- Know your Ph
ilHealth Identification Number (PIN) or always have your PhilHealth ID Card (PIC). Most hospitals will ask you to present your PhilHealth ID Card in order for them to acknowledge that you are a PhilHealth member. Those under the sponsored program will be required to present their ID card for the hospital to validate your PhilHealth coverage. If you do not have a PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) yet, then go to this post; - Make sure that your registration details with PhilHealth is up-to-date. An updated record is usually the cause of problems in availing PhilHealth benefits. Be sure to update PhilHealth about your change in address, civil status and new dependents. If you find that there is a discrepancy in your record, have it corrected immediately. If you are unable to do so, make sure that you attach the required supporting document in the availment/claim document;
- Always have your PhilHealth Official Receipt (POR), PhilHealth Agent Receipt (PAR) or other receipt acknowledged by PhilHealth as proof of payment. Hospitals may require you to present proof of your latest payments especially if you are under the Individually Paying Member category. You should have the receipt/s of your latest nine (9) months payment prior confinement.
- Your or your dependent's confinement should be in a PhilHealth accredited hospital or facility. If you or any of your dependents are confined in an unaccredited hospital or facility then you might not be able to avail of PhilHealth benefits for bills paid to the institution. Accredited hospitals/facilities have a PhilHealth signage at their entrance. You should also know that hospitals and facilities should ha ve a n active accreditation period with PhilHealth in order to avail PhilHealth benefits.
For employed members, request your employer to certify the Claim Form 1 (CF1). This will be required by the hospital for automatic deduction of PhilHealth benefits. Ensure that your contributions are being reported and remitted by your employer. As of now PhilHealth does not have an online facility accessible by its members to inquire about their contributions. You may however contact PhilHealth's call center or the Collection Section of PhilHealth Offices to verify your contributions.
For OFWs, your Member Data Record (MDR) will show your recent payments with PhilHealth. Sponsored members' coverage will be visible in their Phil Hea lth ID Card;
- The doctor, anesthesiologist and other professionals should also be PhilHealth accredited. If your doctor is not accredited, then you will not be able to reimburse the professional fees paid to them. You should also be aware that like the accredited health institutions, there are instances when you may not be paid depending on their accreditation period with PhilHealth;
- Inquire how much is the regular professional fee and how much would be the PhilHealth deduction from your doctor. Some doctors have different rates for a non-PhilHealth and a PhilHealth member. This question should be asked as soon as possible as you might find it a pain if you fully pay the professional fee and then later want to reimburse it directly with PhilHealth only to find out that the doctor will not sign or provide you a disclaimer for full payment. This is usually the cause of conflict between the member and the doctor;
- Inquire whether the hospital allows the senior citizen or government employee discount combined with PhilHealth benefits. Aside from PhilHealth benefits, your hospital bill may still be lessened if the patient is a senior citizen or the member is a government employee. Ask if the hospital/facility is implementing this scheme and if the senior citizen or government employee discount can be combined with the deduction from PhilHealth. As per experience, we have previously availed the senior citizen discount plus the PhilHealth benefit;
- Retain a copy of the hospital and professional receipts, statement of accounts and other documents that will be attached to the PhilHealth claim. This can be used in requesting for adjustments, you may use these as evidence in cases of conflicts and may further be used in ensuring that you have received the right amount of benefits due to you.
- Evaluate the Benefit Payment Notice (BPN) sent by PhilHealth. The Benefit Payment Notice (BPN) is basically a document informing you of how much the hospital, doctor or you as the member received from PhilHealth for your confinement. You may use this document to validate if the amount deducted by the hospital and doctor tallies with the amount they received from PhilHealth. If the amount they received from PhilHealth is greater than the amount they have deducted, then you may request for a refund from the hospital and the doctor. If the balance was returned to PhilHealth you may contact the PhilHealth Office near you. So save your receipts and make sure that the address you have in the PhilHealth record is updated.
Hope this helps you improve your experience in availing benefits under the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP).

Deletepno ko po mlalaman f kelan ko mku2ha ung maternity reimbursement kpo?tnx
ReplyDeletepno kpo mla2mn f approve ung maternity reimbursement kpo.my ibi2gy pba sking mga stub? tnx
ReplyDeleteusually dine-deduct na agad ng ospital ang benepisyo galing Philhealth, maaari mo itong i-validate using yung statement of accounts na galing sa ospital. Kung deducted na ang PhilHealth, wala ka nang mae-expect na reimbursement. however, kung hindi dineduct ang Philhealth benefits mo, pwede mo ito i-reimburse. Maaaring tumawag sa call center para i-follow-up ang iyong reimbursement. Usually takes around 60days para maprocess ang claim assuming na kumpleto ang mga required attachments.
Deletehi gud pm, ask ko lang po sana kung up to what extent po ung maa-avail na benefits sa panganganak nung qualified dependents ng isang philhealth member? ung tatay po nung manganganak ung philhealth member tapos po ung philhealth po ay given by the municipal government po. thank you.

ReplyDeleteIf our hospital bills is 25k pesos..
ReplyDeleteIlan percent ang dededuct sa phil health?
we would have no way of knowing how much if the benefit is a fee-for-service since marami pong factors ang computation nito. For case rates however, you may go to this link:

Hi, I had a hysterectomy at Asian Hospital and the total bill was 170,000,
ReplyDeleteExcluding the Doctor professional fees. This total bill had philhealth deductions of about 18,000.
I paid the Doctor in her Clinic 70,000 for her PF. But Since it was not included in the total hospital bill-- Philhealth was not deducted in this PF.
I would like to know: Can I have some reimbursement on Philhealth or somekind of monetary benefit to Lessen the professional fee that I already paid to the doctor? How to do?
