Updated June 2, 2014:
Since January 2014, all hospitalizations and outpatient treatments eligible for Philhealth coverage are already being covered under the Philhealth Case Rate system. Each medical or surgical case is covered by a fixed amount.
For medical cases, 30% of the fixed amount is for Doctors’ Professional Fees (PF) and 70% is for hospital costs.
For surgical cases, it’s 40% for PF and 60% for hospital costs.
You can no longer file your Philhealth claims directly with Philhealth.
Submit your Philhealth documents to the hospital BEFORE DISCHARGE, so the hospital will deduct the Philhealth coverage from your bill. It will be to the hospital that Philhealth will send the check.
If the hospital asks you to sign a waiver, READ the waiver.
You can see the coverage amounts here: Procedure Case Rates and Medical Case Rates.
The coverage amounts listed in the charts below, posted in August 2011, are still correct, but the list below includes only the first procedures and conditions covered under the Case Rate program.

Article below was posted on August 2011:
Last September 1, 2011, Philhealth started implementing its policy of paying fixed rates or fixed amounts to accredited hospitals and clinics for 11 medical cases and 11 surgical cases under its reimbursement scheme called Case Rates Payment.
If we count 9 case rates payment packages implemented since 2003, there are now 31 medical and surgical cases paid by Philhealth under its Case Rates Payment scheme. Other cases are paid under the regular Fee-for-Service scheme.
The fixed Philhealth payments are made directly to the hospitals or clinics. The fixed Philhealth payment is deducted from the total hospital bill and the balance will be paid by the patient.
Philhealth said that the Case Rates basis of payments for SURGICAL CASES is applied to cases managed at Levels 2 to 4 hospitals (bigger hospitals), with certain exceptions.
For sponsored members and their dependents, the No Balance Billing Policy will apply when they are confined in government hospitals or clinics. It means the Philhealth payments will be adequate to cover their expenses for these 22 medical and surgical cases and they don’t need to pay anything. In cases where patients are asked to buy certain drugs or supplies, they will be reimbursed.
These are the selected medical and surgical cases and the fixed amounts that Philhealth is going to pay to hospitals or clinics, implemented for patients admitted starting September 1, 2011:

Hi Cheryll, yes, it’s covered. Coverage of Bell’s palsy or facial palsy (cranial nerve disorder) is 7,400 (2,220 for doctor and 5,180 for the hospital). I guess that’s just for the initial consultation and treatment. You might have to pay for the therapies until 90 days pass, and you can use the coverage for Bell’s palsy again.
Hi Nora,
Is Bell’s Palsy also covered with PhilHealth? If so, how much is the coverage? I am planning to take therapies, hope you could answer my query.

Hi miss nora tanong ko lang po mag kano po aabutin ng babayaran ko sa PGH kapag nag pa opera ako ng inguinal hernia tapos may philhealth po ako?
Hi Raymond, merong rule kasi ang Philhealth na kapag magkasabay ang 2 or more surgeries or illnesses, isa lang ang ico-cover nila — yong mas expensive. Halimbawa, cholecystectomy at hospital-acquired pneumonia — yong cholecystectomy lang ang covered. Primary case rate ang tawag nila sa mas expensive na illness o surgery. Second case rate ang tawag sa cheaper condition. Meron lang mga certain procedures na covered as second case rate, katulad ng dialysis o chemo. Wala sa second case rate list ang ovarian cyst removal, kaya sinabi ng hospital na hindi kasama. It’s just so sad that the gap between Philhealth’s coverage amounts and actual hospital rates is so wide.
Good day po ask ko lng po kc ang asawa ko po ay nanganak Cesarean po sya before po sya manganak nabasa ng doctor nya s ultra sound n my ovarian cyst po sya kya nun nanganank po asawa ko ay isinabay na po s operation ang pag tanggal ng ovarian cyst en den ang na cover lng po ng philheath is yun sa cesarian packages which is 19k po ang tanong ko po ay bkit indi po hindi po napa sama yun package pra sa removing of ovarian cyst? Ang sbi po kc sa akin s hospital hindi daw po sya pasok s second case rate pwede po b makahingi ng tama sagot en explanation sa tanong ko po salamat po
Hi Ms.Nora,May latest coverage po ba kayo ng ovarian cystectomy 2018? Ooperahan po kasi ako this coming sept 10. Gusto ko sana malaman. Sa government hosp po gagawin
Hi rubelyn, kung nabawas na ang 5k (3k for hospital and 2k for doctor) sa hospital bill mo, it means na-avail mo na yong benefit at wala nang refund. For information purpose na lang yong notice na nakuha mo.
ask KO lng po may dumating po kc saken na letter na may nkalagay na price na 3000 at 2000 nA kabuuan at 5000 galing po sa philhealth ano po ba ang ibig sabihin nun may marerefund po ba ako o wala..

Good morning Ms nora . Ask ko lang po kung covered ng philhealth pag UTI yung case? Nakaconfine po kasi baby ko , uti po yung case. Thank you and God bless.
Hi Erica, oo, maco-cover ng Philhealth, pero fixed na ang Philhealth deduction. For CS, 19k ang coverage (11,400 for hospital and 7,600 for PF). Yong total hospital cost mo, 11,400 ang ibabawas. Yong PF, depende sa ob-gyne o kung meron kayong usapan ng ob-gyne — kung may usapan, usually you give your payment directly to the ob, so walang Philhealth deduction.
Ask ko lang po kung covered parin po ng philhealth ang private room sa public hospitals? CS delivery po ako.. Thankyou po
ask k lng po if covered po ang laryngectomy
…tnxs po..
Hi po ask ko lang po if magkano ang maleless sa philhealth if ang casi is urosepsis?thanks
HI joan, yes, covered ang tonsillectomy (18k pesos: 9,600 for hospital and 8,400 for doctor). You will pay the balance. Nag-usap ba kayo ng surgeon about his PF? There are cases na you will pay the surgeon separately and the hospital separately. Yong hospital ang magde-deduct ng Philhealth coverage at baka 9,600 lang din ang idededuct.
Good pm po, Miss Nora.. ask ko lang po kung ang tonsillectomy po ba ay covered ng philhealth? pati po yung OR? mag uundergo po ako ng tonsillectomy on Monday. imjust to make sure po kung covered po sya ng philheath. thank you po.
Hi Alvin, depende kung anong treatment. Sa Philhealth list, ang coverage for craniectomy for excision of brain tumor or for meningioma is 67,200 (21k for doctor and 46,200 for hospital costs). Kung craniectomy of midline tumor at base of skull, total coverage is 71,400. Ask also the hospital for total costs.
May makukuha po ba ung Papa ko galing sa philhealth kung nadiagnosed siya na may brain tumor?
Hi Fatima, sori hindi covered, kasi diagnostic procedure ang MRI, at hindi ko makita sa list. Pero tanungin nio pa rin sa kung saan kayo magpa-MRI

Hi Cherry, sorry I can’t give the exact coverage amount. It’s better if you go to the Billing Dept and ask kasi they know the exact diagnosis. Dito sa Philhealth list, merong coverage na 5,800, merong 8k plus, meron ding 9,300, depende sa gravity ng lesion or tumor sa mouth at kung saan located.
Cancer patient po ang mother ko. Naoperahan sya for the removal of mouth tumor. Ano po ba ang discount sa philhealth meron sya. Senior non paying phil health member po sya
Hi Mary Jane, there are several kinds of endoscopy in the coverage list, ranging from 18k to 25k. Ang basis ng Philhealth coverage will be the final diagnosis of the doctor, and if there are several, the diagnosis with the highest cost will be the one to be covered. Have your family ask directly the doctor how much would be the endoscopy so you can prepare.
Hi Jess, merong outpatient anti-TB program ang Philhealth, you just need to go to accredited facilities. I’ll email you the list. Yong regular na coverage for TB is for those confined due to TB and complications.

Hi Ruby, dapat 15k ang coverage (10,500 for hospital and 4,500 for the doctor). It’s sad na ganon ang practice ng mga maraming hospitals na yong hospital coverage lang ang dinededuct. Request the billing dept to deduct 4,500 from the doctor’s fee. Kung ayaw, ask them saan pupunta yong 4,500, kung additional na PF ba ng doctor? o sa hospital? At puede bang irefund yon later on?

Hi. I am currently pregnant for 8mos. Nadiagnose ako ng pre-term labor due to UTI. Nothing was covered kazi di daw kami umabot ng 96 hours. We want to clarify how valid it is cos i remembered being hospitalized before. Di naman kmi umabot ng 96 hrs but still may kinover ang philhealth.
Hi Raquel, sorry hindi ibinibigay yong sobrang coverage sa member. Napupunta sa health center. Tanungin mo na lang kung ano pang covered newborn care ang puede nilang mabigay sa baby mo.
Hi Jay, pay for April to June asap. Kapag hindi paid ang Jan to March, sa June pa puedeng gamitin yong Apr to June receipt. Kapag abdominal or laparoscopic myomectomy, 23,300 ang coverage. Kausapin ang doctor kung magkano kapag merong Philhealth para you can prepare.
Hi Peter, depende kasi yan sa diagnosis ng mother mo. Ang pinakamaganda diyan is pumunta ka sa billing at tanungin mo kung magkano ang Philhealth deduction. Yong dialysis ay 2,600 per dialysis per session ang coverage. Tanungin mo na rin kung paano mag-apply for PCSO assistance. Kelangang magtanong ka talaga about PCSO assistance kasi malaking gasto yang hinaharap nio.

Hi joan, if you mean yong paglagay ng catheter or cannula for hemodialysis, ang coverage is 9,700. If hindi ito, pakitanong na lang yong name of procedure para macheck natin, or ask mo na lang yong billing mismo ng hospital para mas accurate.
Hi Rachel, yes, covered, merong coverage amount na 9,700, merong 12, 130, merong 14,960 up to 37,180, depende sa gagawing procedure to repair hypospadias. Ask nio yong surgeon para maka-prepare kayo

Hi chedz, 7k ang coverage for febrile convulsion. Depende kung anong type of UTI, ang coverage ng UTI ay lower or higher compared sa febrile convulsion. Pero dahil sa very common at maraming diagnosis ay UTI, ang alam ko merong nire-require ang Philhealth na level ng UTI severity para ma-cover, based on lab test results.
Hi po, ung anak ko ngconvulsion and the test result says dahil may UTI xa kaya nilalagnat. Sbi ng doctor ang diagnosis n ilalagay is febrile convulsion, magkanu po ba ang philhealth deduction pag FC and UTI? tama po bang febrile convulsion ang mging diagnosis?
Hi po! Magkano po ba deduction ng philhealth for UTI case
Hi Elena, yes, pay at Philhealth. Pay for one year (2,400 pesos). Present proof that your husband is an active OFW (copy of his Balik Manggagawa, or job contract, or work visa). Bring your marriage contract in case they will require it, and your own ID. Ask for your updated MDR. You can start using your Philhealth receipt the day after you paid your Philhealth.
Hi po,ask ko po sana kung pwede pa mahulugan ung phil health ng asawa ko,OFW po xa kaso po last year d n ksama sa Bakik manggagawa ang phl health kaya wala po xa hulog,kpg nagulugan po ba ngaung buwan pwede na kaya magamit ung phil health niya for surgery operation?
hi po good day may luslos po kasi baby ko masasagot po ba yun?
Hi Jayprill, oo, magagamit mo uli ang Philhealth kasi palagay ko hindi naman loslos yong procedure na ginamitan mo noong Sep 2016. Bukod sa reason na magkaiba ang procedure, more than 90 days na ang lumipas mula noong Sep 2016. Ang 90-day rule ay kapag ma-confine uli ang member o dependent ng parehong sakit o procedure within 90 days, isang confinement lang ang mako-cover. Yong sa iyo ay hindi naman ganon, so mako-cover ang procedure to treat your child’s loslos or hernia
Hi mrs nora. ilang beses po ma avail ang philhealth benefits?nagamit ko kasi sya last sept.2016.gagamitin ko ngayon sa anak ko for his operasyon sa loslos.maka avail pa po ba ako ng benefits sa dependents?any idea po sa operasyon sa loslos.thanks po
Hi miss Nora.nalilito lng ako sana mabigyan linaw naman.schedule cs kasi ako on june 16 dito sa Visayas tacloban city.kinalitohan ko lang inwas asking for the package and sabi 70k daw lahat2x.nag ask ako if deduct na ba dyan sa philhealth sabi Oo daw.sa first baby ko sa mindanao last 2010 yung almost 80k bill ko d pa deducted ang philhealth nun so nasa mga 40k+ lng ginastos namin????
Hi Josiemhy, yes, puede na uli ma-cover ang pneumonia niya kasi lampas na sa 90-day single period of confinement rule.
Na confine po anak ko 6 months ago (october 2016) ng pneumonia and now pneumonia po ulit april 2017. Covered pa rin po ba sya? Hoping for your response
Hi Edgar, ang coverage for moderate-risk pneumonia ay 15k. For high-risk pneumonia, it’s 32k. Depende sa diagnosis ng doctor.
good day..lola ko po ay naka confine sa private hospital due to pneomonia…naka ventilator po cya.pano pa ang pag bawas sna philhealth sa bayarin?senior citizen na po sya…90 years old.
Hi conchita, sorry dahil isang sakit lang ang iko-consider ng Philhealth kung sabay — yong sakit na mas malaki ang deduction ang ide-deduct. 9k ang hypertension. 12,600 ang diabetes without coma.
hello po gud pm.my mom nasa hospital po.Ang case po niya ay hypetension 2 at diabetes .ask ko po if per case po ba ang deduction and how much po.
Hi Scarlett, depende sa sakit or surgery. Fixed amount per illness or surgery. Halimbawa pneumonia level 1. Fixed na 15k ang deduction ke malaki o mas maliit ang hospital bill.
Pag na confine po ba ang dependent. Depende po ba sa total hospital bill ang deduction?
Hi Carol Jean, yes, inclusive na. 4,500 ang doctor’s fee, at included na siya doon sa 15k na coverage.
Hi Ms Nors, Pneumonia 1 is Php15,000, inclusive Doctor’s fee po ba?
Hello..pay 2 days lang po ba na confine s hospital ang pasyente hindi na po sya covered ng philhealth..na dehydrate po sya at uti ang case
Hi Raymond, sorry hindi covered ang outpatient na diagnostic procedure kagaya ng biopsy, CT scan or MRI. Pag in-patient naman, essentially, hindi na rin mako-cover ang mga diagnostics kasi mapupunta yong coverage sa costlier treatment procedures. Pero subukan mo pa rin tanungin doon sa hospital bago ma-biopsy
Hi, my father will undergo biopsy to check if he has prostate cancer. He is 67 yo, and I believe outpatient lang po yung procedure. Is it covered by Philhealth? How much? Thanks
Hi faith, sorry, yong CT scan, kung magawa as outpatient, hindi covered. Kung admitted naman, makakasali siya sa total hospital cost, pero merong limit, depende sa kung anong operation ang gagawin.
Hi, my father has to undergo ct scan and operation . are these two cover by phlhealth?
Hi Jonaly, meron siyang Philhealth membership? At active? Sabi mo dinala nio sa drug rehab, tanungin nio yang rehab center kung Philhealth-accredited sila. Merong 10k na coverage for drug rehab for those diagnosed with acute physical symptoms of use of amphetamine-type stimulants such as methamphetamine, cocaine or ecstasy.
Hi po gusto ko pong itanong kung magagamit po ng tita ko ung for peace nya sa rehab kc pinarehab nmin po sya kc muntik. Na po kc syang mabaliw dahil sa pagamit nya ng droga.
Yung anak ko po mag undergo ng operations. Tonsillectomy at andenoidectomy at saka tonsillopharygoplasty sa isang private hospital. May hmo naman po pero magkano ang covered ng healthcard po sa ganitong operation? Per illness din po ba?
Good day. Tanong ko lng po, pwede po bang magamit ulit ang Philhealth 7 days after ma discharge nang pasyente? Nilagyan po kasi sya nang ij catheter ang mama ko at nag simula naring mag dialysis, a week after po syang ma discharge nilagnat po sya at sepsis daw po ang diagnosis. Now sabi nang kapatid ko hindi daw po pwede ang philhealth kasi daw dapat after a month daw po ang allowed bago magamit ulit ang philhealth. Salamat po
Hi, I will undergo CS this coming April,I was supposed to be operated for ovarian cyst however I requested that this be done simultaneously with my delivery. My doctor also advice that need to undergone appendectomy as well. Does the Philhealth will cover the Surgical Procedures of the following?

