PhilHealth Benefits Update this June 2018


PhilHealth occasionally makes some changes to its benefit packages, policies, and other membership requirements. It is imperative that one has to be informed of the changes; that way everyone will know what they’ll be getting out of their contributions. This year, there are new PhilHealth benefits update and everyone should be aware of that.


The following are the latest updates to your Philhealth benefits update, contribution changes, and coverage that you should know of:

Higher PhilHealth Contributions

Starting January 2018, the PhilHealth premium contributions went through an increase slightly for all employees, government and private, sea-based overseas Filipino workers, household helpers, and other formal economy members.

The new PhilHealth premium contribution has been raised from 2.5% to 2.75%; up by 0.25%.

PhilHealth also made adjustments for the lowest and highest salary bracket. The lowest bracket which was at Php8, 999.99 is now Php10, 000.00 and for the highest bracket now is Php40, 000.00 from the previous Php35, 000.00.

What has not changed is the equal monthly contribution by both the employee and employer. As for the Kasambahays earning less than Php5, 000.00, the employer will be the one paying the premium contributions. However, Kasambahays receiving higher compensations would need to pay for their share.

With these changes, employees receiving a basic salary of Php40, 000 and above, their premium has been raised to Php1, 100 from the previous Php1, 000. Php550 will be shared by the employee and Php550 by the employer.
