The new Philhealth contribution table 2025 is set to follow the Universal Health Care Law (Republic Act 11223). All premiums are expected to follow the 5% premium rate for 2025.
Members can now pay using the new Philhealth premiums contribution schedule in the National Health Insurance Program. All Direct Contributors are advised that the premium rate for calendar year 2025 is 5% with an income floor of P10,000 and an income ceiling of P100,000.
If premiums payment will be made now, the 5% computation will apply in accordance to the law. If ever a suspension is declared by Malacañang, any excess amount paid by the member will cause adjustments to future contribution payments.
If you’re employed with a salary of P10,000, your monthly contribution will be P500 but you will only pay half of your contributions (P250) since your employer is required to shoulder the other half.
The adjusted premium rate will eventually take effect in the Electronic Premium Remittance System (EPRS) and the Philhealth Member Portal. Members can also now pay thru GCash.
Being a member of Philhealth has many significant benefits to support medical and health insurance for every Filipino and their beneficiaries. Another year has passed, are you planning to pay your Philhealth premiums for the year 2025?

For this category and to ensure accuracy in computation, PhilHealth will require submission of proof of income such as the following documents:

However, if the Kasambahay is receiving P5,000 monthly salary or above, the Kasambahay shall pay his/her proportionate share or be deducted of their equal share in the monthly contribution.
In cases of employed Persons with Disability (PWDs) listed in the Department of Health’s PWD registry, their contributions shall be equally divided between their employers and the National Government for their personal share.
Health is wealth. Remember that in order to be eligible to benefits, we must always pay our premiums and avoid missing a month or months of unpaid contributions.
Philhealth always require active membership and payment of premiums in availing benefits. It is always important to know our benefits and the requirements even if we are not availing them.
We hope though these premium requirements will not increase as much as those private insurance companies. Nonetheless, they must also increase health benefits packages and coverage.
