Philhealth Maternity Benefit Requirements for Voluntary Members

Updated June 1, 2016

Philhealth Maternity Benefit Requirements for Voluntary Members or Individually Paying Members and their Dependents

Submit the following documents to the hospital upon admission, or before your bill is computed.

Philhealth coverage should be deducted from your bill. You can no longer file for refund directly with Philhealth.

 

1.   Clear copy of your  Member Data Record (MDR) — Get this from Philhealth

If you are a dependent of your husband, and your name is not yet written as dependent in your husband’s MDR, your husband should update his MDR at any Philhealth branch. He brings his ID and your marriage certificate.

2.  Philhealth Claim Form 1 — You can also get this form from Philhealth or from the hospital or clinic.   Fill this up and sign.  This is how the form look likes:  https://sites.google.com/site/informationphilippines/philhealth/philhealth-claim-form-1

Submit 2 claim forms: one for you and one for your baby

3.   Clear copy of Official Receipt of Philhealth contribution payment 

Your receipt should show payment of at least 3 months within the last 6 months before admission. Month of admission is included in the 6-month counting.

Example 1: Your admission is June 2016. You should have paid for April May and June 2016, or any 3 months of these 6 months: January, February, March, April, May and June 2016.

Example 2:  Your admission is October 2016.  You should have paid for July August September 2016, or any 3 months of these 6 months: May, June, July, August, September, October 2016.

Example 3: Your admission is November 2016. You should have paid for July August September 2016, or any 3 months of these 6 months: June, July, August, September, October, November 2016.

5.  Official receipts of Prenatal Care Payments 

(Only for normal delivery)

You attach these ORs to your Philhealth papers to claim the prenatal care coverage worth 1,500 pesos. This benefit will be sent to you by Philhealth via postal mail. Submit at least 1,500 pesos worth of receipts. This is offered only for normal deliveries. Not offered for CS deliveries.

What prenatal care receipts are valid? There’s a list here:  http://www.healthphilippines.net/2011/11/philhealth-maternity-benefit-prenatal-care/

6.  Bring your Philhealth card or ID or any other ID, in case it is required to confirm your identity.

 

3.  How much is Philhealth maternity benefit?

 Normal Delivery:

6,500 pesos if maternity or lying-in clinic

(2,600 pesos for doctor and 3,900 pesos for clinic)

5,000 pesos if hospital

(2,000 pesos for doctor and 3,000 pesos for hospital)

The prenatal care benefit of 1,500 pesos is refunded by Philhealth only if you attach Official Receipts of Prenatal Care Payments.

Indicated Cesarean Section o CS:

  19,000 pesos —  7,600 pesos for doctor and 11,400 for hospital

(CS should be done in a hospital)

Remember: 

1.  The doctor and the hospital or lying-in or maternity clinic should both be Philhealth-accredited.

2.   There’s 1,750 pesos worth of Newborn Care Benefit — The pediatrician should be Philhealth-accredited. This benefit is offered for both Normal Delivery and CS.

  1. Hi arlene, sorry you can no longer pay for Jan to March because it’s now April. What you can pay is for Apr to Aug, and these months total only 5 months, not enough to reach the 9-month requirement. You can ask Philhealth if they are again offering the Individual Policy Contract — under this, you can qualify.

    Reply
    • Hi jei, yes, you need to pay April to May (pede na ring Apr to June) because you a have a long leave. Yes, you can still pay April to May or June. Even if your employer did not pay your Feb and Mar (because you were not on the payroll during these months), you can still avail because you will be able to pay 9 of the 12 months BEFORE your month of delivery.

    • Hi Maricel, does the certification from your previous employer have amounts, dates paid and OR numbers? If not, go back and ask for another certification that have amounts paid, dates paid and OR numbers. Then get your MDR from Philhealth. You will be eligible because you have paid at least 9 of the 12 months BEFORE May 2013 (9 months within May 2012 to Apr 2013.