Hi Ma’am,
Ask ko lang po kung macocover pa ba ng philhealth yung case ng dad ko. sa first hospital po ang diagnosis ay Stroke Lacunar Infarction(28k coverage) na avail na po namin ang 19600 coverage sa hospital bill and 8400 PF fee. total of 28k. but we transferred him po sa PGH where in the diagnosis after doing MRI is basilar artery stroke. under different type of stroke sila sa philhealth if i am not mistaken. 38k po ang allotted sa hemmorhagic stroke kung saan nag fall ang basilar artery stroke. maaavail pa po ba namin ang 38k?
thank you very much for answering all our questions! such a big help for those who are in need!
gudam maam..my husband was admitted due to acute MI then he was also diagnosed for having moderate risk pneumonia..according to the philhealth representative in the hospital we could only avail the package benefits for MI and nothing for pneumonia..our bill reaches 83k excluding medicines we purchased outside which reach more or less 40k..is it right that we can’t avail the package for pneumonia?my husband needs to undergo angiogram procedure how much is the package for such procedure and how can we avail it..thank you..
Hello Maam.. Ask ko lng po sana kung magkano ho ang sagot ng philhealth for scoliosis surgery. Naka sked ho kc niece ko ng scoliosis surgery sa orthopedic hospital. 17 years old cya at voluntary member ng philhealth ang mother nya. Thank u po.
Ask ko lng po sana kung magkano ang package rate ng philhealth for scoliosis surgery. Niece ko ho kc ay na ka sked for said surgery sa orthopedic. Voluntary member lng ang mother nya at 17 years old lng ho ang niece ko.
Hi nikki, yes, covered siya kasi dependent mo siya, kahit sabay kayo, basta yong diagnosis niya ay nasa Philhealth list. Ask the nurse about the Philhealth form for your baby, or have someone ask the billing department. Yes, fixed din ang coverage, kahit higher yong contribution.
hi po. itatanong ko lang po sana kung maccover po ba ng philhealth ung confinement ng baby ko due to infection(high white blood cell).kaka’cs ko lang po nung 14, then feb15 po naconfine na po xa.. magkano po kaya ung deduction ng philhealth para po sa ganong case?
fixed din po ba ung deduction kahit mas malaki po ung contribution?
salamat po..
Hi Cherrey, doon ba sa bill, walang Philhealth deduction for PF? If none, wait for the benefit payment notice from Philhealth, and check the allocation for PF, then present it to the hospital for refund, including all hospital docs. Pero it’s sad that many hospitals do not refund, at sasabihin nila dagdag pa yong galing sa Philhealth para sa PF ng doctor. Try nio lang.
Hi po. ask lang po ako. My husband po had undergone herniorraphy. But we had paid separately the doctor professional fee in cash. Possible po ba na mareinbursed po yung binayad sa doctor?

Thanks.
Hi lolita, sorry pero fixed ang coverage ng Philhealth at maliit lang na portion ang iko-cover compared sa total bill. Tanungin dapat sa doctor at hospital kung magkano ang total bill after Philhealth deduction para maka-decide ang family. Tanungin din kung merong PCSO liaison officer ang hospital para ma-estimate kung magkano ang mahihingi sa PCSO kung mag-apply for assistance. Take care and prayers for you for strength

Hi mik, sorry konti lang ang mababawas compared to the total bill. Isang procedure lang ang iko-cover ng Philhealth at malamang it’s hysterectomy kasi it’s the costlier procedure. Philhealth’s coverage for abdominal hysterectomy is 30k lang (12k for doctor and 18k for hospital costs). Yong senior citizen ID ay makakakuha ng discount doon lang sa certain medicines. If you decide so, you can ask other hospitals or surgeons or ob-gynes.
hi po for operation kasi ang mother ko, hysterectomy and removal of cyst on the left side. sabi ng doctor around 150-170k ang magagastos, she has phil health and senior citizen ID. Gusto ko lng po malamaan if how much kaya ang discount na mababawas. salamat po

hi po ask lang pokung magkano po ang mababawas ng philhealth sa operation ng scoliosis
Hi Quennie, sorry I’m not sure of the amount. I can see only these 2 on the list: Excision of tongue lesion – coverage is 9,300. Excision of cyst or abscess – coverage is 5680. It’s better that you ask the billing dept. It’s most likely that you will pay the whole PF of your specialist doctor because you’re choosing him. It’s also a common practice among government hospitals to have the patient buy supplies or meds before the surgery if these are not available at the hospital. If this is the case there, have your receipts in your complete name and keep copies.
Hi I am a dependent of my husband. I opted to have my surgery in a government hospital in Cebu Vicente Sotto Hospital. It’s to remove a mass or tumor in my tongue. How much should I expect to be deducted from my bill? And If I will choose my own specialist doctor, will Philhealth pay them as well? I am sure they will ask for a separate Professional fee too.Thanks.
my father diagnosed with kidney stone and referred by doctor for operation and adviced to prepare 50k pesos. my father is a senior citizen and our family cannot afford for that amount, and my question is… is there anyway that my father be operated for free? thanks! please!
Hello Rowena,
Hello, ang brother ko po ay nagdadialyis at nung 2016 naubos na po ung 90 sessions sa Philhealth. Naconfine po sya last December 2016 at malaki po ang naging bill nila sa hospital dahil hindi na binawasan ng Philhealth dahil ubos na raw po sa dialyis. Tama po ba yun? Thanks in advance for your reply.

hi, nakaconfine po ako mag 3 days na. measles lang pala, ang problema ko po yung private duty nurse or special nurse ang mahal, hindi pa covered ng HMO ko, macocover po ba yun ng philhealth if ever?
Hi yhen, fixed ang Philhealth deductions, depending on the illness. At isang illness lang ang kino-cover, yong more expensive. Kung UTI yong mas costly, at UTI during pregnancy ang diagnosis, 4k ang coverage (2,800 sa hospital; 1,200 sa doctor). Kapag admissible UTI ang diagnosis, 7,500 ang coverage.
hi
na confine ako for 2days due to pre term labor and infection sa uti.. ilang percent kaya ma dededuct sa total bill ko..kompleto naman kami ng naipasa sa philhealth bago p ako ma admit nasa 15k n kc ang bill nmin.
thanks
Hi Rosalie, your sister can avail of 90 sessions of hemodialysis per year, with a coverage of 2,600 pesos per session (equivalent to 2,600 x 90 sessions = 234k pesos per year. Yong hindi ma-cover ng 2,600, yon ang babayaran ninyo. Covered pa rin siya for confinements for other illnesses if needed (45 days per year), with fixed coverages depending on the diagnosis. Find a clinic offering a Philhealth dialysis package na konti na lang ang idagdag ninyo.
If it’s peritoneal dialysis, every 4 days of dialysis is equivalent to 1 day na ibabawas sa 90-day allowance per year. The insertion of the cannula has a separate coverage.
Some info here: Hemodialysis
may sister is undergoing dailysis what are the benifits covered by philhealth?
Hi question lang po. My father was diagnosed na may high risk pneumonia. Pero naintubate siya and naconfine ng 9 days.yung fixed rate lang ba ng pneumonia ang mababawas sa bill namin? Or may ibang rate yun pag naintubate sya. Thank you and Godbless.

Thank you.
Yum po bang pelvic laparoscopy ay kabilang sa hysterectomy? Magkano po ba ang benefits na pwede para sa pelvic laparoscopy?
Good morning po!..nahospital po anak ko ngayon..And findings po is pneumonia and amoebiasis..magkano po ang philhealth nyan?
Hi Mario, how did you know it’s not included? Did the doctor or hospital say it’s excluded? If you haven’t asked yet, ask the doctor or hospital. I can’t search the Case Rate list because I don’t know the exact name of the procedure done. I can’t see “brain injury” or “cerebral hematoma” in the list
HOW ABOUT IN CASE OF ACCIDENT RELATED INJURIES LIKE CEREBRAL HEMATROMA or any brain injuries WHICH NEED AN IMMEDIATE NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURE TO REMOVE THE CLOT.
. SINCE THIS IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR SURGICAL CASE RATES , CAN THIS BE CONSIDERED AS AN OPTION.
Hi David Ken Toca, yes, dependent nio ang mga anak nio kasi minors pa lang sila. Sino sa inyo ang merong Philhealth, puedeng dependent niya ang mga anak nio. Ipa-update lang sa Philhealth ang MDR nio para maisulat ang names nila as dependents sa MDR. Bring their birth certificates (original and xerox). If both of you have Phihealth, mamili na lang kayo kung sino ang ipapa-update. Yon na lang madaling ipa-update. Kahit naka-confine na, puede pang ipa-update, or ask the hospital kung puedeng birth certificate muna ang i-present nio.

Hi Mr. Julie, sorry I can’t find varicose veins in the Philhealth’s Case Rate lists. Neither the words sclerotherapy or vascular surgery. Anyway, here’s how to file your claim for overseas confinements.
Hi Karen, coverage is 7,500 (2,250 for PF; 5,250 for hospital cost). UTI should be admissible, meaning merong mga symptoms na dapat talagang for confinement ang severity ng UTI)
Hi Ma Jovelyn, coverage for tonsillectomy is 18,000 (8,400 for PF and 9,600 for hospital cost)

Coverage po ba ng philhealth ang operation for ovary????
Hi Aisadel, puedeng 6k, 6100 or 12800. See this: Philhealth coverage for Gastritis
Good pm po.. inquire lang pobof mgkano ang case rate ng gastritis?
Hi Esperanza, mas mabuti pa ang company na hindi nagbabawas ng Philhealth kesa company na nagde-deduct pero hindi naman nagre-remit. Sana sinabihin na lang kayo na mag-register as Individual Payors. Ang coverage ng gastroenteritis ay 6k. Dapat bayaran ng company mo ang 6k kasi yan ang babayaran ng Philhealth kung naka-file ka sana. Walang regulation na 20%. Saan nila pinulot yong rule na yon? Okay, kung tatawad yong company, pinaka-minimum na dapat yong hospital cost na 4,200, kasi sure na sure yon na binabawas sa hospital kung merong Philhealth. Meron kasing ibang hospitals, yong PF (1,800), hindi binabawas sa bill, dinadagdag sa bayad sa doctor or sa hospital mismo, dahil matagal daw magbayad ang Philhealth.
I hope makahanap ka ng ibang company. Kumusta naman ang SSS nio? Puede ring mag-file ng SSS sickness benefit kung wala ka nang sick leave, at kung nag-leave ka ng at least 4 days. Required na rin that all companies file their Sickness and Maternity Benefit Payment thru Banks form para maka-file ng sickness or maternity benefits ang mga employees.
Hi po. Ako po si espie. Na confine ako last oct 28 to 29,2016. Employed po ako pero abg lumabas sa info ng hospital ay NO contributions and self employed. 17 months na akong employed and nag deduct na sa akin every month. Gastroenteritis ang diagnosis sa akin. Nagbayad ako ng 6k sa hopsital. wala daw po makukuha sa philhealth.sabi sa company ay 20% lang ang pde mabalik sa akin. Tama po ba un?
salamat.
Hi eleanor, yes, puede. Kung gamitin mo this month of Nov, ang receipt na gamitin mo is any payment for any 3 months within June to Nov.
Puede ko po bang mgamit uli ang philhealt ko sa panganay ko since nagamit ko po last april 2016 sa bunso ko?
Hi clarita, yes, puede. Ang coverage for myomectomy is 23,300 pesos (12,600 for Hospital and 10,700 for PF). Ask your surgeon how much you will pay if you use Philhealth.
Hi Reylin, sorry I’m not sure kung yang type of warts mo ay covered. Ang coverage for removal of FLAT WARTS OR MOLLUSCUM CONTAGIOSUM, MILIA, ALL LESIONS is only 5,680 pesos (pag hospital) at 3976 pag clinic. Ito ang documents required for overseas treatments. File within 180 days from discharge.
Hi Douglas, sorry, I can’t see MRI on the coverage list, and based on comments on this blog from patients, Philhealth does not cover a lot of outpatient diagnostic tests, like MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, etc.
For hospitalization, the SOP is for you to submit your Philhealth MDR and premium payment receipt and claim form 1 to the hospital so the coverage can be deducted from the bill before discharge. Ask the hospital too
Hi, good afternoon Mrs Nora, Ask ko lang po pag nag pa opera ba ng myoma sa private hospital m pwede ko ba gamitin ang senior philhealth ko?

