if employed i transfer q po sa self employed and magkano po kaya babayaran q ?

    • Yes, it is advisable you resume it to become active and to be eligible to benefits. Just fill out PMRF to update your new membership status as self-employed or individual paying member if you are voluntary member. I know right now the minimum contribution is P150 per month

  115. Hi just wanna ask. what if member napo nang Philhealth tapos na stop na ang pag pay premium contribution for 6 years na but planning to pay 12 months of premium contribution this month, can I avail the benefits if in case need magpa-hospitalized this month? (huwag naman po sana hehe) Thanks!

    • It depends with the type of availment. In order to make sure you will receive benefits, stay active and pay continuously

  117. Mam nung march 11 pa po ako ngregister, successful naman daw pero ndi ko pa rin nakukuha number ko, ano po ba pwede ko gawin?

  118. nagregister po ako thru online..panu po ba makuha ung philhealth number?need k na kc asap kht philhealth number lng

    • Just bring the mentioned requirements in the article and fill up a form called PMRF to register as Individual Paying Member, then start paying your contributions. If you’re working, just update your membership into EMPLOYED

      • Ask q lng po my id n po me ng philhealth kzo po d q n po nhuhulugan ng 8 yrs…pwd q p po b e2loy un kht wl po me work..mgself employed n lng po me?

        • Yes, you can update your membership as Self-employed not-professional under the Individually Paying Member type or Household if applicable

  123. Hi 🙂 Gusto ko lang po tanungin kung okay lang ba if to be followed na ang supporting documents for the beneficiaries? Kasi nasa malayo sila at wala akong supporting documents nila. Thank you po 🙂

  124. pwede pa po ba mag member ang 59 years old na pero single po sya..hanggang ilang taon po ang pwede pa magpamember sa philhealth??? thank you …

    • For retirees or old age who did not meet the required 120 months for Lifetime Members, you can apply as Individually Paying Member instead. You can also apply as Individually Paying Member if you are not a dependent of a Philhealth member. In your case, pwede po kayo as IPM

  125. 1 question pa po sana… kung meron na pong philhealt yung husband q,, pwedi pa din bang mag apply aq ng sakin?? thanks po…

  126. yung husband ko member na ng philhealt since 1999… nagamit din nmin yung philhealt niya nung ma admit sa hospital anak namin… pero nung 2008 nagresign na xa sa work nia hindi na namin yun nahulugan… pwedi pa ba naming ituloy yun dati niang number or nid niang mag apply ulit ng new..??

    • Yup it is important and advisable na ituloy kasi you need to be an active member to be eligible for Philhealth benefits. Tulad din ng SSS yan. Pag di ka active, di ka eligible sa benefits. You dont need to apply for new Philhealth number. Just use your old Philhealth number and update your membership by filling out PMRF form. Tick the box “for updating” purpose. You can download the form here: http://www.philhealth.gov.ph/downloads/membership/pmrf_revised.pdf and submit to Philhealth. Bring your valid IDs

  127. i have a dual citizenship..i’ll be retiring in the phils. next year ,am i qualified to apply for philhealth ?

  128. nagregister po ako last january 27,2014 morning sa online registration ng Philhealth. Wala po akong natanggap na confirmation message. hindi ko po tuloy alam ung Philhealth number o naregister po ba talaga ako. pero ang sabi pagkatapos ko magregister may nakalagay sa website page na “MEMBER INFORMATION SUCCESSFULLY SAVED”. ANO PO BA ANG DAPAT KUNG MABISANG GAWIN?

  131. during hon.gloria m. arroyo as president i received an id of philhealth 2 times is it valid if i continue? i mean i will pay the necessary contribution .

    • Oh wow 2 IDs? You must go to Philhealth and tell them so you can have one real number for your membership to avoid possible errors in the future

      • magkano babayaran for memebership, kasi sabi nila P600 daw para isang quarter, e wala pang trabaho ako, pwede bang 1 month lang bayaran

  134. Normally I don’t learn post on blogs, however I wish to say that this write-up very pressured me to try and do it! Your writing taste has been surprised me. Thanks, quite nice article.

  135. good day!
    i just want to ask, kakamember ko lang po kahapon and i was shocked of the super fast process…i brought my nso birth cert and id pa naman because i thought it will be needed. but i just filled out a piece of paper my just my name, birthdate & place, address, and civil status…i just gave it to a personnel, she input the data in the computer, printed out a paper that wrote i’m now a member and has a PN already…it only took 2mins i guess…
    so my question is, how will i process my parents as my dependants and i was planning to pay already for this whole year…can you give me an insight about this…i deeply appreciate your time and effort reading this ang hoping for a reply…
    thank you very much.

  136. Thank you for every other excellent post. Where else may anyone get that type of info in such an ideal method of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.
