As PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corporation) moves towards Universal Coverage by 2010, the agency further expands its benefits and services to the Filipinos providing quality and affordable health care services to OFWs and their dependents through the Overseas Workers Program.
With only P900 as their annual contribution, OFWs and their dependents could enjoy the PhilHealth inpatient and outpatient benefit packages in accredited facilities. However, to continuously avail of these benefits, OFWs should renew their membership annually with PhilHealth by paying the annual premium and by presenting the following documents:
Valid passport
Valid working permit/visa; Exit and Re-entry visa;
Overseas Employment Certificate
Any other equivalent documents proving that he/she is an active OFW.
Certificate of Employment for applicable period from employer abroad
Valid Employment Contract
Valid Company ID issued by the employer abroad
Cash Remittance Receipt from member abroad at least 2 months prior the date of renewal/payment
The same documents also apply to new registrants to the Overseas Workers Program which are to be attached to the M1b form for membership registration.
My husband is an active OFW in Saudi Arabia. His Philhealth beneficiary is his mother, my mother-in-law. Can my mother-in-law have her regular check-up at any Philhealth accredited hospital? Are there Philhealth accredited hospitals in Tagaytay?
