P2,500.00 - Hospital (room and board, drugs and medicines, laboratories, supplies, ancillary procedures, other medically necessary charges);
P2,500.00 - Physician (actual deliver, immediate postpartum care, counseling);
P1,500.00 - Prenatal care.
Total benefit amount is P6,500.00.
Note that this applies only the first four (4) low-risk normal spontaneous deliveries.

hello..im on my third pregnancy,,twin po ito,,pero yung nauna kong dalawa eh hindi pa po ako employed nor member ng philhealth..iko-consider poh ba na first benefit ko toh from philhealth..and not third?
ReplyDeleteAs far as we know the benefit applies sa kung pang ilang pregnancy ka na hindi based on kung kelan ka naging member. So it would be the third pregnancy na.

ReplyDeleteYou will need a copy of your mdr reflecting your payment. If it is not reflected attach a photocopy of your receipt and philhealth id plus one valid id. These docs will be requested by the hospital.
Deletehi, question lng po. due q na diz september. still searching for accredited lying in clinic. but what if my doctor is philhealth accredited but the hospital is NOT! can i still avail the philhalth benefits? if so, how much? pls i need an answer. thnx!
ReplyDeleteAs far as we know, the accredited hospitals will be directly deducting the benefit for this case. If only the physician is accredited, then you would probably only avail the portion of the physician.
Deleteit would be best to coordinate with their call center and inquire on the amount that may be availed to have an accurate figure.
Deletehello! ask langi am on my third trimester of pregnancy and 2 years na akong alang work.. paano ko kaya maaavail ang philhealth maternity benefit..o marereactivate ang aking philhealth.
ReplyDeletedahil sa gap ng iyong contributions, possible na hindi mo magamit ang iyong maternity benefits. however, pwede mo pa rin ipagpatuloy ang iyong contributions by paying the required quarterly premium sa kahit anong accredited collecting agent ng PhilHealth o diretso sa PhilHealth.