Hi, ask ko lang po kapag operation ng ankle fracture ang bali ng buto. How much po kaya yung rates?. Ooperahan m po kasi ako ng 2nd week ng nov. Thank u po
Covered ba ng philhealth ang CT scan or MRI kung may 1 day confinement??
Hi Juliana, sorry for the delayed reply. And sorry hindi sagot ng Philhealth ang ultrasound at CT scan. Dapat punta sa hospital na Philhealth-accredited. Fixed amount ang sagot ng Philhealth sa bawat kind of illness, ke naospital ka sa public o sa private, sa mas mura o sa mahal. Present your Philhealth MDR and premium receipt upon admission. Fill up the claim form.
Ang aking ina po ay GSIS pensioner,subalit tila walang gsis accredited na ospital d2 sa Laguna.

Maraming salamat po agarang tugon.
Hi Grace, puedeng magamit uli ang Philhealth kahit confined for the same illness kasi more than 90 days na ang lumipas since last May. Ang 90-day single period of confinement rule ay ganito: isang Philhealth coverage lang ang magamit kapag na-ospital uli within 90 days.

Hi Cjay, yes, legit yon, kasi website nila. But you still need to go to Philhealth with your ID and get your MDR and card, if available. The hospital requires MDR and premium receipt.
Hi joyce, kung consultation lang, hindi covered. Pag ma-confine ang coverage for nephrolithiasis is only 4,000 (2,800 for hospital costs and 1,200 for PF)

Hi shella, ang coverage for CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE ay 11,600 (3,480 for pf; 8,120 for hospital costs). Ang for newborn sepsis ay 11,700 (3,510 for pf and 8,190 for hospital cost). Usually isang illness lang ang kino-cover; merong exceptions pero hindi ko alam kung exception ang 2 illnesses na ito. Tanungin nio sa billing.

hi po, yung anak ko po may blood sepsis and may congenital heart disease, mga magkano po kaya madededuct sa hospital bill po namin.?
Hi May, yes, pareho lang ang coverages sa private and government hospitals, basta hospital ang category at hindi primary health care facility or emergency clinic.
Hi Jhen, I checked uli yong coverage ng typhoid fever sa Philhealth list at 10,000 nga. So tama yong hospital na 10k ang coverage. Ewan kung bakit 14,000 ang nasa post ko noon. At yong mga other online articles din, ang coverage is 14k. Baka binabaan nila. Pneumonia at asthma ang alam ko na dapat 4 days ang confinement. Sorry hindi ko sure pag typhoid fever at hindi ko makita yong qualifications sa typhoid fever. Pero dapat ang result ng widal test or typhidot test ay typhoid fever diagnosis.
Hi Cha, yes, kapag naospital ka in the 3rd month of the quarter at kapag nagbayad ka ng premium a day before naospital ka. Halimbawa, nabayaran mo ang July Aug Sep kahapon or days before pa, then naospital ka ngayon na September, yes, puede kang macover. Ang sitwasyon na hindi ka macover ay halimbawa hindi mo nabayaran ang Apr to June at kababayad mo ng July to Sep, then naospital ka July or August, hindi ka pa macover. Ang rule is premium payment of at least 3 months within the past 5 months including current month.
Hi miss Nora.nabasa ko din po dito na basahin dapat ang waiver.kahapon po sa kalituhan eh pirma at fill up lang ako sa mga form.Hindi ko na nkita kung may waiver dun.isang pagkakmali po.pero kung sakali nga po na NASA waiver pala yung 10000 na unang sinabi sa akin na cover para sa typhoid f.any po ang maaari Kong gawin?maraming salamat po
Hi miss Nora.ask ko lang po,naadmit po kahapon anak ko 2 Yrs old thypoid fever result.nagtanong po ako sa hospital ng maaring coverage ng Phil health sa ganitong case,ang sabi po eh 10000.ask ko lang po 4days confinement din po ba para macover ng philhealth?14000 po nakita ko na maaring macover tama po ba, in case lang po na 10,000 ang ideduct ng hospital anu po ang dapat gawin?salamat po
Gudday, ask ko lng po if mgagamit po b ang philhealth if nahospitalize khit bgo p lng nghuhulog?
Hi! Are these rates also applicable to private hosp? Thanks
Thanks a lot.
Hi Karen Joy, siguro para makatipid, puede naman sa ward na lang, kasi sa operating room din naman siya nate-treat, para lang mapababa yong bill. Ang bill kasi depende rin sa room. Mas mura ang mga hospital costs kapag nasa ward ang patient. Ang Philhealth’s coverage naman ay pareho lang, ke nasa ward o nasa semi-private ang patient. Merong Z benefit ang certain orthopedic implants; tanungin nio sa doctor o sa hospital kung puede sa case ng papa mo.
Hi Mia, coverage for Hysteroscopy, surgical; with sampling (biopsy) of endometrium and/or polypectomy, with or without D&C is 12,900 (6,300 for PF and 6,600 for hospital expense). Covered naman siguro kasi yong biopsy is for diagnosis and polypectomy is for treatment. Pero ask mo rin yong hospital kasi the same part of the body is involved.
Hi Mss. Nora, tanong ko lang po kung magkano po case rate package ng hyteroscopic-guided polypectomy? Makakaavail pa bo ba ako sa package kahit nakapag avail na ako ng 11k last month for biopsy? Thanks in advance.
Hi john kenneth, coverage for newborn sepsis is 11,700 (3,510 for PF and 8,190 for hospital costs), For perinatal/congenital pneumonia, it’s 12,700 (3,810 for PF and 8890 for hospital costs). If it’s diagnosed as moderate pneumonia, it’s 15k; it’s 32k for high-risk pneumonia, but I think these are for adults, as the causes listed are usually experienced by adults. But sad to say, isa lang ang coverage na ibibigay, usually yong higher. I hope your baby gets well quickly.
hai im john keneth my baby was born premature 27weeks sya at nasa NICU…and dependent ko po cya sa philheath and na diagnose po xa nang neonatal sepsis and pneumonia ..mgkano po bah ang case rate due to his condition…
Hi Ms nOra, Ask ko lang po. Yung papa ngkaroon ng vehicular accident. Kelangan dw operahan at lagyan ng stainless yung paa nya. Ano po ang at magkano po ang maccover ng philhealth dito. Government hospital po cya naka confine. Cover din po ba kung mag avail ng semi private room? Thanks.
Hi Abigail, yes, covered siya as your dependent. I hope nag-file ka na ng another Philhealth claim form for your baby. Ang coverage for newborn sepsis is 11,700 (3,510 for PF and 8,190 for hospital expenses)
hi po magandang araw. Nais ko lang po itanong at malaman kasi po ako po ay Nanganak noong August 30,2016 at ang aking anak ay nakaconfine hanggang ngayon sa NICU. Tanong ko lang po kung macocovered po ba ang aking anak since may philhealth po ako at inilagay ko po sya as dependent dun sa form na binigay ng hospital? At magkano po b ang macocovered kung ang diagnosis po ay BACTERIAL SEPSIS OF A NEW BORN?
Sana po ay inyong masagot ang aking katanungan.
Maraming salamat po.
Hi Jessa, how much was your total bill? PF and hospital expenses? Coverage for appendectomy is 24,000 (14,400 pesos for hospital expenses and 9,600 pesos for PF). Ang practice ng HMO is they pay the balance after Philhealth is deducted. Kung 14k ang nadeduct, your HMO will pay the balance, up to 150k lang. Kung kulang pa rin yong 150k, you pay the kulang.
Meron namang HMO na alam nila na ang coverage ng appendectomy is 24k, so ang gagawin nila, total bill minus 24k, then babayaran nila yong balance. Halimbawa nagkasya naman yong 150k, so ok lang sa kanila, at ikaw na ang magbayad doon sa 10k na hindi deducted sa bill. You can refund this from Makati Med. Ask them why the PF portion was not deducted.
Hi. Good Afternoon! I had my laparoscopic appendectomy procedure sa Makati Medical Center, pero ang na cover lang ni Philhealth is 14,000 pesos. Tama po ba yun? Paano po ba ang computation nun kasi may HMO din ako w/c is 150K. First time ko sya magamit and nag exceed ako sa limit. Please help. Thanks.
Hi Jc, there should be a definite diagnosis and treatment. Kapag puro diagnosis lang, o suspected lang yong diagnosis, at walang ginawang treatment, hindi ico-cover ng Philhealth. I hope she’ll get well na.
Hi Armie, wait nio na lang yong benefit payment notice from Philhealth via postal mail para makita nio how much was paid for hospital costs and how much was for PF. Kapag ang ibinayad ng Philhealth for hospital cost ay more than 6,908, meron pa kayong marefund sa hospital. Ano ba ang diagnosis? I’ll check if it’s in the Case Rate list.
Meron po kmi nabili na mga gamit at meds sa labas worth of 2456.00 and ang bill po namin sa hospital na nacover philhealth is 6,908.the package benefit was 11,700.anu po marerefund namin. Thanks po.
Hi. My mom is confined at the hospital for almost a week. Until now there is no specific diagnosis.. ahe underwent duplex scanning for veins and arteries. The doctor said that it is connected to a heart problem. How much will philhealth cover
Hi april, yes, dapat nade-deduct yong Philhealth’s PF coverage from the PF sa hospital bill. Pero usual practice kasi ng mga hospitals or doctors na singilin ng cash yong PF. Ask the hospital kung puede niong i-refund later on yong PF na hindi na-deduct sa bill. You will see how much Philhealth paid the hospital when you receive your benefit payment notice from Philhealth via postal mail.
Hi Rina, emailed you.
Ask ko lang kc my brother ngdialysis cya sa nkti. Kso wla pa kc cya updated mdr kya di pa nagamit philhealth. He just came back from saudi. Sa monday dialysis ulit cya pro malamang wla pa dn mdr dahil weekend na. Ask ko pwede pba cya mkpagrefund pag nkakuha na cya mdr nya?

Hi violeta, coverage for neuroplasty of major peripheral nerve, arm or leg or brachial plexus, or suture of brachial plexus is 20,980 (10,080 for PF and
10,900 for the hospital).
Ask ko lng po ano pong case rate sa philhealth ang brachial plexus pa opera po kasi ang asawa ko gusto ko lang po malaman nasa 60,000 po kasi kailangan nmin
Hi erick, kung 2 days lang, mga quick surgery. Yong ibang illnesses, usually more than 2 days din naco-confine. although walang minimum na 4 days. Hindi lang naman pneumonia yong strict sila; pati dengue, asthma, diarrhea, UTI. Merong requirements like blood count, treatment used, etc. Although I’ve just read that Duterte has instructed something about this rule in Davao due to lack of hospital space.
anong sakit po b ng bata ang cover ng philheath na 2 days na naconfine lang?
Hi Armie, meron ba kayong biniling meds and supplies sa labas ng hospital? Puede ninyo itong ma-refund (partial or full) kung hindi lahat nagamit ang coverage sa gastusin sa hospital. Wait for the benefit payment notice from Philhealth. Pero kung wala kayong nabili sa labas, wala na kayong mare-refund, kasi wala naman kayong nagasto sa loob o sa labas — meaning nasagot na ng Philhealth lahat.
Hi erick, ang alam ko ang Philhealth policy is covered lang ang pneumonia kapag at least 4 days na na-confine. 15k ang coverage ng pneumonia 1.
Good Day! Ask ko lang po na admit anak ko kahapon lang Aug. 26 ng hapon..gusto ko na po sana syang ilabas ng ospital bukas Aug. 28.findings daw po ay pneumonia sabi ng pedia..macover po ba ng philhealth kahit 2days lang na admit at magkno po charge ng philhealth?
Hi po ask q lang po anu ano po marerefund namin sa philhealth my son was hospitalized last august 17,2016 and diagnosed as blood sepsis.wala po kami binayaran hospital bill dahil nacover po cia ng philhealth q.
Thank you po Ms. Nora! Itatanong ko ndn po sa billing pra po ms mging clear dn smin.. Salamat po ult!
Hi glenn, sad to say, kapag more than one procedures or illnesses within the same confinement, isa lang ang kino-cover ng Philhealth, usually yong mas expensive. Ang exceptions lang dito ay yong dialysis, chemo and other surgeries na puedeng second-case rate. Wala sa second-case rate list yong cystectomy at appendectomy.
Yong whether indigent or employed, pareho-pareho lang ang benefit, kahit anong member category, ke dependent or OFW or non-working wife. Kung yong claim form at MDF ng spouse nio ay employed ang category niya at pumirma ang employer sa claim form at nagbigay kayo ng employer’s cert of Philhealth premium contributions, dapat employed ang category niya. Para sure and clear, puede kayong magtanong sa billing kung bakit isang Philhealth deduction lang. Dapat naman ma-explain nila.
Hi Ms. Nora! chineck ko ung hospital bill, 23300 ung nacover ng philhealth.. sa pgkakaalam ko un ay pra dun sa cystectomy tama po ba?kasi nga po my appendectomy pa sya listed dn nmn dun sa medical abstract.. pa help nmn po ano dpat nmin gwin.. my mrerefund pa po ba kmi? thanks sa mgging responce!
Good pm po! Nahospitalize po asawa ko (cystectomy and appendectomy) kaya lang po tingin ko medyo maliit yung philhealth deduction nya about 23k po.. nagtataka ako bakit classified sya as indigent even though employed sya at working for 8 yrs.. malaki naging hospital bill nag range ng mga 170-180k.. may mali po ba don? thanks!
Hi jenny, ang total cost ay depende yan sa OB surgeon at sa hospital. Sorry wala akong estimate. Magtanung-tanong ka sa mga hindi expensive na hospitals. Yong OB na kausap mo, puede mong tanungin magkano po cash out ko if I use Philhealth? Philhealth coverage for ovarian cyst removal: 23,300 pesos ang total coverage for cystectomy (12,600 for PF and 10,700 for the hospital)
Hi Rosalina, coverage is 20,980 (10,080 for PF and 10,900 for the hospital)

