Member Verification

How to Get Your PhilHealth MDR Online

The Member Data Record (MDR) is an official document containing your PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN), membership category, employer information, and declared dependents. Hospitals and employers require it to verify benefit eligibility.

1
Log In to the PhilHealth Member Portal

Visit memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph and enter your 12-digit PIN and password.

2
Navigate to Member Profile

On the top navigation bar, click on "Member Information" or "Profile Overview".

3
Click "Print / Download MDR"

Select the MDR option. The system will generate a PDF version with a PhilHealth barcode and watermark.

🔑 Forgot Your PhilHealth Number (PIN)?

Never register a second time if you forgot your PIN! Having duplicate PIN records causes severe delays during hospital claims. Here is how to recover it legitimately:

Method 1: Contact PhilHealth Action Center
Call Hotline (02) 8441-7442 or email actioncenter@philhealth.gov.ph with your full legal name, date of birth, and mother's maiden name.
Method 2: Check with Your Current/Past Employer
Your company HR or accounting department keeps your PIN on file in their EPRS contribution records.
Method 3: Visit Any Express Branch / LHIO
Present 1 valid government ID at the public assistance desk for immediate PIN lookup.
🔒
Privacy Alert: Do NOT post your full name and birthday in public Facebook comments or online forums asking strangers for PIN lookup. PhilHealth will never ask for your password.
