Planning to register for PhilHealth as a Self-Earning Individual or a Voluntary Member? Here's a step-by-step guide on how to register and list of requirements.



What is PhilHealth Voluntary Membership?

PhilHealth voluntary membership refers to the privilege extended to individuals who are not formally employed by a registered company or by an employer in the Philippines.

Unlike employed individuals who get automatic membership, voluntary members register and pay for their contributions on their own.

Who Can Apply as a PhilHealth Voluntary Member?

Any Filipino who doesn’t have a fixed employment term and is not a senior citizen, indigent member, or sponsored member can register as a voluntary member.



PhilHealth Voluntary Membership Requirements

For membership registration and dependent enrollment, PhilHealth no longer asks for supporting documents such as birth certificates or marriage contracts, as stated by PhilHealth VP Corporate Affairs Dr. Israel Francis Pargas in an interview.

A complete PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF) is all you need to enroll as a voluntary member.


Who are Qualified as Dependents?

The following also enjoy PhilHealth coverage without additional premiums
  • Legitimate spouse who is not a member;
  • Child or children - legitimate, legitimated, acknowledged and illegitimate (as appearing in birth certificate) adopted or stepchild or stepchildren below 21 years of age, unmarried and unemployed.
  • Children who are twenty-one (21) years old or above but suffering from congenital disability, either physical or mental, or any disability acquired that renders them totally dependent on the member for support, as determined by the Corporation;
  • Foster child as defined in Republic Act 10165 otherwise known as the Foster Care Act of 2012;
  • Parents who are sixty (60) years old or above, not otherwise an enrolled member, whose monthly income is below an amount to be determined by PhilHealth in accordance with the guiding principles set forth in the NHI Act of 2013; and,
  • Parents with permanent disability regardless of age as determined by PhilHealth, that renders them totally dependent on the member for subsistence.

Qualified dependents shall be entitled to a separate coverage of up to 45 days per calendar year. However, the 45 days allowance shall be shared among them.
