Payment of Premium Contributions through the Online Payment Facility of the Electronic Premium Remittance System (EPRS)

To ensure compliance in the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018, the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation issued PhilHealth Circular No. 2023-0010 on the Payment of Premium Contribution through the Online Payment Facility of the Electronic Premium Remittance System (EPRS) Revision 1 that aims to streamline services in paying contributions of employers both in the private and government sectors.

To effectively implement this policy, all over-the-counter premium payments from the employed sector shall no longer be accepted at any Accredited Collecting Agent beginning September 2024. All employers are required to utilize the online payment facility in the EPRS for faster acknowledgement and immediate posting of their remittances. 

For employers who were granted exemptions, over-the-counter payments shall be accepted exclusively at PhilHealth offices as supported by the Statement of Premium of Account (SPA) and their valid Certificate of Exemption. All payments made shall be on cash basis or thru Manager's Check only.

Further inquiries may be referred to the nearest PhilHealth Local Health Insurance Office or to the assigned PhilHealth Account Information Management Specialist (PAIMS).
