MMG ADVISORY as of 02/02/2018

Application of PhilHealth Circular No. 2017-0021 to All Admissions Starting October 1, 2018

To give PhilHealth members ample time to pay their premium contributions and comply with the prescribed sufficient regularity of payment prior to the first day of confinement, PhilHealth Circular No. 2017 - 021 shall be applied to all admissions starting October 1, 2018. 

Hence, the rule on three (3) months contributions within the immediate six (6) months prior to the first day of confinement (3/6) shall be required for benefit availment covering the period January 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018.
 
All members admitted January 1, 2018 onwards who were unable to avail themselves of benefits due to lacking sufficient regularity may file claims directly with PhilHealth.
