Suspension of the 9-over-12 Premium Requirement

A PhilHealth Advisory and PhilHealth Circular No. 09 s-2011 were released to inform the public of the suspension of the Nine (9) over Twelve (12) months premium requirement for availment of benefits that is supposedly due for implementation this July 2011 under PhilHealth Circular No. 25 series 2010.

Hence, employed and voluntary members may still avail PhilHealth benefits with only three months contributions within a six month period prior to the date of confinement. Availment of other benefits such as maternity package are still requiring 9-over-12 premium requirement for voluntary members.

  2. hi, you might be asked to provide a certification or letter from your previous employer that you are no longer connected to the company. Fill-out the PMRF form, put a check mark on Updating and indicate your new membership category to IPM and select Others. In the Others portion, enter "separated from employment". Continue paying your premium contributions which is 300php quarterly.

    hope this helps

  5. Pwede mag avail ang voluntary members pag may nine months na contribution within a 12 months period bago makagamit para sa maternity benefits. so kung october ka maco-confine bilang ka ng 12 months pabalik... sep, aug, jul, jun, may, apr, mar, feb, jan, dec '10, nov '10. Kung ang bilang ng buwan na bayad ka ay nine months or higit pa, pwede ka mag-avail.

  8. sa aming pagkaka-alam ay pwede mo i-avail ang PhilHealth dahil meron kang 9 months na hulog bago ang November/bago mo i-avail. Pero para makatiyak sa tuloy-tuloy na pag gamit ng benepisyo maaari mong bayaran ang iyong 4th Qtr (Oct-Dec) payment.

    1. I apply for my Philhealth last quarter of 2011, I paid the last quarter and I paid the year 2012 in full. I am giving birth this May, can I avail the maternity benefit?

    2. You would need to count back 12 months prior your availment of maternity. Within that time you will need 9months payment in order to avail. If you started paying only on the 4th qtr 2011 you only have 7months payment before your availment. The requirement is 9months payment for individually paying members

  10. Hi, How about kung hindi nakakapag bayad ang isang company for a year? will that be subject to penalty? and papaano yung process para mabayadan yung mga contributions na late? Thanks
