A Guide to PhilHealth Registration for Newly Hired and Existing Employees

Ensuring that employees are properly registered with PhilHealth is an essential step in securing healthcare benefits. Whether you are a newly hired employee or an existing one without a PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN), it’s important to understand the registration process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through the procedures.


For Newly Hired and Existing Employees Without a PhilHealth PIN

If you do not have a PhilHealth PIN yet, follow these steps to complete your registration:

  1. Fill Out the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF)

    • Secure two (2) copies of the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF).
    • Ensure that all required fields are correctly and completely filled out to avoid delays in processing.
  2. Submit the PMRF to Your HR Department

    • Once completed, submit both copies to the HR Department of your employer.
    • Your employer will then process your registration with PhilHealth.
  3. Wait for Your PhilHealth ID and Member Data Record (MDR)

    • After processing, you will receive your PhilHealth ID card and Member Data Record (MDR) from your employer.
    • These documents are proof of your PhilHealth membership and are required when availing of PhilHealth benefits.

For Newly Hired Employees with an Existing PhilHealth PIN

If you already have a PhilHealth PIN from previous employment or personal registration, follow these steps:

  1. Report Your PIN to Your Employer

    • Provide your existing PhilHealth PIN to your employer.
    • This ensures that your records are correctly updated in their system.
  2. Employer Updates Your PIN in the ER2 Form

    • Your employer will indicate your PhilHealth PIN in the Employer's Remittance Report (ER2).
    • This step ensures that your contributions are properly recorded under your name.

Premium Contribution Requirements

How Are Premiums Paid?

  • PhilHealth contributions are shared between the employee and the employer.
  • The premium amount is based on the current contribution rate set by PhilHealth.

Salary Deduction and Remittance

  • Your employer deducts half of the required premium contribution from your monthly salary.
  • The employer matches the other half and remits the total contribution to PhilHealth on your behalf.

Registering for PhilHealth is a crucial step in securing access to healthcare benefits. Whether you are a new or existing employee, ensuring your PhilHealth PIN is correctly registered with your employer is essential. By understanding these procedures, you can ensure smooth processing and avoid any delays in availing of PhilHealth services when needed.
