Increase on PhilHealth Premium for Individually Paying Members to start on October 1, 2012

PhilHealth through the Advisory No. 07-01-2012 has announced that the increase in premiums for Individually Paying Members (IPM) from Php100.00 to Php200.00 per month shall take effect this coming October 1, 2012.


Hence, IPMs may still pay the quarterly premium of Php300.00 for the 3rd quarter. Payment for the 4th Quarter will still be Php300.00 if done before October 1. As a means to promote continuity of coverage, PhilHealth is granting its voluntary members the option to pay their annual premiums for Jan-Dec 2013 using the current rate of Php1,200 per year if paid before the effectivity of the premium increase.

The advisory is applicable to all Individually Paying Members except professional and those average monthly earnings is more than Php25,000.00
