Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) Registration for Enterprises in the Philippines

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) is the government agency responsible for providing health coverage to Filipino constituents including overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) and the indigent community. Local and foreign enterprises in the Philippines must register with PhilHealth to comply with laws that mandate basic health coverage and insurance to employees.

We help our clients achieve a seamless corporate registration process by providing end-to-end assistance in complying with appropriate government agencies in the Philippines.

Importance of Registering With PhilHealth

Under Republic Act (RA) No. 7875, all employees working in both private and public sectors must register with PhilHealth and pay monthly contributions to ensure that companies provide health coverage and benefits to their employees. PhilHealth contributions deduct 50% from an employee’s monthly paycheck while the other 50% will be shouldered by their employers.

PhilHealth provides assistance on the health and hospitalization of its members and their beneficiaries.
