Higher Philhealth contributions starting this month | ABS-CBN News

MANILA, Philippines - Contributions to the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth) are increasing this month.

Self-employed workers will now have to pay a monthly contribution of P150 from P100. For those who are employed and earning P8,000 and below, they will now pay P87.50/month instead of P50/month.

For those who are earning between P8,001 to P34,999, the contribution rate is still 1.25% of their salary.

For those earning P35,000 and up, their monthly contribution will now be P437.50/month from P375/month. The increase will also be the same for employers as their employer contribution.

Greg Rulloda, PhilHealth vice president, says the increase is worth it since more benefits will be given to workers and more will become members.

For employers, the benefit is having a healthy workforce.

PhilHealth says the list of illnesses covered will now include heart ailment for children such as enlarged heart, cervical cancer, artificial leg and heart bypass.

So far no advice from Philhealth if they will increase their funding for local health centers despite the upcoming increase in the contribution.

Philhealth president Alex Padilla is so dumb he have guts to sue hospital who will not honor Philhealth members. Where does he get's his guts to state so when the hospital should be one suing Philhealth for not paying it's debt. This sucker is really a failure with only being the son of former Sen. Padilla as his credential to be a political appointee. Used to be Customs chief and see where is customs until now.

He should be the one explaining why is Philhealth debt filing up? Where is the money of Philhealth? Why it took them 6 months and only after being threatened would they know and react they owe lots of hospital. This idiot is just sitting in the comfort of his office collecting salary & benefits milking the agency. This idiot should be fired.

that's true.. bakit bibigyan mo nang benefit yung mga squatter at walang work na hindi naman na co contribute sa fund.. kung gusto nila libre yung mahihirap.. dapat tapatan nang gobyerno yung hulog nila monthly para maka avail sila nang benefits under philhealth.. kaso ang nangyayari.. ang dami dami nag cla claim.. tapos konti lang nagbabayad nang contributions.. babagsak talaga yan.. tapos puro corrupt pa officers.. ang lalaki nang sweldo and bonuses..

It's simply because their using it into their campaign at the expense of the contributors. Comelec should look into this crap. Kung sino ang nagcontribute, yun lang dapat ang makinabang. Ang potang mga politiko, ginagamit sa pamomolitika ang hindi sa kanila. Tapos pag wala ng pondo, maguutos ang mga kupal na taasan uli ang contribution. Dapat bitayin ang mga yan. :hang::hang::hang:

Sa Philhealth, ang perang binigay mo, eh thank you nalang. Babalik man sa iyo yan, pero kelangan mo muna magkasakit. And oh, babalik nga yun pera sa iyo pero pahirapan pa makakuha.
