New PhilHealth Contribution Table 2021

The Philippine Health Insurance will implement the scheduled contribution rate adjustment for 2021. In an official statement, Philhealth said that the increase in the contribution for 2021 will push through despite the pandemic to ensure sufficient funding for the health care benefits of its 110 million members mandated by the RA 11223 or the Universal Health Care Law.

Under the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law, all Filipinos are a member of the Philhealth either as Direct or Indirect Contributors and shall be eligible for No Balance Billing (NBB) once admitted to basic or ward accommodations in hospitals. According to PhilHealth, the Universal health care Law will be the hope for the country for better healthcare services as it battles the Covid-19.

Other benefits of the UHC Law include:

  • Automatic membership of all Filipinos into the National Health Insurance Program
  • Immediate eligibility of all Filipinos to PhilHealth Benefits each time they seek treatment
  • Assignment of every Filipino to a primary care provider or PCP of their choice initially in pilot areas to be identified in each region in 2021. This program is called Konsulta or Konsultasyong Sulit at Tama.
  • No co-payment (or no balance billing) in confinements and basic or ward accommodation in both public and private healthcare facilities except when availing of amenities, for which Philhealth will develop co-payment limits to make cost predictable.
  • Lifetime Philhealth Coverage for all members upon reaching the age of retirement and after contributing at least 120 months to the Program.
