What are the requirements for PhilHealth registration?
The standard requirements are: (1) Two accomplished copies of the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF); (2) One primary valid government-issued ID (such as PhilSys National ID, Passport, Driver's License, or UMID) or PSA Birth Certificate; and (3) Two recent 1x1 ID pictures with white background. Married female registrants should also bring their PSA Marriage Certificate.
How do I book a PhilHealth online appointment?
Visit the official PhilHealth Online Appointment System (appointment.philhealth.gov.ph). Select your Regional Office and nearest Local Health Insurance Office (LHIO), choose your transaction type, and select an open time slot. Note: Senior citizens, pregnant women, and PWDs are eligible for direct priority walk-in lanes and do not strictly require an advance booking.
What documents are required for a PhilHealth ID card?
To obtain the regular PhilHealth ID, you need: (1) Duly accomplished PMRF form; (2) Two recent 1x1 ID pictures with your name printed on the back; and (3) Two valid government IDs or PSA Birth Certificate. The regular paper PhilHealth ID is completely free and issued on the same day at LHIO branches.
How much is the PhilHealth monthly contribution in 2026?
Under the Universal Health Care Act (Republic Act 11223), the PhilHealth contribution rate is 5.0% of the Monthly Basic Salary (MBS), with an income floor of ₱10,000 (minimum ₱500/month) and a ceiling of ₱100,000 (maximum ₱5,000/month). For formally employed workers, this is split 50/50 between employee (2.5%) and employer (2.5%). Senior citizens and indigents are 100% government subsidized.
Where can I access or download my Member Data Record (MDR)?
Log in to the PhilHealth Member Inquiry Portal (memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph/member/) using your 12-digit PIN and password. Go to your member profile and click "Print / Download MDR" to generate an official PDF copy showing your active status and registered dependents.
Is PhilHealth registration and paper ID card free?
Yes! Initial registration, PIN generation, and the standard laminated paper PhilHealth ID card are 100% free of charge at all official PhilHealth LHIO branches and PhilHealth Express kiosks. Be cautious of scammers charging unauthorized processing fees.
How do I update my PhilHealth information or declared dependents?
To update your records (such as civil status, correction of misspelled name, or adding new newborn dependents), fill out a PMRF form and mark the checkbox "For Amendment". Attach supporting documents (PSA Marriage Certificate for change of surname, or PSA Birth Certificate for child dependent) and submit to the nearest LHIO branch or via the Member Portal.