    • Hi edmundo, if you pay as Individual Payor, you’re already late, you can no longer pay for past quarters. But if you pay as OFW, your wife can avail — it’s good I noticed that your IP address is in USA. You should pay as OFW there if you can find a remittance firm that accepts Philhealth premium payments. If not, your wife/family can pay here in your behalf as OFW with proof of you working overseas, such as copy of your work visa or job contract or company ID or at least 2 recent remittance receipts. Here’s additional info: Documents for Philhealth Membership as OFWs Payment could still be 1200 per year for OFWs, or could already be 150 x 12 = 1800 pesos, same as Individual Payors.
      For OFWs, the hospitalization date should be within the validity dates in the premium receipt.

    • Hi Marco, do you know your Philhealth no.? You can pay at Bayad Center or SM Business Center. Ask for the payment slip and fill it up, then pay at the counter. Keep your receipt. You can also pay at the nearest Philhealth branch with your ID; fill up the member registration data form so you can update your personal data.

      • do i need to get a certificate of contribution from my previous employer. kc nung galing ako sa philhealth sabi sa akin kuha daw muna ako ng certification and gave me a form PMRF i need to fill up daw. hindi naman ako bagong member. thanks.

        Reply
        • Hi marco, did you go there to get your MDR? I’m puzzled because they should give you your MDR after you show your ID. You only fill-up again the PMRF if you need to update or change some data. It’s the hospital that requires certification from your employer or premium receipts because hospitals want to make sure you are updated.

    • Hi lani, sorry, hindi. Ang requirement ay payment ng at least 9 months sa loob ng July 2012 to June 2013 (12 months bago manganak). Ang puede mo lang bayaran ngayon ay Apr to June 2013, so 3 months lang, not enough.

  8. Hi po… i just want to ask po certain questions regarding on my philhealth benefit. I resigned from my previous job last jan 21, 2013 po kasi buntis po ako. As of now I’m 30 weeks pregnant. My expected due date is on the last week of June 2013. I got married last Feb 2013.here are my questions:
    1. i wanted to pay for my Jan2013-March2013 premium voluntarily but I was unaware of the deadline for paying of premiums for voluntary members. Can I still pay for the 1st quarter of 2013? Is there a penalty for not paying it on time?
    2. I have not yet updated my status from single to married and from employed to voluntary member. Where can I update my membership?
    3. My husband is employed until now. Can we avail of his philhealth benefits me as his beneficiary? If so, can we avail of our philhealth benefits simultaneously when I give birth on june 2013?
    4. Is there a website where we can check our philhealth contributions?

    Please advise me on what I should do. thanks po.

    Reply
    • Hi myh, 1) Sorry you can no longer pay for the 1st quarter. Payment deadline for any quarter is the last day of the quarter. 2) You go to any Philhealth branch with your ID and marriage certificate (orig and xerox) and fill up the member registration form. 3) If you have not paid 9 of the past 12 months BEFORE June 2013, you should use your husband’s Philhealth. Ask him to update his Philhealth record with his ID, marriage cert. and a letter from you asking Philhealth to cancel your membership and to register you as dependent of your husband. You cannot be a dependent if you are an active member. You can use only one Philhealth membership — that of your husband or yours. 4) No online checking of contributions yet. Your husband needs to get his MDR from Philhealth

(And i also have a 3 month payment way back in 2010, June,july and August) My question is, Can i avail the maternity package of Philhealth?
    Thanks and God bless

    • Hi yeye, yes, you can avail. Oct to Dec 2012 is 3 months. Jan to June 2013 is 6 months. You have paid at least 9 of the 12 months BEFORE July 2013. God bless too

    • Hi Malou, yes, you are eligible for maternity benefit. You have paid at least 9 of the 12 months BEFORE May 2013. God bless too. Bring your prenatal ORs too , at least worth 1500 pesos, so Philhealth can give you a refund.

  11. hi.. concern ko lng bout dun sa hipag ko..nanganak sya sa isang lying inn…nkalagay sa labas na Philhealth accredited sya pero nung mgtnong na bout sa billing ang sabi hindi daw pede gamitin philhealth dahil ang policy daw ay kailangan atleast na ka 3times chek up sa kanila.. eh dun lang biglaan nadala kasi talagang emergency at lalabas na yung bata..gang ngayon hindi pa nakakalabas hipag ko ..pde b kmi mgreklamo at saan regarding with these?

