PhilHealth Registration Checker

How to register with PhilHealth

PhilHealth is the national health insurance program covering hospital and medical expenses for Filipinos. Under the Universal Health Care law, all Filipinos are automatically eligible, but you still register to get your PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) and a member record. Registration is free and done through the online Member Portal. This checker shows the requirements and steps for your membership category.

Membership categories

• Employed — contributions are shared with your employer and salary-deducted.
• Self-earning / voluntary — you pay the full contribution based on declared income.
• OFW — covered as migrant workers; can register and pay from abroad.
• Indigent / sponsored — contributions paid by the government.

Why your PIN matters

Your PIN links you to your contribution record and benefit eligibility. When you're hospitalized, PhilHealth deductions are applied automatically if your membership is active and your contributions are up to date. Keep a single PIN — duplicates can split your records.

FAQ

Is registration free?

Yes. Registering and getting a PIN cost nothing; you only pay your contributions, and indigent or sponsored members don't even pay those.

I had PhilHealth through a past employer — do I re-register?

No. You keep the same PIN. If you've left employment, update your status to voluntary/self-earning and continue contributions to stay covered.

How are benefits affected by missed contributions?

Active membership and sufficient qualifying contributions are generally needed for full benefits. Keeping payments current ensures coverage when you need it.