Good day!
My husband will undergo knee arthroscopy,and it cost alot..may i ask if covered by philhealth and how much?
thank you so much,ms nora!looking forward for your reply..Godbless!
Hi Chona, sorry I’m not so sure. Yong single period of confinement rule kasi says na kapag “the same illness or procedure” within 90 days, isang confinement lang ang ma-cover. These 2 procedures are different (have different codes), pero parang the same illness, kasi they involve the same organ, the uterus. Pero ask mo pa rin yong hospital para sure, and so you can prepare. I hope you can share later on, if you have time, kung covered, and thanks a lot.
Good Morning Ms. Nora. Ask ko lang po. Nagpa-hysteroscopy myomectomy po ako last July 5, 2016. Tapos nakaschedule ako for hysteretomy ng August 19, 2016. Di pa rin kase tumigil ung bleeding. Nagamit ko na ung Philhealth nung first operation. Me makukuha pa rin ba ako for the hysterectomy operation? Thanks in advance po sa help.
Hi SHIENA, yes, you can use your own Philhealth for this confinement kasi ibang illness naman. And you can use again your Philhealth when you give birth dahil ibang case naman ang child delivery. Ang single period of confinement rule na kung saan isang confinement lang ang puedeng ma-cover ay kung ma-confine ka within 90 days because of THE SAME illness or treatment.
About using your husband’s Philhealth: You use your Philhealth kasi member ka; hindi ka puedeng dependent at the same time a member.
At kung halimbawa lang puedeng gamitin ang husband’s Philhealth for THE SAME illness within 90 days, hindi rin ma-cover yong second confinement kasi THE SAME illness pa rin yong patient.
I’m pregnant po ngayon at 37 weeks po, naconfine po ako nung june 14 ng 2 days dahil po sa nag pre-labor ako. nagamit ko po yung philhealth ko nun. And then, ngayon po need ko ulit ma-confine dahil naman po sa uti as result po ng urinary culture na di daw po makukuha ng oral medication, ask ko lang po kung pwede ko po ba ulit gamitin ang philhealth ko? o pwede ko po kaya gamitin yung sa mister ko kung hindi na po pwede yung sakin. at magagamit ko pa po ba yung sakin pag nanganak na po ako?
Hi Ailene, nagamit mo pa naman sana yong Philhealth mo para sa kanya as your husband. Puede mo siyang dependent. Just update your data at Philhealth with your ID and marriage cert (orig and xerox). Try to get documents from the hospital so you can reimburse directly from Philhealth. Hindi na pinapayagan ang direct filing sa Philhealth, since 2014 pa yata, pero try mo lang kung acceptable yong reason mo. Or puede ring you talk to the hospital na they file your Philhealth claim for you, with your Philhealth docs, and then refund from them kapag nagbayad na ang Philhealth sa kanila.
Na ESWL po husband ko last Aug 2, nagcash napo kmi since na maxout na po un health card nya as my dependent. Makapag reimburse po ba ako? Dti syang member but cancelled un knyang status dhil wla sya work.
Hi dondon, most likely yong 3,500 ay bayad doon sa room, kasi sabi mo ang coverage ng insurance ay regular room, pero dahil naka-family room, you had to pay the difference between the costs of the regular and family rooms. Ask mo na lang yong health insurer nio.
Ang standard procedure talaga ay i-deduct muna ang Philhealth, kasi usually nasa health insurance policy yan, na hindi nila ico-cover yong Philhealth coverage. Usually yong HMO mismo nire-remind ang patients to file their Philhealth early. Merong ngang mga cases na yong patient na merong HMO (through their children) ay binabayaran yong Philhealth coverage kasi they forgot to pay their Philhealth premiums.
Sad to say, yong senior citizen discount, alam din ng health insurer yan, so siempre pinapa-deduct muna nila ito bago sila magbayad. Ang argument ng HMO is itong discount for senior citizen ay deduction sa bill, so hindi babayaran ng HMO. Pero ask your HMO para mas clear.
good day po.. need help po ako regarding sa bill ng papa ko. senior citizenna po siya may Philhealth at may life and health insurance pa. noong naospital siya ngkabill siya ng 55,000 at ang nabayaran lng namin ay 3,500. nadeduct na discount senior citizen, Philhealth at yung health insurance nya. kaso ngtaka papa ko nung nalaman may nabayaran ako kasi daw tatlong beses na siya naospital sa kabilang ospital ni piso wala siya nabayaran. nung tiningnan ko yung billing statement unang kinaltas ay ang senior discount tapos ang Philhealth last ang health insurance. pero kung babaliktarin ang proseso unahin ang health insurance ng papa ko na 150,000package lalabas na matitira excess ay ang room accomodation kasi nka family room si papa at regular lng coverage ng insurance nya. siguro tung excess pwd ikaltas doon ang senior discount at Philhealth nya para wala na talaga kami nabayaran baka kasi yunang ginawa ng kabilang ospital kay tatlong beses siyang wlang nabayaran.. Ano po tamang proseso ng pgcompute ng mga ospital sa mga deductions kung senior citizen may Philhealth at health insurance pa po..?
Hi, ask ko lang if philhealth covered laryngitis.and how much po cover ng philhealth. Tnx
Hi Cristine, is your mother-in-law 60 years old or older? Does she have disability, as certified by a doctor? Kasi puede lang siyang dependent if 60 years old or older or has certified disability. But to be sure, ask the hospital’s Philhealth department.
hi, my mother in law was admitted at ICU yesterday..she is not a philhealth member..but my husband(he’s son) is a philhealth member..but his mdr is not updated..
if ever ba na ma update namin mamaya..automatically covered ba yung mother in law ko?..thanks
Hi Betsy, isa lang sa Philhealth nio ang puedeng gamitin. Bring the birth certificate to support the MDR. Some hospitals will require the MDR to be updated, meaning the baby’s name is written in the MDR as dependent, but other hospitals accept birth certificate as supporting document. The coverage for newborn sepsis is 11,700 (3,510 for PF and 8,190 for the hospital).
Hi! Our 2 weeks old baby was readmitted after giving birth to him via c. Section.. it was septicemia due to a raoultella ornithinolytica. Ano pong benefit pwede naming makuha kami pong dalawa ng husband ko ay parehong philhealh members po. Salamat
My 2 weeks old baby was re admit due to septicemia cause by raoultella ornithinolytica. Anong benefit po namin sa philhealth… both me and my husband were philheath members po..
Hi Edralin, sorry po hindi po covered ang outpatient CT scan or MRI, kasi diagnostic procedure siya at outpatient pa. Most cases na covered ay dapat confined at merong diagnosis and treatment na nagawa (except outpatient chemo, radiotherapy, dialysis, day surgeries, TB, and animal bite). Please ask others too para sure na sure
Ask ko lang po kung cover ng philhealth ang ct scan or Mri. Kung sa pilipinas o sa abroad magpapa ct scan or Mri . Covered po ba sya parehas? Please I need the answer.
Hi jenny, sent you an email.
Hi Mark, sorry pero sana before treatment, tinanong mo yong eye doctor kung puede mong gamitin ang Philhealth, so you could have known if he/she was Philhealth-accredited and if the eye clinic was Philhealth-accredited. Philhealth’s policy is it should be the doctor and clinic that will file the claim, and they will deduct Philhealth coverage from the bill. If you like to pursue this, you can visit the clinic and ask what to do so you can avail of your Philhealth benefit. This will only be viable if the clinic is Philhealth-accredited at papayag sila na i-file yong sa yo kahit tapos na ang procedure.
About the coverage amount, sorry hindi ko ma-pinpoint ang exact procedure na na-perform sa iyo from the long Philhealth list. Walang retinal tear, or focal laser treatment. God bless too
Good morning mrs nora, ako po ay na diagnose ng retinal tear sa mata. At nag undergo ng focal laser treatment. Itatanong ko lang po sana kung magkano ang benefits na maaring ma reimburse sa akin ng philhealth. Maraming salamat po and Godbless.

Magkanu po ba coverage ng philhealth diagnosis po acute tonsillo pharyngitis.
thanks po sa reply.
Hi retchel, room sa hospital? Sorry pero most likely hindi puede. Kelangang merong doctor na willing mag-admit sa brother mo, either yong consulting doctor or ER doctor, at dapat meron reason bakit ma-admit. Sa Philhealth naman, covered kapag confined at least 24 hours and then merong diagnosis at merong ginawang treatment. Kung diagnostic procedures lang ang ginawa, hindi ma-cover. So hospitalization na talaga na merong name of illness at treatment na maco-cover, at hindi na lang 1 day or 2 days, mas costly na, at hindi naman lahat covered ng Philhealth. Meron lang fixed na coverage sa specific illness o treatment. For your brother’s MRI, biopsy and CT scan, meron naman palagay ko social services dept ang VSMMC para puede mong kausapin to get a discount. God bless you din.
hi po. ask ko LNG po.wat if kukuha nlng kmi ng room.kc out patient po bro. ko need niya mag undergo ng Ct scan, MRI at needle biopsy for soft tissue neoplasm in left arm. malayo kc sa anim ang hospital 4hrs. po biyahe. Pag ganyan po b covered n b ng Phil Heath. ct scan 3600 .. biopsy is 1700 MRI scan is 16000. thanks po wait for your reply. god bless u
Hi retchel, sorry, ang alam ko hindi covered ang outpatient MRI and biopsy as diagnostic procedures. Included lang ang mga ito pag confined for treatment, but usually, dahil ang Philhealth coverage ay maliit compared sa total hospital bill, parang hindi rin covered ang mga diagnostic tests like MRI. Ask the hospital. And ask for assistance from your city hall (offices ng councillors). Show doctor’s MRI prescription.
hi. ask ko po kung cover b ng philhealth ang MRi and biopsy for soft tissue neoplasm. MRI is worth 16thou. what should we do we don’t have enough money for that. after MRI the require next test biopsy. Vicente sotto memorial medical center

Coverage of amputation of the foot is 23,300 (12,600 for PF and 10,700 for hospital cost). The coverage is the same whether the member is sponsored or employed. I hope you’re in a government hospital so that the hospital cost is more affordable.

Hi Diana, it’s only 1,260 (840 for PF, 420 for hospital expense). Find a small hospital or clinic offering Philhealth package for circumcision.
Hi Jean, sorry I don’t know the actual costs. 16,800 will cover meds, room, operation, anesthesia, supplies. If the total exceeds 16,800, you pay the rest. The same with the 21k PF. Usually, the PF coverage is not enough for the doctors. Sometimes they specify cash. Talk with the doctor if they have a Philhealth package. The 20% discount for seniors is only applied to certain medicines, not to the whole bill.
Hello po ulit. How much do they normally charge (full amt.)for transurethral microwave thrmotheraphy or TUMT ?

Only 6 hospitals are accredited: National Kidney and Transplant Institute at East Avenue, QC; UP-PGH Taft Ave., Manila; Vicente Sotto Memorial Med center in Sambag II, Cebu City; Northern Mindanao Med Ctr in Cagayan de Oro City; Souther Philippines Med Ctr in Davao City; Davao Regional Hosp in Tagum, Davao del Norte
how can we avail of the z package. my brother needs a kidney transplant and and treatment for his eye disease. He needs an injection in his right eye once a month for three months and it cost 80,000 pesos per session. Please help.
Hi Lea, usually the notice is sent within a month to 3 months. Were you confined at a government hospital where you bought meds/supplies outside the hospital? Because if you were confined in a private hospital, your Philhealth coverage should have been deducted from your bill before discharge. Or were you referring to a possible PF refund? About another surgery within 90 days from last Philhealth use, yes, the second one can be covered as long as it’s a different illness being treated and you have not consumed your 45-day allowance per year.
Hi Adelyn, sorry I’m not sure. You need to ask the hospital, as most coverages require confinement of at least 24 hours. Coverage for colonoscopy
Hello po. Does Philhealth cover out patient colonoscopy and biopsy po for senior citizens
Hi Joy, yes, if you go to a government hospital and an OB that offers No Balance billing for tubal ligation.
Usually how long does it takes to receive the payment notice of payment in the mail? That’s the only time I can reimburse after I receive the notice, right? And one more question po, I plan to have surgery for my Lipoma. Can I use my philhealth after I’ve just used it? How much is the deduction if ever? Thank you so much!
Hi po If I’d be ligated, will it be full coverage by philhealth?
Hi jham, I don’t know if this is the surgery you’re asking about: Code 33641 — Repair of atrial septal defect, secundum, w/ cardiopulmonary bypass, w/ or w/o patch. Coverage is
46,500 (25,200 for PF and 21,300 for hospital expenses). Ask your doctor/hospital the total cost so you can prepare. Those who have commented here complained their surgeons preferred cash and did not issue receipts. If the bill is too big, you can ask help from PCSO with assistance from the hospital’s social service dept.
Tanong ko lang po magkano po ang sakop ng phil health sa congenital heart disease,ASD secundum (open heart surgery).
Hi Lea, yes, it’s possible. It will depend on the hospital’s policy, but that PF coverage should have been deducted outright from the bill. Attach the benefit payment notice from Philhealth to your hospital statement, bill and OR. Keep your own copy. You claim from the hospital, as the hospital is the one who will receive money from philhealth
If we can get a receipt from his dr. That we pay 50k for the PF, is it possible that we can still get the 12400 refund from PF?Thanks.
Hi Lea, that’s really really sad. But that’s not unique. That’s the practice of many doctors, based on comments on our blogs. Doctors even ask the patient to pay their 10%-15% tax if the patient insists on getting a receipt. I don’t know how you can refund because you don’t have a receipt to show. You soon will receive a mailed benefit payment notice from Philhealth. See what’s written there, then you can go to the hospital and ask if you can refund that 12,400 but they will ask for the receipt. tell them the doctor didn’t issue a receipt. Of course they know this practice.
My husband had a cholecystectomy. philhealth deduction was 18600 but for the PF, the doctor asked us to pay directly and were not given a receipt. he asked for 50k. For the hospital, the remaining balance was 800, after the philhealth deduction. How can we refund the remaining 12400 from philhealth as we paid the full 50k? Thanks po
Hi JAna, please see this: Philhealth Coverage for Cholecystectomy
Hello po. How much is the coverage for laparoscopic cholecystectomy please?