    Reply
    • Hi myra, ang puede nio sigurong ireklamo ay yong hindi pinapalabas yong mag-ina. Pero yong paglagay ng lying-in ng Philhealth na sign sa labas nila ay okay naman dahil Philhealth accredited nga sila. There’s really a Philhealth rule about prenatal checkups before the 4th month for non-hospital facilities. Sabi mo kasi emergency kaya napapunta don at hindi nio na natanong kung magamit nio ba ang Philhealth o hindi. Kung tinanong nio ang Philhealth pagpasok nio at hindi sinabi yong about prenatal check-up rule, yon ang mali nila. You can ask help from your barangay or your munisipyo or the campaigning politicians — they should be able to help.

    • Hi charmelette, yes, you can avail. To avail as voluntary, pay 9 of the 12 months before NOVEMBER. So paid na ang 6 months mo, 3 months na lang. Pay May to July (3 months) or to Sep na lang para merong sobra. Ask others too.

  13. Magandang araw po! Tanong ko lang po.. Nanganak ako last January 8, 2013 sa isang lying-in, Phic accredited sila pero bakit ganun ndi daw nila ibabawas yung portion ng phic so binayaran ko yung buong bill ko. Pinagprovide pa rin nila ako ng PHIC requirements so after 3 to 4 months daw bago ko marefund yung phic claim ko. Ganun po ba talaga katagal un?? dba po pagPHIC accredited ang isang hospital/maternity clinic dapat ibawas yung phic portion?? Please advise.. 🙁

    Reply
    • Hi shella, yes, they should have deducted immediately your coverage. But some lying-ins do that because they need cash. I don’t know if you have the time or if you can take the stress of filing a complaint with Philhealth. Yes, it takes months before you get your refund. Wait for your benefit payment notice via registered mail from Philhealth.

    • Hi keilyn, para maka-avail, you should be able to pay 9 of the 12 months before July 2013 (July 2012 to June 2013). Ang puede mong mabayaran ngayon ay April to June — 3 months lang, kulang ka ng 6 months. Ask others too.

        • Hi maria, sori hindi ko masagot accurately. Pero wait for the benefit payment notice from Philhealth. Makikita mo sa notice kung magkano talaga ang binayaran ng Philhealth sa lying-in at sa hospital. Kung kulang ang dinededuct nila, you can ask for refund. Keep your bills, statements and ORs. Xerox also the notice for your copy.

      • Hi zhay, puede na ngayon ang 3 contributions para sa Individual Payor-Informal Sector, hindi na yong dating 9 months. Eligible ka kasi paid mo ang Jan to Mar at April ang delivery month mo. Liwanagin mo with your clinic kasi sa kanila ka magsa-submit ng documents; hindi na puede ang direct filing.

    plz tel me po what talaga mga need pa now that im individually paying member and a single mom

    Reply
    • Hi mary, you’re already voluntary, so you don’t need your claim form to be signed by your previous employer. Get your MDR form from Philhealth and your Philhealth ID, if they have, but if not, the MDR is enough. Requirements: Premium payment receipt plus certification showing payment of 9 of the past 12 months BEFORE July 2013, MDR, claim form 1, and your ID (Philhealth or valid ID).

    • Hi Rosalie, yes, you are eligible if your status is OFW, kasi your month of delivery (May) is within April 2013 to Mar 2014. Dapat, the receipt shows you are OFW and your MDR also shows you are OFW. If your status was not yet changed, show your OEC or OFW job contract or work visa to Philhealth to change your status to OFW.

    • Hi Chilyn, nasagot ko na ito under sa ibang article. Pero sige. Yes, you can use your husband’s Philhealth as long as he’s eligible (updated contributions). So that you qualify as dependent, you ask your husband to update his Philhealth records and register you as his dependent. He brings his IDs, and your letter, puedeng handwritten, asking Philhealth to cancel your membership and registering you as his dependent.

    • Hi Christine, you said you’re an ex-OFW, so you will pay as Voluntary. The payments they will accept this May are April to Oct — only 7 months, not enough for the requirement of paying 9 of the 12 months BEFORE month of delivery. You can ask Philhealth if they are offering the Individual Policy Contract so you can avail. Please ask others too about your case.

