How to Change Philhealth Member Status from Employed to Unemployed

 

Question:  How can I change my Philhealth member status from Employed to Unemployed.

It’s been 2 years that I’ve been unemployed.  I want to continue be an active member again.

Answer:  

1.  You will become an INDIVIDUAL PAYOR.

2.  Go to the nearest Philhealth branch with any of your valid IDs and 600 pesos or more.

Bring also your marriage certificate and your children’s birth certificates (xerox and original copies) to register your dependents.

3.  Fill up Philhealth Member Registration Form.

Check “For Updating”.

Check “Informal Sector” and “No Income”.

 

Submit for processing.

4.  You will be given your updated MDR and your Philhealth card.

5.  Go to the cashier and pay your premiums for the current quarter (600 pesos per quarter).

You can also pay for the next quarters, if you like.

6.  Keep your premium OR and MDR — these are required in case you need treatment.

    • Hi elaine, was your bill covered by Philhealth in full? and you did not pay anything? If you did not pay anything, you will not get any refund from Philhealth. Is this a government hospital? Did you buy meds and supplies outside? Was your bill less than 11,400? If yes, keep your OR and wait for your notice from Philhealth and then ask for your refund from the hospital.

    • Hi Bella, it depends on how much you agreed upon with the doctor before surgery. Sad to say, doctors can charge as much as they want. Ask your doctor or the hospital. Coverage for regular total hysterectomy is 30k

    • Hi leny, ask your husband to email you an authorization letter, a scan or photograph of his ID and his OEC. Print these and go to Philhealth with your ID and your marriage certificate. Fill up member form on behalf of your husband. Write yourself as dependent. Ask for your husband’s MDR (your name should be written as dependent in the MDR) and Philhealth card.