Hi Ashley, CS coverage is 19,000 (11,400 for hospital and 7,600 for PF). There’s also 1,750 for newborn care for your baby if you filled up another claim form for your baby and they provided covered newborn care. Did your OB tell you that Philhealth coverage was already included in your package? Meaning for example her usual package is 60k, and you paid 41k? 60k minus 19k? You can try emailing actioncenter@philhealth.gov.ph to ask about your benefit payment notice.
Hi po. I gave birth on january 23 2016. up to now I haven’t received the letter from philhealth. In the past, I got one. Was their deduction correct? In the previous letter, deduction was 19000 but in my receipt, only 11400 was deducted, plus that one for my baby 7+ I think. Is the one for me and my baby different?

Hello po,yun surgery for brain tumor,how much po ang coverage ng philhealth?
Hi Suzette, your BTL coverage of 4k should also have been deducted. When multiple procedures are performed, usually only one procedures is covered, but in the case of CS and BTL, BTL is covered as second-rate procedure. If you like, call the hospital and tell them that your BTL should also have been covered. If the hospital filed for both 19k and 4k, these will appear in the benefit payment notice that you will receive from Philhealth through the mail. If Philhealth refunded 23k to the hospital, you can use this notice plus your hospital receipts to ask for a refund of 4k from the hospital.
Hi po!ask ko lng po I give birth for our 2nd child last April 23,2016 and I undergo c.s w/BTL at St.Vincent hospital here in Cebu but the hospital only deducted 19000 for the philhealth..ask ko lng po if cover ba yun BTL sa philhealth,if so?may refund po ba dito sa BTL?ano requirements for refund?
Hi Jeanne, what you’re allowed to pay this April is April to June and the next quarters. This means you have to wait for June to have the operation, as it seems the operation can be delayed. I hope your surgeon and the hospital are Philhealth-accredited. Thanks a lot for appreciating my efforts.
Hi Nora! Thanks for this very helpful article and for dutifully answering questions in your comments section. I’m supposed to have ear surgery this May, but I haven’t paid since 2008, I think. If I pay the minimum three months (March to May), can I still use my Philhealth this May or do I have to settle for a June operation?
Hi Joanna, if he paid Philhealth for Jan to Mar 2016, then he can use Philhealth this April or May. If not paid, and he will pay for Apr to June, he can use Philhealth in June.

Hi Richie, so sorry about your daughter’s condition. I’ve looked over the Philhealth case rate list, and I can’t determine the exact term for the lung surgery that she will undergo. I even researched the terms, but I can’t find a match in Philhealth’s list. There’s thoracotomy, with removal of intrapleural foreign body or fibrin deposit — coverage is 38,440 (19,740 for PF and 18,700 for hospital cost). I don’t know. Have you tried PGH? At many hospitals, you can also ask the hospital’s social services department to help you with documents to ask help from PCSO while the bill is not yet fully paid. You can also go to the offices of politicians and governments officials.

Hi Joy, sorry about what you went through, but I hope your child is on fast recovery now. Are your bills already fully paid? Approach the PCSO desk of PGH and ask if they can help you with the documents needed to get assistance from PCSO. You can also go to the offices of VP Binay (Coconut Palace, CCP Pasay) and the offices of Senators (GSIS Bldg, Financial Center, Roxas Blvd) and Congressmen (Batasan, QC). Bring xeroxes of your medical documents and hospital bills, your 4P IDs, barangay certificates. It’s really possible to ask and receive help from these offices, specially now that it’s campaign time.
Hi po, my child was twice operated on at pgh. The doctor is at fmab, so it’s private but we are 4ps member. Is that really how small the discount is? And doctors fee is cash? My child has brain tumor; we lined up at charity, it’s been 1 month and wasn’t yet operated on and their prognosis was 2mos so we were forced to turn to a private doctor. Where can we go for financial help so we can reduce our debt, thanks po
Hi cherry, I can’t find percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in the list. There’s this procedure: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy including esophagus, stomach, and either the duodenum and/or jejunum as appropriate; with directed placement of percutaneous gastrostomy tube. Coverage is 18,000 (8,400 for PF and 9,600 for hospital cost). There’s also percutaneous placement of gastrostomy tube. Coverage is 8,020 (2,520 PF; 5,500 hospital cost)
after my grandfather stroke, he cannot eat. Doctors recommended PEG insertion which will cost us the endoscopy procedure. he will need to stay in teh hospital for 2 days. what will the philhealth covers
Hi Robin, each illness has a fixed coverage amount, but only one illness will be covered (the one with the biggest cost; but you still pay the balance if the coverage is not enough. Coverage for high-risk pneumonia is 32,000). Dialysis is one of the few procedures that can be covered too as an additional coverage (2,600 per dialysis). Balanced bill is usually done for a patient with only one illness, which means the coverage for that one illness is enough to cover all the costs. Ask the billing department about Philhealth. Ask for discounts at the social services dept. If you have a relative who can go to offices at the Senate or House, or Vice-Pres and ask for help (bring PGH documents, ORs and IDs), it will help.
Hi Nora, my mother is currently confined at PGH due to Pneumonia, Kidney complications and GI bleeding. She is currently has tube ventilator and had dialysis 2 times now. PGH billing department says bill is more than 150K now and that we need to make some payment. She is a senior citizen philhealth member. Does philhealth cover her hospitalization and is PGH allowed to balance bill? Thank you very much for your helpful blog.
Hi danzen, it’s the doctor who can say if you should have D and C. Yes, Philhealth’s coverage is only 11k. Ask your doctor how much you will pay if you use your Philhealth. If you haven’t paid Philhealth for 3 monthly premiums within Sep to Feb, you cannot use Philhealth this February. If you pay Jan to March now, you can use it in March, but it might not be safe to postpone your D and C. Ask your doctor. Ask others too.
Hi danzen, pay Philhealth for Jan to March (600 pesos) at Philhealth, so you can use it for surgery in March. Bring your ID, fill up registration form, check For Updating, then receive your MDR.
About SSS, you can file for sickness benefit if you paid at least 3 contributions within Oct 2014 to Sep 2015

Hi Ellen, has your mother consulted a doctor? Did the doctor advise operation? What’s the name of the procedure? If this is naipit na ugat or trapped nerve or nerve entrapment, I can’t see it on Philhealth’s list.
Hi Rechelle, if there were fractures, why was there no treatment? He should have been referred to the Orthopedic hospital if they’re not able to treat your father completely. Philhealth requires a report of medical condition and treatment. There are fixed deductions for various illnesses, medical conditions, treatments or operations. If there’s no diagnosis of medical condition and no treatment, even if x-rays and scan were performed, there’s no Philhealth coverage. So sad to know about this. Ask others too.
Hi good day, will my mother be covered by philhealth if ever she’ll have an operation for veins(ugat) na naipit?
Hi katrina, yes. Total coverage is 18,000 (PF: 8,400 pesos, Hospital Costs: 9,600)
Hi rosemarie, sad to say, CT scan is not covered by Philhealth as a separate procedure. Ask the hospital
Thanks for the reply Ms. Nora. On the first day of admission, they filed the papers, the hospital and doctors are Philhealth accredited.The only perform scans and x rays and surround his legs with bandages coz of fractured bones. No operation done. Since he was admitted, is there no philhealth coverage at all? Thank you.
Hi Rechelle, did they file their Philhealth papers before discharge? Is the hospital and doctor Philhealth-accredited? Was any of the conditions or treatments done on your father in the list of covered illnesses or procedures? Or did they perform only scans and xrays? If wound care was performed, there should have been a deduction.
hi good afternoon po. ask ko lang po kung covered ba ng philhealth ang varicose vein surgery? thanks po.

Hi. My Parents are both confined in the hospital due to an accident. My father was released after 4 days with no benefits from philhealth. His hospital bill is amounting to 29,000.00. I wanted to seek information why he was not covered by philhealth since their payment is on time and he was admitted at the hospital. thanks for your reply.
Hi joanne, if your son will be operated on at the pay department, and not at the charity department, you can use Philhealth. Coverage is 21k (8400 for PF and 12600 for hospital cost). Talk to the surgeon or to the one in charge of your case. As what usually happens in public hospitals, if supplies/meds are not available, you have to buy them outside the hospital, and then refund your expenses later, so prepare. Have your ORs in the name of your son and keep your receipts.
Hi po if my son gets operated on for luslos or hernia at pgh, will it be covered by Philhealth? and how much po.

Hi avelina, it depends on the OB and the hospital. Might be priced the same as CS. Ask several OBs/hospitals. Might range from 40k to more than 100k.

Hi Amy, the coverage is 16k per eye. Both eyes can be covered in 2 separate operations. The first step is to find a Philhealth-accredited eye surgeon whose clinic or hospital is accredited with Philhealth. If you’re okay with a generic lens (not branded) and if your father does not require high-blood-pressure monitoring, usually you pay only for the check-ups and tests. I have a post here: https://www.workingpinoy.com/2014/08/affordable-cataract-surgery-philhealth/

Gud morning my mom confined she has pneumonia and its already 8 days now. Our bill already cost 85k. How much will be cover it by philhealth?tnx
Hi Filomena, do you mean your husband is not yet qualified for Philhealth’s senior Philhealth program? If not yet, then request a new MDR from Philhealth that includes your husband as your dependent. Bring your ID and marriage certificate. If qualified, his operation should be covered fully since it will be done at a government hospital. But ask the surgeon if the Philhealth coverage is enough. Some pay-department doctors at government hospitals ask for additional PFs.
Gud pm my husband will undergo operation for galstone removal nxt week at government hospital and he is my dependent in my philhealth i am now a senior and my philhealth now is lifetime is he also covered to the package of 31k and we will no longer pay anything in the hospital? Thanks

Ask your doctor how much will you pay if you use Philhealth.

Hi Nora, my mother is a senior citizen and admitted in a private hospital because of her kidney/diabetes. How much discount she can get in philhealth?
Hi Glendz, your Philhealth deduction should have been 15,000. After you receive your benefit payment notice from Philhealth and you see that Philhealth paid 15k to the hospital, go back to the hospital with this notice and your hospital bill and OR and request for your refund of 10,000.

Hi Mylene, the coverage for tonsillectomy is 18,000 pesos (8400 for PF and 9600 for hospital costs)
Good afternoon. May I ask of the benefit package for tonsillectomy? Thanks much.
Hi Kiray, sad to say, you’ll get only one coverage, the costlier one. There are cases that can be covered as second case-rate, but these are procedures like dialysis or chemo.
Hi I was admitted with diagnosis of pneumonia and ashma. Will I will able to claim both 15k and 9k?
Hi BJ, based on those who have commented on our health blog, the cost ranges from 100k to 250k or more. Find a more affordable hospital. Or find a surgeon who works at the pay department of a government hospital, and ask about his/her cost package with Philhealth already considered.
Hi AngeLee, sorry I think it’s not covered. I can’t see in the list. MRI is primarily a diagnostic procedure, so most likely it’s not covered. Ask the hospital.
Hello, how much will a Thyroidectomy usually cost?
hi. my doctor recommended a lumbo sacral MRI. is it covered by Philhealth?
Hi Nora, I’m diagnosed with ovarian neoplasm and my doctor advised me to have my left ovary and my uterus removed. How much will it cost me? I’m a philhealth member also. Thank you
Hi Thomas, were you advised about what treatment to have? The coverage amount depends on the procedure that will be done. Since Philhealth coverage amounts are fixed, it’s advisable to have the treatment done at a more affordable hospital. If you’re a Makati resident, I think Makati has a special health card for its residents. If your doctor advises you to undergo a certain procedure, then you can ask several hospitals for their rates for that certain procedure. You can also ask for a second opinion about the advised treatment.
I am a senior citizen with senior id and also lifetime member with Philhealth.
I went for scanning and found out I have a small swelling on my right kidney
Kindly advise what I should do and how much I have to pay. Also which hospital I should go. I stay at fort bonifacio ( st Luke global city)
Kindly advise
Hi Kathy, coverage for sepsis due to streptococcus is 32,000. Ask the billing department so you can prepare.
Hi Ann, 4,500 is allocated for the doctor. It’s sad but based on comments on our blogs, some doctors want cash, so they want patients to pay cash. Ask your hospital why the 4,500 PF coverage was not used to pay the doctor. Ask them if you can refund the 4,500 after you receive the benefit payment notice from Philhealth, and if not, ask them where the 4,500 will go — will it go to the doctor as additional PF?
My son was hospitalized fir 7 days. The diagnosis was pnuemonia 1 mr. Upon discharge, the deduction from our bill was just 10,500. I still paid total amount of 6200. Akala q po ba 15,000 ang coverage ng pneumonia 1? Bkit po kya 10500 lng ang deduction?