    • Hi kenken, it’s great that you understand the counting of months. And sorry you will lack 1 month because what I know is that they will no longer accept payments for the 1st quarter. You can ask Philhealth if they’re again offering the Individual Policy Contract so you can avail (they suspended this program in March 2013)

    • Hi shantal, paid ang Oct 2012 to Feb 2013? 5 months ito. Ang puede mong bayaran this June ay April to Aug — 5 months ito. So eligible ka. Kung kulang pa ang pera, bayaran mo lang ang April May and June = 450 pesos. Then next month, you pay 300 for July and August. Pakicheck ang counting ko para sure. Mag-count ka ng 12 months backward o pabalik from due mo na September. Dapat sa 12 months na yan, meron kang paid na 9 months. Please ask others para sure.

    • Hi VGAM, pay April to June asap (deadline is end of June), and then pay July to Dec later on (pay before deadlines). Sa Philhealth branch ka magbayad so you can update your data and get your MDR and ID kung available na.

    One thing pa po mam, pwde po ba sa Philhealth office nlng po humingi ng certification for paid premiums dun po sa mga nahulog sa account q nung nagwork pa po aq?
    Thank u po.

    • Hi Icon, yes, when you work again, you’ll be an active member again. You’ll use the same Philhealth number. Sorry I’m not sure if Philhealth is giving certificates of premium payments, (kasi sa dami ng members, they’re not encouraging requests like this) but they might if you give a valid reason why you can’t get this certification from your employer. Ang alam kong binibigay nila is certificate of eligibility kung makulit ang hospital sa documentary requirements sa pasyente.

  35. Hello po

    My sister is currently at 3rd month pregnant, wala po siyang philhealth, at wala ring trabaho, papaano po ba at magkano ang proseso para po ma avail nya ito sa pag papanganak nya. Malaking tulong po kasi talaga ito.

    sa mama ko naman po meron na po syang philhealth kaso mo huminto po sya ng pagbabayad mga dalawang taon na. paano at magkano po ba mag renew.. salamat

    • Hi Vhiely, if your sis gives birth in Dec, late na siya for Philhealth kasi dapat nakabayad ng 9 months BEFORE month of delivery. What you can pay this month are only Apr to Nov = 8 months. Pero kung January, puede pa. Payment deadline for every quarter is the last day of the quarter. If she can’t avail, there are maternity clinics that offer affordable delivery packages.

  42. hello po.

    good day!

    Inquire lang po ako,currently employed po ako and i was on a approved vacation leave because of fragile pregnancy po since january this year until present.

    makaka avail po ba ako ng maternity benefits if last contribution ng company ko is December 2012? This July na po ang date ng CS delivery ko.ano po mga requirements?

    thank you so much po.

    Reply
    • Hi Catherine, pay April to June 2013 asap as Voluntary (deadline June 29 or June 30 if payment center is open on the 30th). I think you will file as Voluntary because you’re on leave, so your employer cannot pay your Philhealth. You can’t file as Employed because the requirement is payment of 3 of the 6 months BEFORE delivery. For Voluntary: payment of 9 of the 12 months BEFORE month of delivery.
      Get certification of premiums with OR nos. from your employer (July to Dec 2012 = 6 months); add to your voluntary payment Apr to June = 3 months, total 9 months.

    • Hi shiela, yong 2k puedeng para sa lying-in o sa OB. Ang assumption ko ay promo technique na lang nila yan (baka 10k ang package ng kakumpitensiya diyan sa area), kasi puede naman nilang sabihing 12k ang package para 6500 ang galing sa Philhealth at 5500 ang galing sa inyo. Eksaktong 12k ang total at hindi na magtataka pa ang pasyente.

    • Hi melanie, basta sure mo mo na makabayad ka as OFW pagdating dito bago ka manganak. Present proof of being OFW or get your OEC immediately. For OFWs, dapat ma-cover ang date of delivery within sa validity dates sa premium receipt. If you like, para sure, magbayad ka na lang diyan through IRemit or Skyfreight or Ventaja kasi puede namang you pay in advance ang Oct 2013 to Oct 2014.

