To All PhilHealth Members

i agree with you. but we have to understand that there are certain people who do not have the means yet to pay the premium increase, so this will give them a chance to pay their premiums and avail their philhealth benefits. for clarification that increase is for those non-professional individually paying member. the increase in premium for the professional individually paying member(doctors, lawyers etc)started this year (January 1, 2012) as well as the OFW (from 900php they now pay 1200php, and next year they will pay 2400php the same amount the individually paying members will be paying). and the premium of the employed member will also increase next year January 2013.

Oh is that so? Thank you for the information, my friend. I haven't really read a newspaper or even heard it on news yet. But i have been hearing that indeed there will be an impending increase in premiums for employed persons too. I just hope that it will not be much so we will not feel its gravity on our salaries. But i salute Philhealth, because it is indeed a great help to the people. i was twice operated on, and Philhealth paid form a part of my bills, before my health card does their share too.

that's good to hear! atleast they are doing their job right? the increase for employed is i think 3% of your salary. but ofcourse 1.5% will be paid by employer and the other 1.5% will be paid by the employee.