Hi Evangeline, there are nearly 100 laparoscopy procedures on the list. What part of the body is being treated?
My sister is 88 years old she will have laproscopic surgery I hope I spell it right but anyway the cost is 150,00 pesos I wanna know how much they will pay and she will stay 3 days in the hospital.
Hi Princess, you need to consult with a doctor and have it examined at a government hospital. You might need to pay for the lab exam, but you can ask for discount at the social service dept. If thyroidectomy is advised, ask if it can be fully covered by philhealth. At many public hospitals, the patient needs to buy some meds/supplies outside the hospital, and will request for refund later on.
Hi good day i have goiter, already a bit big. I have not had lab exam.I’m willing to go on a surgery in case. if at a government hospital, is all covered? Do I have to pay something for thyroidectomy?
Hi kevin, no more from Philhealth because you already got your coverage; Philhealth already paid for your operation. That BPN is useful if you paid the hospital, or if you bought medicines outside the hospital.
hi po. Can I get something from philhealth even if I did not pay anything to the hospital. I received a BPN. I had operation for appendicitis.
Hi mark, Philhealth’s coverage is only a small portion of the cost. Sorry I can’t give the exact amount because I can’t find this exact diagnosis on the list. There are lots in the list, ranging from 30k to 50k. It’s better if you ask the hospital’s billing department.
Cardiac Cathetherization PDA Closure operation costs 285,000. how much is philhealth coverage?
Hi cecille, yes, your sister can use Philhealth for her kidney problem, but the coverage is only around between 10k and 15k, depending on the specific diagnosis. Hemodialysis is covered — 90 hemodialysis per year at 2,500 pesos each.
good pm po can my sister use her for her lupus. She’s currently confined at the national kidney hospital for her kidney problem. and for dialysis too, can she use Philhealth for this? How much is the coverage? thanks and god bless po.
Hi Mariel, sad to say, most outpatient laboratory procedures like scans and blood tests are not covered. I hope you find a hospital lab with cheaper rates.
Thank you Nora for your advice! God Bless and more power!
I’ve had goiter for 15 years. im 32 yrs old po, but my goiter is only small. Can I use philhealth for laborat0ries? I’ve been asking questions ever since about what to do. tnx
Hi Ella, if your employer paid your premium for August and Sep and will pay for Oct, your daughter can use your Philhealth in Nov. This is because your employer can then certify that you have paid at least 3 contributions within 6 months prior to treatment. If your employer can pay for Oct immediately and can give the 3-month-payment certification, ask the hospital if you can use Philhealth this Oct.
Hi, good day! I was a contractor,individual payee for 1 year July 2014-Aug 2015. I didn’t pay for my contribution during those time. Now I am a full time employee, started in mid-August. My employer is sure paying my contribution for Aug and Sep of this year. My daughter will be scheduled for a cyst removal operation. When is the best time to schedule the operation, since it is not an emergency case, to avail Philhealth benefits? Is there any way I can cover my missed payments? Thanks in advance.
Hi, Tess, we emailed you the list.
hello ma’am,can you send me in my email the coverage list of pneumonia?Because my youngest daughter is now 4 days in hosp and i would like to know how much we will pay for the hosp bill.thank u so much.
Hi.I would like to ask how much would Philhealth deduction to PCNL procedure. Iam undergoing the said procedure on October 9, 2015. It is kidney stone type of pprocedure.Thank you.
Thanks for the help Nora. However, my mother’s main treatment would be radiation therapy (outpatient) which would be combined with chemotherapy (pills). She would be treated for 5 consecutive weeks (25 sessions). I looked it up and as I understand it, Philhealth could cover up to 45 sessions of outpatient radiation therapy per year. Does it mean that Philhealth could cover the entire duration of her treatment? Thanks a lot for the help. She’s diagnosed with rectal cancer by the way.
Hi Jaypee, sorry that it’s the other way around, as Philhealth coverage is also limited. It has a fixed rate for every covered treatment. Philhealth will first be deducted from your bill, and then HMO will pay the rest. For chemo administration (code 9648), the coverage is 7,280 (1,680 for pf, 5600 hospital cost). There’s a certain no. of chemos that a member can avail of per year (most likely 22). Chemo can be claimed in addition to another covered treatment/illness. If it’s a breast or cervical cancer diagnosis, research if your mother’s case can qualify for Case Type Z coverage.
hi, ask ko lang po kung magkano ang coverage ng salpingo-oophorectomy? If laparoscopy, covered din po ba? Salamat po
Hi, My mother is to start her chemoradiation therapy soon and I was wondering how much philhealth could cover for our expenses. She has an HMO since she is my dependent but the HMO’s coverage is just limited. I was hoping that philhealth could cover the majority of the remaining expenses. Thank you.
Hi Chris, do you mean your hospital bill showed only 10,500 Philhealth deduction? The 15k coverage is allotted as 10,500 for hospital cost and 4,500 for PF. Ask the hospital why 4,500 was not deducted from the PF. Some physicians get the PF coverage as additional to their cash PF.
Hello nora, i was not able to use my philhealth benefits nor reimburse my expenses based of the full case rate system of my daughter who suffered pneumonia. The hospital said that there is a minimum number of days of confinement of 4 days before i can avail of my benefits. Is this true? Thank you.
Hello Ms, I was admitted with moderate Pneumonia, but Phil health only covered 10500, wherein the stated coverage amount should be 15000. Pwede ko ba ma reimburse yun, and what are the documents that I need to process it.
Hi Ella, yes, there are several types of laparoscopy covered by Philhealth. One is surgical laparoscopy for enterolysis (freeing of intestinal adhesion); coverage is 18k.
Is the laparoscopy covered by Philhealth? Thanks.
The doctor said 12k with Philhealth already deducted. It’s private po. endoscopy po in the stomach
Hi Alma, I checked the list and there are several kinds of endoscopy covered: upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, small intestinal, biliary, renal, ureteral, neuro. Coverage ranges from 8,260 to 23,300 depending on the kind or type. First, find a doctor willing to perform the process with your mother using Philhealth and ask if it will be fully covered by Philhealth, and if not, your estimate share of the cost.
Hi anna, if it’s code 44180: surgical laparoscopy, enterolysis (freeing of intestinal adhesion), coverage is 18k (8400 for PF and 9600 for hospital cost). The senior’s 20% discount is only applied to certain medicines and certain services. It’s not applied to the whole bill. I hope she already got her senior-citizen coverage ID from Philhealth.
My mother plans to have endoscopy. Is this covered by phihealth if outpatient? What’s the process?
Hi Clang, if your diagnosis and treatment is for asthma, then your coverage will only be for asthma (9k). There’s no additional discount for pregnancy. Ask also the hospital’s billing dept.
Hi Tina, the coverage for newborn jaundice is 7,400; it’s 11,700 for newborn sepsis. If the doctor wrote sepsis as primary diagnosis, and if Philhealth pays the hospital 11,700, then you can request for refund later from the hospital. Keep your ORs and all hospital docs. Wait for your benefit payment notice from Philhealth so you can see how much Philhealth paid to the hospital. If Philhealth paid only 7,400 or 7,800 to the hospital, then it means you’ve already received your full coverage.
Hi Jinki, yes, your D&C will be covered. It’s normal delivery that’s being counted for the limit of 4 deliveries. Coverage is 11k. If clinic, make sure that it’s licensed to do D&C. Both hospital/clinic and OB should be Philhealth-accredited.
Hi! I would like to ask if D&C surgical procedure will still be covered even if this is my 4th pregnancy. Thank you!
How much is the philhealth coverage of jaundice and sepsis of a two months old baby?
My baby was admitted due to jaundice secondary to sepsis. All my billing 7800k was covered by philhealth. Other medicines are bought outside the hospital.Is there a refund to be claim on philhealth in the future? Thanks a lot.
Hi may I ask. I’m confined because of my asthma attack. I’m pregnant. Can I get additional discount because of I’m pregnant aside from my 9k discount for asthma case? Pls reply asap thank
How much is the coverage for laparoscopic surgery for adhesion, for my mother who’s senior citizen. Can she claim philhealth and can she avail of 20 percent seniors discount?
Hi Homer, sad to say, I checked the list for second-rate cases, and neither condition can be covered as second-rate case, so only one will be covered – the one with higher treatment cost. Ask the hospital’s billing department.
My child has pneumonia and typhoid fever. Can I avail of both the case rate packages or one only? I’m an active philhealth member and my child is my dependent.
Hi Jocelyn, sad to say, Philhealth does not yet reimburse outpatient medicines.
good day po. Can I reimburse from Philheath the cost of my diabetic medicines? I’m on a tight budget. I have receipts. thanks
Hi Helen, you can ask the hospital why 2k was not deducted from the PF you paid. Usually they tell you, the 2k is an addition to the OB’s PF. Or they might say you can refund from them after you receive your benefit payment notice from Philhealth.
Thanks ms, yes 3k appears on the deduction but there’s no deduction of the Drs PF. What should I do on that? Can I still claim my deduction? Thanks ms
Hi Helen Mae, if you deliver at a hospital, the coverage is 5k (3k for hospital costs and 2k for PF). That’s why only 3k was deducted from your hospital costs. There’s also 1,750 for newborn care. Maybe only 1,250 was deducted because they didn’t have the other newborn procedure or the cost of a certain procedure was higher than Philhealth’s coverage.
hi ms god day po! I would like to know and inquire if I got the full deduction of my 1st born baby in normal delivery? Base on the billing I received after my husband paid, we found out that 3,000pesos for me Mother & 1,250pesos for our baby is credit thru PhilHealth. Now my understanding is 6,500pesos is fixed rate for normal delivery. Is the accommodation room is already covered on that 3,000pesos or not? Pls. Help us to understand. Thanks po
Hi elaine joy, yes, cyst surgery is covered but you need to find a surgeon and a hospital which are both Philhealth-accredited. And ask the surgeon about using Philhealth. Mammography is an outpatient diagnostic procedure so it’s most likely not covered. I can’t find it in the list of Case Rates. Ask others too
hai po good morning may i ask if cyst surgery and mammography test are covered by philhealth? thanks po
Hi Nicky, no, the 20% is only applied to certain medicines and fees. Not all hospital fees are discounted by 20%.
Hi nora, thanks for ur reply. After the 31k philhealth deduction, is there a discount for senior citizen also? So after 31k, will the patient be entitled to another 20% discount for seniorcitizen for the remaining balance? Thanks
Hi may, it would depend on the severity and cause of pneumonia. Sorry I don’t know the specific symptoms. What I know is that the hospital needs to send the x-rays or other diagnostic results to Philhealth. I’ll email you the coverage list for pneumonia.
Hi Nicky, if it’s cholecystectomy, the coverage is 31k (12,400 for PF and 18,600 for hospital costs and meds). Since this is a public hospital, prepare money because you might be required to buy meds outside the hospital.
Hi Ceya, yes, it’s covered, but you should make sure that the surgeon and hospital/clinic are both Philhealth-accredited and that the surgeon knows you’re using Philhealth
good am. my father is in hospital due to pneumonia..may I know what is different with high risk and moderate risk pneumonia?
Hi, how much can philhealth deduct for gallbladder stone operation to be done at NKTI? Thanks for your help.
hi, is cyst surgery covered by philhealth? my dad has cyst and he is already a senior citizen, tomorrow would be the surgery… thankz
Hi veronica, when you said SOA, do you mean the benefit payment notice from Philhealth? If yes, the amount paid by Philhealth to the hospital should be the amount that was deducted from your bill (Philhealth deduction). Coverage for pneumonia 1 is 15k; pneumonia 2 is 32k. Ask the hospital for refund, if the deduction was less. Keep copies of your ORs and bills.
hello po how do i know if I got my full benefits, base on my daughter’s case it was severe pneumonia so i thought I did not have to pay the bill. After I received SoA, the coverage on the SOA was different
Hi rosario, if this is chemotherapy (RVS 96408), you get 22 cycles. One cycle of chemotherapy is equivalent to 2 days deduction from the 45-day benefit allowance per calendar year. If this has increased, just like hemodialysis, I’ll get back to you. Or ask others too
good pm under philhealth, how many times can we use chemotherapy within a year?
Hi sam, no more Philhealth reimbursement because your Philhealth benefit was already used to pay part of your hospital bill. HMOs require the full Philhealth benefit to be deducted first, and then HMOs pay what’s not covered by Philhealth, up to your HMO’s maximum limit.
Hi po, can I get any reimbursement from Philhealth for in-patient treatment for my child who was admitted for 4 days for cellulitis. We did not pay anything. Medicard and philhealth paid around 30k bill. thanks po
Hi Lilian, sad to say, outpatient MRI is not covered. Most diagnostic procedures are not covered. Even if confined, diagnostic procedures are usually not covered because of other hospital costs. Ask others too.
Gud am po. I was advised to have abdominal mri. Is this covered by philhealth? Not enough budget for it. thanks po.
Hi Sylvia, sad to say, outpatient medicines are not covered. But there’s the TB-DOTS program (4,000 pesos worth of meds, etc.) — you can avail of this by consulting at a local health unit, or a government hospital with this program. About pneumonia, this is covered only if confined. There’s also the 90-day single confinement rule, which basically says that only one pneumonia confinement (the same illness) for the same patient is covered within 90 days.
Hi I’m Sylvia, are meds for tb and pneumonia covered by philhealth? my mother is 85 yrs old and we came to know only a while ago that she has ptb. she needs a lot of meds and there are even vials that need to be injected 3x a week to treat pneumonia.
Hi Demri, yes, coverage for excision of varicocele or ligation of spermatic veins for varicocele is either 12,900 (6300 PF, 6600 hospital) or 14,960 (7560 PF, 7400 hospital)
Hi! Is surgery for varicocele covered by Philhealth? Thanks
Hi Divina, hysterectomy is the process of removing the uterus. Philhealth’s coverage for total abdominal hysterectomy is 30k (12k for hospital costs and 18k for PF). Find a Philhealth-accredited OB at a not-so-expensive hospital and ask how much you’re going to pay if you’ll use Philhealth. Ask around; you might know someone who already had hysterectomy. God bless too
Hi Ms. Nora
good day po, isa po akong OFW,nagbayad ako ng aking contribution sa Philihealth last February ng taong ito, ang problema ko po ay lagi po akong dinudugo at halos isang buwan kung minsan ay higit pa, dahilan po ng pagbaba ng aking HGB na ngayon po ay 7 na lang, nagpa raspa na rin ako pero bumalik pa rin ang ganong condition ko, nagpa blood transfuse na rin ako dahil bumaba ng 6.2 ang hgb ko that was 2014, ngayon po ang advice sa akin ng doctor ay kailangan ng tanggalin ang akin uterus, yon na lang daw po ang pinakamabisang paraan para matigil na ang aking pagdurugo, kaya po uuwi ako ngayong week na ito. ang tanong ko po ay, covered po ba ito ng philhealth? magkano po kung sakali ang magagastos ko kasama na po ang blodd transfuse dahil kailangan yon bago ako maoperahan at ano po ang mga kailangang requirments..
maraming salamat po.. God bless you and more power..