  78. Good day! While reading the other comments, I found out that you should be able to pay 9 monthly premium contributions within the last 12mos before your maternity confinement. I had paid the premium contribution (as a private company worker) from February 2012 up to March 2013. When I resigned, I continued paying the premium contribution (as a self-employed member) from March until June 30 of this year. I wasn’t able to pay anything after that. So just to clarify, am I still eligible for the maternity benefits? I am due to give birth this September. Thanks a lot and will wait for your response 🙂

  89. hi po. mag 8 months pregnant na po ako this second week of october. almost 1 yr. ako sa dating kong work ko then nag resigned po ako last yr. dec. then nakapag work ulit by feb. 25, 2013 at nag resigned ulit april 15, 2013 kasi maselan ang pagbubuntis. Na stop po ang payment ko by april Hindi po ako aware sa terms and conditions ng philhealth na dapat mag pay ng 9 months within 12 months i thought maka avail po ako. there’s no chance na po ba to avail the maternity benefits kung bayaran ko ang ang may-oct.???

    • Sori jasmin, pero hindi na tatanggapin ang payments for May and June; yong July to Sep, baka hindi na rin, kasi ang deadline for every quarter is the last day of the quarter. Ask others too

    thank you

    • Hi ma victoria, yes, you’ll be eligible. Make sure na paid ang Jan to Sep 2013 (9 months). Ask a cert of premium payments with OR nos for 2012 from your employer. Ask others too para sure na sure

  91. REPOST: My question remained unaswered:
    Hi, I am an active philhealth member. My philhealth ID bears my married name. We have an ongoing annulment case. I am now pregnant by my new partner and due next year. Will I be able to use my philhealth benefits even if I use my maiden name in the hospital?

    Reply
    • Hi Nheng, nasagot ko na ito sa isang post. Anyway, if your IDs are in your married name and if your Philhealth record is in your married name, and then you use your maiden name in the hospital, the hospital cannot process your Philhealth claim because there’s a discrepancy in surname (unless you already have an annulment paper to support your change in surname). The IDs, Philhealth record and patient name should show the same names.
      What is usually acceptable is the reverse — when the IDs and Philhealth record are in maiden name and patient name is under married name (patient shows the marriage cert to support change in surname).
      This option can also be possible — if months ago, you have registered and paid Philhealth under your maiden name and you have IDs in your maiden name, then you can use these in the hospital.

  93. Hello=)! I’ll be giving birth this last week of Nov2013 in San Juan de Dios Hospital.. I’m just confused because I have asked few women who gave birth in that hospital and their Philhealth deductions in their hospital bills vary.. My question is, bakit po nangyayari na 3k lang ang nade-deduct sa hospital bill ng ilang patient imbes na 5k? meaning eh wala po na-less sa PF ng doctor, di po ba dapat na automatic Philhealth accredited din lahat ng OB ng isang Philhealth accredited hospital? please answer, I’m confused.

    Reply
    • Hi Lynn, not all OBs are Philhealth-accredited even if the hospital is accredited. Yes, sad to say, many OBs do not refund or do not deduct the 2k benefit; they get the 2k as additional to their PF (sabi ng ilan, kapalit daw ng time and effort nila to fill up the papers). They can do this because they can dictate their PF; example their original PF is 25k — they can just say their PF is 27k so they can refund the 2k to the patient, and in the end, it’s just the same, they got 25k.

    One thing more po, tama po ba un pagkakaintindi ko na ung Prenatal Care (P1500) at New Born Care (P1750) eh hindi po mababawas agad sa hospital bill pag na-discharge na ako? Bale po ipapadala na lang ng Philhealth ung cheque ng Prenatal at New Born Care via postal mail sa address ko po, tama po ba?

    Isa pa po pala, ung mga laboratory tests ko po na gagamitin ko to avail for the Prenatal care benefit eh ginawa sa isang diagnostic center lang at hindi po sa mismong hospital kung saan ako manganganak, okay lang po ba un?? I really hope to be enlightened,, thank you po, and GOD bless.

    Reply
    • Hi Lynn, about prenatal care refund, yes, submit the ORs along with your maternity claim and Philhealth will send you the check. Yes, even if prenatal care was done in another facility as long as the ORs bear your name. Newborn care can be immediately deducted or can be refunded depending on the hospital/pedia. You submit 2 sheets of claim form 1, one for maternity claim and the other for newborn.

