Philhealth Branches — Membership Reactivation
Here are some tips when reactivating your Philhealth membership, based on what we recently experienced.
If you’re a former OFW who paid membership fees when Philhealth was still called Medicare, most probably your record is no longer with Philhealth. So when you want to be a member again, you will be applying as a new member.
You will use the new membership form, and you need to bring your birth certificate, your marriage certificate (so you can include your spouse as your dependent), and birth certificates (so your children will be enrolled as your dependents). Bring original and xerox copies.
If your spouse is a former Philhealth member, he/she can’t be enrolled as your dependent even if he/she has not paid his/her membership fees for more than 12 months. This was my case. I was rejected as a dependent even if I haven’t paid for more than 12 months.
What I should do, according to Philhealth, is to write a letter informing them I haven’t paid my premiums for many months and ask them to allow my husband to register me as his dependent. I hope Philhealth will address this issue in the coming months, so this type of letter is not needed.
Anyway, I wrote the letter, telling them I’m already inactive, and now I’m a dependent of my husband, who’s a former OFW and now an Individually Paying Member.

Hello, I'm Mrs. Nors.
I write based on my experiences and research and I answer questions the best I can at the moment I'm writing my answers.
For critical questions, please ask others also to confirm my answers in case I missed something...baka lang merong updates or changes that I missed.

Hi john, haven’t you received a second email giving you your Philhealth no.? Some people who have commented here said they got their Philhealth no. after registering online. But if they changed the process, and you can’t see another email, go to Philhealth, and ask for your Philhealth no. Maybe they need to see your IDs first or birth certificate. There are Philhealth desks at Robinsons malls.
Ma’am bukas ba ang Philhealth/SSS/Pagibig pag Saturday?
Hi Piningarci, they’re closed on weekends. For payments, Bayad Center and SM Business Center are open even on weekends.
Hi! Ask ko lang po kung ma aavail ko po ba yung philhealth benefits ng asawa ko kahit hindi ako naka add as dependent? If not, ano po mga kailangan/requirements para ma add ako as dependent? And lastly, yung husband ko 1yr n sya sa company pero wala syang philhealth card, magagamit nya po ba yung benefits ng philhealth?
Hi Vience, yes, just show your marriage certificate to the hospital. Or better, you ask your husband to update his member data at Philhealth, bringing your marriage cert and his IDs. Yes, even if your husband does not have his Philhealth ID, he can avail of benefits, as long as he is updated with his payments. Documents to avail: MDR from Philhealth, claim form 1 signed by employer and certificate of premium payments from employer.