Hi Ricky, it should be the hospital that will file with Philhealth, but if the reason for CF1 delay is valid, like due to a discharge on a Saturday or Sunday, Philhealth considers a filing from the member. But you need to get claim papers from the hospital so you can file directly with Philhealth. Include your hospital bill and payment OR. Additionally, I see only 2 dehydration coverages in Philhealth’s list: dehydration of newborn and maternity-related dehydration, so I’m not sure if your daughter’s diagnosis is covered. You will know when you ask the hospital for claim papers.
Hi Ivy, yes, tonsillectomy is covered. Coverage is 18k pesos. Find an accredited surgeon in an accredited hospital.
Hi Ms.Nora, My daughter confine for dehydration for 1 day I would like to ask if I should refund my hospital bill which I pay in cash P5,800.00 my Philhealth was delayed of one day release due to signatories. I have no option to wait my daughter has an exam in school that day we discharge. Thanks,
Hi Ms. Nora, I would like to ask if tonsillectomy is covered by Philhealth.
Thanks.
Hi Benjamin, yes, it’s covered but it’s most likely you’re going to pay a bigger part of the cost. Here’s a list of Philhealth-accredited dentists
Hi Betj, if the main diagnosis for his picu confinement is not neonatal sepsis, meaning it’s not the same as the first diagnosis just after he was born, then you can use again your Philhealth. It’s been 2 weeks, you can now go to the billing department and ask about your billing and Philhealth deduction
need advice. my live in partner is an OFW in singapore. there’s cyst in her gums. the dentist advised her to have surgery. will this be covered by philhealth if she’s sent home to have the surgery? tnx
Hi, ms Nora.I gave birth last July 27. my child was diagnosed with neonatal sepsis after 3 days we’re discharged from the hospital. Now he’s in picu for almost 2 weeks. Can I use again my philhealth for my child and how much is philhealth deductions for that case, thank you.
Hi Lilet, so sad that was in 2013. It’s been one-and-a-half years. You should have gone to the hospital with your benefit payment notice from Philhealth, your hospital bill, OR and IDs and could have requested for a refund of part of what you paid. I don’t know if the hospital will accept your request for refund now; I don’t know if they have deadlines for refund requests. You can try if you decide so.
Hi Lilet, Philhealth now accepts claims only from hospitals or clinics, with only few exceptions, so you file your Philhealth with the lying-in and your delivery will be covered by Philhealth. Ask how much is their newborn screening so you can prepare. Philhealth’s newborn screening coverage is only 1500, so maybe this is the reason why the clinic asks for additional payment.
Ms nora last november 2013 I had cystectomy. I paid 40k to the private hospital, with philhealth coverage already deducted. I received a BPN from philhealth after 2 or 3 months with a check for 1 or 2k. I don’t know about reimbursement. The check that I received was my reimbursement? Or do I need to file something? thanks po
Hi Ms Nors, I’m from Quezon City. I will give birth po this coming December at a lying-in center near us. They’re Philhealth accredited but their notice at their door says no payment except for new born screening. Can we reimburse at philhealth for any bills at the center? Thanks po for reply.
Hi Arlene, after you receive your payment benefit notice from Philhealth, you can go back to the hospital, present your notice and hospital statement plus ORs of meds bought outside and request for a refund. Your refund amount will depend on your ORs and the amount from the 24k that can be allocated for meds (after the 10k hospital expense).
Hi ms. Nora, I had an operation last aug 9, 2015 at a govt hosp. our total bill was 10K, all covered by phic so we did not pay anything except for meds bought outside. if 24k po is the fixed case rate for appendectomy, can we reimburse? about how much? thanks. god bless!

Hi melody, the coverage for chemotherapy administration is 7,280. The coverage amounts for other types of chemo are lower. One chemo equals 2 days. Every member is allotted 45 days per year.
Hi sheila, sad to say, no. If you pay today for July to Sep, you can use it only in Sep or Oct or Nov. But I could be wrong, so ask the hospital.
Hi paul, D&C coverage is 11,000.

Hi pearl, the coverage for hepatic amoebiasis is 10,000; for the other types, coverage is 6,000 pesos.
Hi Joanna, sad to say, Philhealth’s rule is to pay the premium before the start of confinement. Besides, for July confinement, a member should have paid for Apr to June. But ask others too.
Good Day. My daughter is currently confined because of Dengue. I want to apply for philhealth membership today. Can I use it immediately if I apply as member today and pay for 1 year contribution? thank you so much po.
Hi Dissa, there’s the hospital deposit law, but I’m not sure if it covers a procedure after the patient has been hospitalized for weeks already. I pray for your continued strength.
Hi po. My brother is confined. findings is amoebiasis po. philhealth dependent of my father. how much is the coverage of philhealth? indigent type of philhealth. thank you!
Thank you, Nora. The doctor said my dad needs trach. We cannot afford to pay it nore because they want 100,000 upfront payment. Do you think it’s against the law not to give that procedure if its highly needed by the patient, just because we cannot pay right now?
Hi Dissa, to get an accurate amount, go to the hospital’s Billing section and ask them. They should be able to answer because they know you need to pay, and the amount has escalated to a big amount.
Hi, can you help me address my question. My father is in ICU for almost three months now because of kidney failure. On top of that, his lungs are failing, so he has to have the ventilator. Our hospital bill is already 800,0000. How much do you think Philhealth is going to cover?
Hi Sheila, bring your signed claim form 1 to the hospital, with your cert of premium payment and ask the hospital to file for you. If they refuse because you’re already late, request the other claim forms, and file your claim at Philhealth yourself. Philhealth will accept your filing if they see a valid reason why you were not able to have your claim form 1 signed.
Just given birth. What should I do to reimburse my expenses at the hospital. Wasn’t able to have my employer sign my cf1 form. Thank you
Hi Ana, yes. Find a surgeon willing to accept Philhealth coverage. Ask how much you will add to the Philhealth coverage.
hello po. would like to inquire if removal of small cyst outside at the back particularly in is covered to philhealth?
Hi Merlyn, you should talk with your surgeon about using Philhealth because there are surgeons who are not Philhealth-accredited. The hospital should also be accredited. The coverage ranges from 23,300 to 49,000, depending on the specific surgery. Your doctor should be able to tell you about how much you need to prepare, after deducting Philhealth coverage. Your surgery date should be within the validity dates in your Philhealth receipt. Bring your MDR (from Philhealth), premium receipt and any ID. God bless too
Hello po Mrs Nora, how much po is the coverage for ear surgery Tympanoplasty with Mastoidectomy middle ear, operation this coming July 15,2015. I’m OFW, just left Pinas last Dec 2014 and got back home to have my ear treated, so I don’t have much for the operation. What should I file? Thank you po and hoping for your immediate response. God bless.
Hi Leo, sad to say, CT scan is not covered if it’s done as outpatient. Even if done while hospitalized, it’s likely that the benefit for the illness will be used up by treatments or procedures other than the CT scan.
Mam Nora..kakatayo Lang po ng infirmary clinic namin..Hingi naman po ako ng sample computation para sa reimbursement..although I went through an orientation hindi ko po alam paano simulan..please help po

Hi Ellen, sorry but your niece cannot be your beneficiary. Only your own children younger than 21, husband and senior parents can be your dependents
Hi lorna, yes, 40% goes to PF, but if you have already paid for the PF before discharge, they should have refunded the PF benefit to you. Show your PF receipt to the hospital.
good afternoon. my niece is in hospital due to multicab accident. he is 11 years old only. is he qualified as beneficiary in my philhealth? hoping for your response regarding this matter.
Good day!! I would just like to clarify my refund from philhealth.i was operated twice last oct. For lap cholecystectomy and then roex-en hepatico jejunostomy with appendectomy..i paid my bill in cash without philhealth deductions..when i received my notice from philhealth for refund, 54300 was indicated in the notice..and when i went to the hospital,they only issued 24000 for my refund. 29400 goes to doctors fee(i have 3 doctors,1surgeon and 2 medical doctors in which 1 is just covering the other doctor because he’s out of town)..im just confused on the computation granting 40% for PF and 60% for hospital bill..

How much is the coverage for varicocele operation?
gud am po. My niece/nephew was admitted at QC Gen Hosp. Had operation on the head. Had titanium plate. We buy meds. How much is the Philhealth package? Patient is Philhealth member.
Hi nanneth, sorry, but about 3 years have passed. Members are given only 60 days from date of discharge to file a Philhealth claim. Since last year, the rule has changed — it’s now the hospital that files the claim. The patient files with the hospital before discharge.
Hello po. My husband died in 2012 due to hypertension, it was a sudden death. I was shocked so I wasn’t able to think well and use PhilHealth. It’s only now that I read on FB about refund. Can I still avail? Thanks!
Hi bryoj, yes, that’s the policy. You use Philhealth at the second hospital.
Is this really the policy? That if a patient transfers to another hospital, they cannot use Philhealth at the first hospital?

Hi, i just want to know the complete discount for Cholesteatoma Surgery?
Hi Jessy, I can’t find hypocalcemia and low potassium in the Philhealth Case-Rate table. The benefit for hypertension is 9k. Usually, only one illness is covered. Talk with the Philhealth/billing staff, and ask about deduction. Ask about the PF so you can prepare. I hope your sister has already improved and is already well, so she can be discharged.
Hi, Ms. Nors. how much is the discount for an individually paying member if confined? my sister is in the hospital from April 18 2015 to present due to HYPOCALCEMIA AND LOW POTASSIUM WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. Our papers are already with the billing department. Upon admission the hospital asked for a deposit of 2500 which I gave. (Bill that day was 4500+ and then after 2 days the bill became 11,800+ and they asked for 5k additional deposit and I complied, giving them 7,500. (TOTAL DEPOSIT is 10,000 as of that day.) Now it’s April 23, and the bill is 33,296.70 without PF. that’s the total running bill as of today without PF and deposit and Philhealth were not yet deducted. this morning, they called my mother to the billing section and they asked again for 10,000 additional deposit. Is this right? We were confined at a Level 3 hospital here in Pampanga. Hope you can help us
Hi jennifer, not yet. Philhealth is used only when hospitalized. Can be used only for outpatient services like dialysis and chemotherapy.
Hi po can we use philhealth card for outpatient care?
hi mam nora:
my got operated last week (apr 16) for hip replacement. she was admitted in a local hospital (Dr. Yanga Hospital in Bocaue). Our partial billing (frm Apr 9 to Apr 20, 2015 has reached P110,000.00 net of philhealth deduction amounting to P15,000.00. Is this the only amount being deducted in the case of my mother, how about the Z-package benefit, is she not entitle to this. Please note that I first brought my mom at the Phil. Orthopedic Hospital but upon informing the attending doctors there that my mom has polycythemia vera we were informed that my mom shld be brought to a general hospital. Since the hematologist treating my mom with her polycythemia vera is affiliated in Dr. Yanga Hospital, we opted to just bring her to the said hospital.I am just a rank-and file employee of a government agency and raising the amount billed to us is quite difficult.
hoping for your immediate response.
hello, philhealth covers only in-patient? my daughter had a minor surgery and ct scan pero out-patient…no coverage for this daw?
Hi boss, ask your OB or clinic if that 21k package is already their Philhealth package, so that means you will pay the whole 21k. If not yet, ask if they deduct 6500 (for lying-in clinics) or 3900 (just the clinic portion). The normal delivery benefit at hospitals is 5k (3k for hospital cost and 2k for PF).
Hi albert, the benefit is 12,120 (6,720 for PF and 5,400 for hospital cost)
hi…just wanted to know when did philhealth started using fixed rate …the last time i used my philhealth they just deducted it directly from my hosptal bill.i thought they’re still using the old computation..
Hi may i ask. I’ll give birth this coming may 23,2015. 21,000 is my delivery package at my clinic(philhealth accredited). I’m a member of philhealth. if normal delivery, how much will I get from philhealth? thanks po. last time i gave birth, my bill was 20,000, and only 2000 was deducted as my philhealth benefit
my wife is a member of philhealth. she undergo surgical operation on hemorrhoidectomy yesterday april 11 and will be discharge tomorrow april 13. how much will be covered by philhealth. thank you
Hi Rozaline, if in a hospital, the deduction is 5k (3k for hospital cost and 2k for OB). If lying-in, the deduction is 6500.
How much is my Philhealth benefits just in case mine is normal delivery? Thank you.
Hi Rozaline, ask the people in the service ward if they accept no-balance billing, meaning your Philhealth benefit is enough to cover all expenses, and that you don’t have to pay anything, or you pay only a little amount.
Hi lauriz, the benefit for CS is 11,400 for meds and hospital costs and 7,600 for the doctors. So if your hospital cost was, for example, 5,400, and you spent 7k for meds bought outside, your 6k should be refunded to you (11,400 minus 5400 = 6k). If hospital cost was 4k and you spent 5k, you should be refunded 5k (11,400-4k=7400, but only 5k will be refunded). Processing takes 2 to 5 months or more.
Good day! My due date is April 27, 2015. I plan to give birth at Amang Rodriquez Medical Center here in Marikina City. My O.B at OPD Section told me her rate for normal delivery package is 25k+ in Semi-Private with Philhealth. Then she mentioned Service Ward. I wish to deliver at the Service Ward as I can’t afford her rate. My husband’s salary is small. How much will I pay if I give birth at the Service Ward? I’ll use my Philhealth. Thank you

Hi Emil, if your ACL surgery is this: Code 29888 – Arthroscopically aided anterior cruciate ligament repair/augmentation, Philhealth’s coverage is 37,180 (18,480 for PF and 18,700 for hospital cost). Ask your surgeon how much you will pay if you use Philhealth.