I already resigned and will go back to Manila again to give birth and stay for good. My problem is, I was not able to continue my Philhealth contribution. How / What can I do to avail maternity benefits?

    • Hi Kath, pay your Philhealth while you’re still there in Singapore, so you can pay as OFW. But if you no longer have OFW papers, upon arriving here, go to Philhealth with your ID, update your record and check Informal Sector as your category, then pay Oct Nov and Dec so you can avail of maternity coverage.

Informal Sector requires only 3 contributions immediately before confinement.

    • Hi carla, if you paid for Jan to Mar 2014, you can use your Philhealth this April. Kung OB mo ang magde-decide na CS ka, Indicated yan, kasi siya naman ang mag-i-indicate at mag-de-decide na ma-CS ka, at siya ang magsusulat ng code ng Indicated CS sa claim form.

    • Hi rhose, yes, pay June to Nov or to Dec 2014, so you can qualify, whether your status is OFW or Individual Payor. If OFW, your delivery date should be within the validity dates in your premium receipt. If Individual Payor, pay at least 3 months of the 6 months prior to delivery.

    Reply
      • Hi Maam, Hope you could help me confirm whether I can avail philhealth maternity benefit or not..

        I have been employed for 5yrs from 2007- 2012. I have never made use of philhealth services. I ended contract with the company july 2012, and automatically, my payments to philhealth also stopped.

        Now I started paying my philhealth again APRIL of this year 2014….
        So far, I have paid April and advanced my payments til September. I plan to continue paying. My Estimated due date is a week before or after Dec 27..

        The question is, Since APRIL is exactly 9months from December including month of December in the counting, will I still qualify?? Im worried.. since it says on this site, 9mos prior the delivery month… other sites say 9mos from delivery month which may include the delivery month.

        My questions are:

        1) If I deliver in December will I qualify?
        2) If I deliver on January 1 will I qualify?
        3) I do not have a Philhealth ID but I have an MDR. Do I need to get an ID in order to avail?

        I do hope to hear from you soon..

        Thank you..

        Reply
        • Hi Chrissa, you will qualify whether you deliver in Dec or Jan, as long as you continue paying. The prior-9-month rule has changed. The no. of months has been reduced to 3 months. The new eligibility rule for Individual Payors is payment of 3 of the 6 months prior to delivery. But some hospitals are not yet updated with the new rule; they require payment of 6 months prior.

    • Hi Aiza, cert of premium payments is needed if the member is Employed. Your husband asks his HR for the cert. around November. If there’s a valid reason why you need to have your own Philhealth, yes, you can pay June to Nov to avail of the benefit. Actually, the requirement for Individual Payors is payment of 3 of the 6 months prior to delivery

  200. Hi Mam, i’m OFW. 1st time Mom and 16 weeks pregnant and will deliver in February 2014. From 2010 to date, i’ve paid PHILHEALTH. Do i need to pay by January because I’ll give birth in February.

    Reply
    • Hi Dianne, if your Philhealth status is OFW, you must pay Sep 2014 to March 2015, so your due date will be covered by your premium receipt’s validity dates. If you change to Individual Payor, pay Sep to Jan 2015. Get your MDR from Philhealth.

    • Hi Lycia, pay July to Sep today or asap at Philhealth so you can get your MDR. Bring your leave form in case they ask. Get a cert of premium payment with OR nos. from your employer (to add to your July and Aug payment; you need 3 monthly payments prior to Sep). You can sign your claim form 1.

  205. Good pm. I gave birth at a lying in. I got 8k for my philhealth benefits. Since your article said the coverage for normal delivery at a lying in is 6500? I paid 2k after birth to comply with a new policy related to dependent/member. is there a policy like that? can i refund that? I’ve read about no billing policy.

    Reply
    • Hi ivee, 6500 plus 1500 for newborn care is 8k. your lying-in must have submitted prenatal receipts. There’s no difference between members and dependents regarding benefits. Your lying-in should have been more honest — they should just have told you that their total bill is 10k, so 10k – 8k = 2k.

