How will I know if my PhilHealth is active?

Registering your existing philhealth number is a pre-requisite to be able to check your contribution online. The reason is you need to supply the User ID and Password that philhealth sent to your email after completing the registration process.

Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), self-employed, voluntary members, and employed members will benefit from this online service of the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation. They can monitor their contributions wherever they are 24 hours a day and 7 days a week as long as they have a mobile phone and a personal computer connected to the internet.

Checking your philhealth contribution online is quite simple as you only need 5 steps. The philhealth number registration is straight forward and also need 5 steps. Based on my experience, you can do both processes in less than 10 minutes.

It also comes with a link to activate your account and complete your registration.

If for some reason, you cannot see the email sent by the state-run health institution, I would suggest checking your spam folder. Sometimes, the email is mistaken for spam that is why it is automatically sent to that folder.

Step 5: Your account is now activated

You may now log-in with your philhealth account using the PIN and password.
