PhilHealth Maternity Benefits

Since Nov. 1, 2009, PhilHealth has been giving the following benefits for all normal spontaneous deliveries performed in accredited hospitals/lying-in clinics:

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.

The basis for this revised maternity benefit package is Circular No. 39, s. 2009 pursuant to PhilHealth Board Res. No. 1282, s. 2009.

  2. As 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.

    1. You 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.

    1. As 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.

    2. it would be best to coordinate with their call center and inquire on the amount that may be availed to have an accurate figure.

    1. dahil 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.

    1. Di mo na po mgagamit ksi lagpas na sa coverage na nbayaran mo. pero Kung OFW ka po ngaun at magbabayad pa lang Pwede agad Mgamit from the date na nagbayad ka gang next year. kht may month ka na di nabayaran.

      pero kung nsa pinas na po at ngaun ka plang magbabayad maghihintay pa ng 9mos bago mo mgamit philhealth.