        • Hi Fatima, ask your husband to get his MDR from Philhealth. He brings your marriage certificate (orig and xerox) if he’s not sure you’re written in his Philhealth records as dependent. You should have your CS at a level 2 to 4 hospital so you can use Philhealth. Many hospitals are Level 2 to 4 hospitals — they have departments for OB, pediatrics, internal medicine, etc. You can ask the hospital their level.

    • Hi Andre Mae, do you have a resignation letter addressed to your company? If your company signed that, get a copy, and I think you can use that to register as Individual Payor with Philhealth, and pay for Jan to March so you can avail in April. Another option, if you are married, ask your husband to register asap, and pay for Jan to Mar or Jan to June, and register you as his dependent. He brings your marriage certificate and your letter asking Philhealth to cancel your Philhealth membership as you are already unemployed and to register you as your husband’s dependent.

  245. I gave birth last jun3 as cs. I paid my ob’s pf worth 20k. My hospital bills amounted to 15435 and i paid 1435 and the remaining was frm philhealth. You said po 19k is for cs. Where did the 3565 go? Thanks po

    Reply
    • Hi Christianne, 19k is allocated as 11,400 for the hospital and 7,600 for PF. It has been the practice of some hospitals to get the PF allocation (7,600) or part of the allocation even if the patient has already paid the doctor’s PF in cash. When Philhealth pays the hospital after many months, the coverage for PF is given to the doctor as additional PF or to the others who assisted. You can ask your hospital if you decide so. By the way, would you please name the hospital. It seems their CS is more affordable than most hospitals, based on costs mentioned by those commenting here.

    • Hi samantha, yes, you can use it in October. 5k pesos lang ang Philhealth deduction for normal, so kung mag-private ka, tataasan ng Ob-gyne ang singil niya, at mas mataas yong bayaran mong bill. Usually pa, 3k lang ang dinededuct, kasi yong 2k idagdag pa doon sa PF ng OB-gyne. Ask your OB-gyne how much ang Philhealth package niya so you can prepare. God bless too.

    • Hi merydevis, 200 pesos per month, pero quarterly na ang payments. So 600 per quarter. Pay for July to Sep asap, and then in Oct, pay for Oct to Dec so you can avail in Dec. Pay at Philhealth with your ID so you can ask for your MDR.

    Paano ko po ba magagamit yun voluntary lang po ako.

    • Hi Marynel, yes, magagamit mo in Dec. Did you get your MDR from Philhealth? Ang requirement ng hospital ay: your MDR, receipt of your premium payment at any ID. Philhealth claim form 1 din – puede itong kunin from the hospital or from Philhealth

    • Hi Markdayne, yes, basta paid ang 3 months of the 6 months before confinement, puedeng gamitin ang Philhealth kahit married or unmarried.

  261. hi po! itanong ko lang kung magkakaproblema po kaya ako sa pagalis ng bansa? Ang gamit ko po kc sa Passport ko Single pa ako at sa NBI ko ganun din ang mga resume at employment certificate ko single lahat. Pero Married na po ako sa Philhealth at pagibig. Paano po kaya yun prosesong pagbabayad pag ganito magkaiba ang status ko.?

    Reply
    • Hi Gladys, hindi naman na required ang pagbayad ng Pag-ibig at Philhealth sa pagkuha ng OEC, di ba? Hiwalay na, o optional na, at OWWA and processing fee na lang ang binabayaran, so okay lang na iba ang surname mo sa Philhealth at Pag-ibig. Bayaran mo pa rin ang Philhealth at Pag-ibig mo for your family’s sake.

    • Hi bunny, nag-submit ba kayo ng Philhealth papers sa lying-in? If yes, yon na yong Philhealth maternity benefit ninyo, yong hindi kayo pinagbayad ng lying-in. Ibig sabihin, Philhealth na ang magbabayad sa gastos nio sa lying-in.

