Online: PhilHealth Member Portal

1. Download and fill out the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF) in capital letters — all fields are mandatory unless marked optional, and a mobile number is required.
2. Open the Member Portal and click PhilHealth Member Registration (Online NHIP Registration – Individual).
3. Enter a valid email address and the captcha. PhilHealth: "a valid email address is required and it can only be used once … a registrant cannot submit more than one (1) application."
4. Complete the form and upload the accomplished PMRF and supporting document(s) — "e.g. birth certificate, valid, acceptable, or duly issued ID" — "otherwise, it will be disregarded."
5. Wait for processing: "All electronically submitted registration forms with complete supporting document/s shall be processed within three (3) to five (5) working days. The PIN will be sent to the provided email address of the registrant upon successful processing of the registration."
6. With the PIN, use Member Portal Account Creation (PIN, name, birth date, sex, email, mobile number, password of 8–32 characters with upper- and lower-case letters, a digit and a special character) and confirm the activation email.

Through Your Employer (Formal Economy)

• Newly hired without a PIN: "Fill out two (2) copies of the PhilHealth Member Registration Form (PMRF)", "Submit PMRF to the HR Department of employer", "Await Member Data Record and PhilHealth ID card from employer".
• Newly hired with a PIN: "Report your PIN to your employer for them to indicate the same in their ER2."
• The employer files the ER1 (employer data record) and a PMRF per employee, receives its PhilHealth Employer Number and the employees' PINs and MDRs, and remits the monthly premium — the PhilHealth Contribution Calculator shows the 5% split.

At a Local Health Insurance Office (Self-Earning, Informal Economy)

1. Visit any Local Health Insurance Office or PhilHealth Express outlet.
2. Fill out two copies of the PMRF and submit them.
3. Receive your Member Data Record (MDR) and PhilHealth ID card.
4. Pay premiums with your PIN — monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually.

Requirements, Fees and Proof of Income

• PMRF (UHC version, January 2020) — two copies for walk-in, one upload online.
• One valid proof of identity for first-time registrants (PhilHealth Circular 2020-0001, Sec. V.B); the online page lists "birth certificate, valid, acceptable, or duly issued ID" as examples.
• Proof of income for direct contributors other than formally employed workers, sea-based workers and lifetime members; kasambahay, family drivers and self-earning members need only declare income on the PMRF.
• Representative: your signed authorization letter and both of your government IDs with photo.
• Fee: none stated; the PMRF is "not for sale".

Forgot Your PIN?

PhilHealth publishes no online PIN-recovery tool and the portal needs the PIN to open an account. Look for it on an old Member Data Record, PhilHealth ID card or payslip, ask your HR (it is on the employer's ER2 and remittance reports), or visit a Local Health Insurance Office with a valid ID. Never register again — "Your PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) is your unique and permanent number."