Hi kenneth, Philhealth’s coverage for varicocele excision is 12,900 and for the other type of excision, coverage is 14,960. There are 2 big government hospitals in Metro Manila: PGH and East Avenue. You can try the charity and pay-patient departments. If charity at PGH, you need to go there very early (Padre Faura gate). But if you’re working, sometimes it’s better to have the pay-patient route as the charity route takes a lot of waiting times. Ask the surgeon about costs
Good day po mam. in what charitable hospital can I have have operation for varicocele and how much will be the cost? im 24 yrs old and member of philhealth. I’m thinking I need 20k to make sure I’ll be able to pay all so I’m saving now. thanks for the answer 🙂 God bless 🙂
Hi Mylene, what I know is that if a patient is hospitalized due to 2 or more illnesses at the same time, only 1 illness is covered (the one with higher cost). there are conditions when 2 are covered, but usually the second case is chemo, hemodialysis and a limited list of medical conditions. Ask others too
Hi gennifer, sorry Philhealth does not cover outpatient checkup. There’s a prenatal care benefit, but prenatal care ORs worth at least 1500 are filed together with maternity claim.
Mrs NORA, MY NIECE HAD SUBMITTED ALL THE MEDICAL BILLS TO THE OFFICE SINCE JANUARY INCLUDING THE OTHER 3 BILLS FROM OUR INFLUENZA A CASE.WHY ONLY 3 CHEQUES WERE GIVEN THAT MEANS NO REIMBURSEMENT FOR HIS BELLS PALSY?WHY IT SHOULD BE LONG WAIT AND ASKING FROM THEM?
Is evaluation for pcos included in the Maternal care package? I’m pregnant and I need check up. Will I pay if my philhealth is sponsored?
Hi Mylene Mae, there’s Bell’s Palsy Facial Palsy in the Case Rate list and the coverage is 7,400. You can ask the hospital for refund or for claim forms and waiver from the hospital and file an appeal directly with Philhealth.
MY HUSBAND WAS CONFINED FOR 1 WEEK IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF LACK OF BREATH AND THE DIAGNOSED WAS BELLS PALSY, CAN BE THIS REIMBURSABLE? WE CANNOT CHOOSE OUR SICKNESS, IT’S NOT OUR CHOICE…PLEASE CONSIDER THIS..WE PAY FOR THAT PHILHEALTH INSURANCE OF 2,400 YEARLY AS AN OFW. THANK YOU.

Hi Alli, I can’t see anything related to liver in Philhealth’s list of procedures considered for second-case coverage, so it’s most likely that only the hysterectomy coverage will be availed of. Ask your doctor
Hello, my mother will undergo hysterectomy and at the same time will have something from her liver removed. Is there a coverage for that removal aside from the hysterectomy coverage since 2 surgeries are performed?
I keep on searching on splenectomy coverage ng philhealth. Do you have any idea? Thanks
Hi ilyn, Philhealth deduction now is not based on room rate or other rates. Now, the amount of deduction is fixed for every kind of illness or treatment, whether the room is service ward or private room. Ask the deduction for your kind of surgery.

Hi Tomas, I checked the Procedure and Medical Case Rate list, and I can’t see “varicose”. But I think it should be covered. You can ask a surgeon about costs and Philhealth coverage. Meanwhile, you can research online for natural treatments.
Is vslt or surgical procedure covered by philhealth?
I have a very painful varicose vein buldging which cause me hard tostand and walk.I am 67 years old retiree and lifetime member. Is vstl or opration treatment covered by philhealth?
Hi Sarah, yes, you can use it again for your son because you’re using it for different dependents. The 90-day rule applies only for the same patient and the same illness within 90 days.
Hi, can I use philhealth again? My daughter was confined last oct 26 for pneumonia, can I use it for my son? pneumonia also. gap is 3 weeks
Hi Jerico, yes, you can use your Philhealth this Nov or Dec. Get cert of premium payments from your employer. Continue paying as Individual Payor if you’re not yet re-employed. Requirement for both employed and individual payor is premium payment for 3 of the 6 months prior to confinement.
Hi,
Last payment ko po sa contribution ko sa Philhealth ay last month Oct. 2014, asked ko lang for if one of my dependent was confined on the Hospital can i still use my Philhealth for them?
Thanks.
Hi Regine, is your father 60 years old or older? If 60 years old or older, yes, she can use her Philhealth for your father, even if she used it last Nov 6. But she needs to update her MDR (bring her birth certificate) if your father’s name is not yet written in her MDR. I heard that Commonwealth Hospital (near SM Fairview) is expensive; maybe you can bring your father to East Avenue, or think of more affordable private hospitals.
Hi Irineo, I’m glad that you and your friends planned for your retirement and have been intently saving for the maximum SSS premium. Yes, the retirement formula is still the same. The formula that will be used in your case is Formula 2 above.
Your advantages over your friends who did not contribute during vacations are: 1. You’ll have a higher no. of credited years (the formula for this from Year 2002 contributions is total no. of contributions divided by 12. So of course, the more contributions, the higher no. of credited years)
2. If you continue to pay 1760, and assuming this will be the maximum premium till your retirement, and assuming you’ll be able to pay sixty 1760s till your retirement, then your average salary credit for pension computation will be the maximum 16k pesos.
Good day Ma’am Nora. My sister used her philhealth last November 6,2014. Can she still use her philhealth for my fathers confinement in Commonwealth hospital because of heart failure? Pls reply Ma’am we need to bring my Papa as soon as possible as said by the doctor but we are very confused because we have not enough money.
Hello ate Nora, I wrote you because this topic about sss pension is good. I’m ofw seabased. Since 1977, I’ve been paying my sss contributions through my employer if I’m on board. But I learned that if I continue to pay even during vacations, my retirement benefit will be higher. So since 2005, I started paying voluntarily while on vacation, but paid the minimum contribution just to prevent any gap in my contributions.
In 2007, after getting advice from friends, I started paying the maximum contribution even while on vacation and still paying the max contribution amount of PHP 1760. Now I’m nearing the retiring age of 60. Is the retirement computation still the same, as what is written here? What I mean is–is my pension going to be higher than those who are also paying the maximum but not during vacations? Is there a significant difference? Thanks for explaining.
Hi Magdalena, if your status with Philhealth is OFW (you can present your OEC or another proof of being OFW) and you pay Oct to Dec 2014, your mother can use it within Oct to Dec 2014. If you pay as Individual Payor, your mother can use it in January to Mar 2015. Your mother should be 60 or older so she can qualify as your dependent.
Hi Ms. Nora, i am an OFW and my last payment was on June 2014. My mother needs a cataract surgery and she is my dependent. Can i still pay Oct-Dec 2014 this end of November? When can we use the benefits, is it next year (January?) if i pay my Oct-Dec? thank you in advance.
Hi reuben, you can use it as many times as you need, up to the limits. The 2 limits are: 1. You have an allowance of 45 confinement days per year. Your dependents share another allowance of 45 days. 2. You can use Philhealth only once if you have 2 or more hospital admissions for the same illness within 90 days. If different illnesses within 90 days, these illnesses will be covered.
May I ask how many times I can use philhealth in a year. thank you and more power.
Hi Edna, the coverage for essential hypertension is 9k (6300 for hospital costs and 2700 for PF)

Hi maam ask ko po i paid my husbands philheath yearly i forgot to settle it last september 18 can i still pay starting from that month onwards?thanks
Hi rommel, yes, that’s really sad and frustrating. I looked at the Case Rate list and the coverage for coronary artery bypass (vein only, 1 or 2 venous grafts) is 53,400 (29,400 for PF and 24k for hospital expense). For 4 or more venous grafts, the deduction for PF is 37,800 and the hospital expense deduction is 21k (total deduction is 58,800). Have you received your benefit payment notice from Philhealth? You can ask for additional refund from the Heart center if your Philhealth deduction is less than the amount paid by Philhealth to Heart Center.
Hi tesa, the coverage for acute asthma is 9k (2300 for pf and 6700 for hospital expenses). 2300 is deducted from your total PF and 6700 is deducted from your total hospital expense.

Hi Gretchen, the coverage for hypertension is 9,000
How much is the case rate for high blood? Thank you
It’s so sad that philhealth is like that. We all in the family work for the government.
Hi mam nora, why is it like that with philhealth? My mommy underwent coronary bypass at heart center, and our bill was almost 600k and only 21k was covered by philhealth. She was operated on last january. We thought philhealth will cover a big portion of the bill.
Hi kath, he can pay for Oct to Nov or Oct to Dec, then he asks for a copy of premium payment or certification from his previous employer (payment for June and July 2014) so you can avail. http://www.healthphilippines.net/2014/06/philhealth-maternity-benefit-individual-payor/
Hi. I’m a dependent of my husband. Will give birth in dec. but his last payment was july. because his contract ended. can he continue paying and can i avail of benefit from philhealth? Thanks
Hi elvie, yes, if different illness. If it’s pneumonia for the 2 confinements, the 2nd will not be covered if first was already covered. This is 90-day single period of confinement rule. Ask others too
hi.. can my dependent still avail PHIC package of pneumonia even if he was diagnosed and admitted in the hospital in the same month?
Hi Jay-Jay, the deduction is fixed now, not percent of total bill. If the diagnosis is more specific, then I can check the Case Rate list.

Hi jennifer, you can pay asap as individual payor for Oct to Dec, so you can be eligible Jan to Apr 2015. Update your record at a Philhealth branch (bring your ID) so you can get your MDR and your Philhealth card.

Hi zoila, you present your Philhealth ng masa ID to the clinic/hospital and they will deduct your benefit. You’ll pay the balance if the Philhealth benefit is not enough. No more direct filing by member with Philhealth
With the philhealth ng masa, can we reimburse? Thanks
Hi Emily, sad to say, if you pay Oct to Dec, you can start using it in Jan 2015. Requirement is payment of 3 months within 6 months BEFORE confinement. Philhealth cannot be used for outpatient checkups. Ask others too.
Good day! Last april 2014 was my last philhealth payment, when i was employed. Since end of contract, I haven’t paid. If I pay for 4th quarter, before Oct.13,2014 can I avail of benefits? that’s my schedule for my child’s follow-up checkup at the hospital?
Hi sylvia, yes, you can both avail. File 2 sets of claim forms. The member has an allocation of 45 days. All the member’s dependents share a separate allocation of 45 days
can both member and dependent avail of Philhealth benefits if they’re confined at the same time?

Hi Josie, sad to say Philhealth’s coverage is too small compared to your sibling’s projected total bill. Check this list if that type of surgery is in this list: http://www.healthphilippines.net/2014/09/philhealth-benefits-for-aortic-valve-replacement/
How much will Philhealth pay for my sibling who will undergo surgery at the heart Center for Double Valve Replacement surgery. He needs to pay 850,000.00 pesos for treatment.

Hi evangeline, the coverage for stroke is 38k (11,400 PF and 26,600 hospital costs). Keep the ORs (should be in patient’s name, with dates and OR nos.) and give the hospital xerox copies before discharge. You might be able to refund them later on if the 26,600 is not fully consumed by hospital costs. Get deductions before discharge; patient’s filing with Philhealth is no longer allowed.
Hi Rose, the coverage for repair initial inguinal hernia is 21k (8,400 PF and 12,600 hospital costs).

Hi Ms. Nora..I would like to ask how much will be covered by Philhealth in Inguinal Surgery for my son?
I believe it’s their VAT that we pay for. Is that really how it goes, as per Philhealth guidelines? Do they have to have the patients pay for it?
Hi rom, endoscopy is listed in the Case Rate list, but I’m not sure if it’s covered if it’s done as outpatient. Ask PGH
Hi Ms. Nora! Yung father ko po need magpa’endoscopy s PGH next week, pwede ko po bang gamitin philhealth ko for the procedure?
Hi shania, are you updated with your Philhealth payments? If you are updated, your Philhealth will be enough for your maternity and newborn care needs. You’ll file 2 claim form 1, one for you and one for your baby. You can also submit prenatal ORs worth 1500 or more so Philhealth can mail you your 1500 refund.
Hi Cesar, I’m puzzled that they used the word “VAT”. Why didn’t they just say that it’s for additional doctor’s fee or hospital charge? What I know is there’s no VAT for regular medical bills. It’s the doctors and the hospital that pay VAT for payments received from Philhealth and from patients. You can ask if that’s really your VAT or their VAT (and you’re paying for them) or additional charge. They should just be honest.
nora gud pm.
6mos pregnant ako. may philhealth as voluntary. yung father ng baby ko ay philhealth member din under NHTS-pr . sponsored. We were asked to buy the hepa B vaccine since sa maternity clinic ako manganganak, gagamitin ko philhealth ko para mareimburse ko ycung 1750.00 NEW BORN PACKAGE, ano yung pwedeng gawin ng partner ko para magamit namin philhealth mya at makatulong sa gastos since my hepa B ako. o kaya dun nlng sa baby namin
Talaga po bang ide-deduct ng ospital sa claim na 11k yung VAT daw amounting to 2,800? 25 po yung total bill namin. Miscarriage po yung case.
Hi jenny, only one of these diagnosis will be covered. Most likely, it would be pneumonia. Ask your hospital, to be sure.
Hi Ernesto, these are all diagnostic procedures, and I commiserate with you because these are really expensive. Sadly, outpatient diagnostic procedures are not covered. In Philhealth’s list of Case-Rate procedures covered, endoscopy and colonoscopy are listed, and they have coverage amounts. MRI is covered only if it’s used during certain treatment procedures. So I think one diagnostic procedure can be covered if you’re confined and treated, meaning there’s diagnosis and there’s treatment. What I understand about Philhealth’s coverage, based on comments on our blogs and on rules I’ve read, is that there should be a diagnosis and treatment. If there’s no treatment done, even if confined, the confinement is not covered. But you need to ask your doctor or your hospital. They should know by now the conditions and procedures that can be covered when confined. Take care. I hope the doctors will finally make the right diagnosis and the right treatment. We emailed you the relevant case rate list.