    • Hi Joyleen, yes, you need to pay for Aug Sep as voluntary para ma-cover ka. Sa Philhealth ka magbayad, and show them your leave form. At the hospital, show voluntary payment receipt and cert and claim form signed by employer. Dapat paid mo ang 3 of these months (June to Nov)

  265. Hi,due date ko ngayong nov. 11 at active member po ako ng philhealth. I decided n s lying in ako manganak since normal delivery nman ako.i have my mdr already.but the problem is i am married,9 years n kming hiwalay at my ibang partner n dn ako ngaun.s mdr k,aplydo p dn ng asawa k ang gamit k.ang sabi ng midwife,if i intend to use my philhealth using my husband’s surname, ang mag aappear s birthcertificate ng baby is aplydo ng asawa k(though i dont want to since hndi naman sya ang tatay).i went to philhealth express office and asked what to do,if i can change my surname so that my baby can use my surname.sabi ng officer,pwede.i just have to submit an affidavit to use maiden surname and so i updated my account.the officer gave me my new mdr showing my maiden surname.i showed it to the midwife na mag aattend sakin.but she said, there will be discrepancy since my status is married.they will be questioned at ibbalik dw sknila kapag daw mag claim sila sa philhealth.she advised me to pay/get new account using my maiden name and use single as my status.pls help me.im confused.

    Reply
    • Hi maricel, first time that I’ve heard this kind of problem. Ang alam ko, wala namang pakialam ang Philhealth kung sino ang father ng baby. Second, wala namang civil status sa Philhealth claim forms. Third, isa-submit ba ang birth certificate sa pag-claim ng coverage for normal delivery daw? Ang alam ko isa-submit lang ang birth certificate kung magke-claim ng newborn care na worth 1750 for the baby. Pinapalitan pa ang true surname mo, haaay — sa legal matters, puede lang magpalit ng married surname kung merong cert of annulment or legal separation.
      Sa akin, kung walang valid reason na gagamitin ng baby ang surname ng biological father, I prefer na gagamitin ng baby ang father’s surname, kasi yon ang totoo, at para meron ding middle name yong baby (mother’s maiden name). Baka biru-biruin lang siya paglaki niya bakit wala siyang middle name. Pero siempre nasa iyo ang desisyon kung anong preference mo.
      Yong suggestion ng midwife to get a new account, hindi na puede ngayon kasi hindi na tatanggapin ng Philhealth ang premium payment for July-Sep quarter (ito ang required for Nov delivery) dahil ang deadline for paying July-Sep quarter was Sep 30. Sana as is na lang yong first MDR mo, then affidavit of discrepancy addressed to Philhealth kung it’s true that Philhealth requires what the midwife said. Anyway, dahil napabago mo na ang MDR mo, at hindi na puedeng get a new account, use this new MDR with your maiden name. Tell midwife that you will make an affidavit to Philhealth if Philhealth needs the birth cert. I hope you can comment again.

Meron kasing program na “women about to give birth” at yong 1 year payment ang requirement. Kung March ka sana manganganak, puede yong Jan to March payment.

If it’s for maternity at late ka na for you due delivery date, you can ask your hospital or clinic so you can avail of the “Women about to give birth policy” — babayaran mo ang one year, plus have checkups with them, so you can avail.

Request for cert of applicable premium payments from your employer para maipakita mo sa hospital, plus receipt ng nabayaran mong July and August. Magkasya naman yong payments through employer pero pay also for August para continuous ang coverage mo lalo na at magka-baby ka na.

    Reply
    • Hi Cherry, required kasi sa Philhealth yong birth certificate ng baby. Parang mas practical na ma-avail nio yong 19k na coverage for CS. Kasi puede namang ilakad ng father later on yong Admission of Paternity Affidavit para maisulat ang name of father and magamit yong surname sa birth certificate ng baby. Pero depende pa rin sa inyo kung anong option ang mas preferred ninyo. Para mas clear sa inyo, puede kayong pumunta sa local registrar ninyo at magtanong kung ano ang gagawin later on ng father at magkano ang babayaran kung wala yong father na pipirma sa birth certificate.

    • Hi Jovelyn, sorry, kung nabasa mo yong unang sagot ko, iibahin ko. Nag-iba na pala ang policy ng Philhealth. Immediate eligibility na pala. Puede nang gamitin kahit late o merong months na hindi nabayaran. Ang gagawin lang ng asawa mo is babayaran nia yong months na dapat nabayaran nia plus interest.
