The new card known as the I-PhilHealthy Card is the first project under the Public Private Partnership Scheme that will be implemented by PhilHealth. Under this scheme, PhilHealth may engage in partnerships with private establishments or merchants which are interested in offering their services or providing product discounts and other incentives to PhilHealth members. Through this, PhilHealth members need not be confined, admitted or undergo surgery to avail PhilHealth benefits as they are able to avail the privileges offered by partner merchants.



What documents are needed to apply for an I-PhilHealthy card?

  • Non-PhilHealth member. Unemployed and employed members not yet registered with PhilHealth (those without PhilHealth numbers) will be required to submit a fully accomplished PhilHealth Membership Registration Form (PMRF) with attached supporting documents for the principal member and declared dependents.

New registrants shall pay a total of Php360.00 when applying in SM outlets (distributed as Php50.00 for registrationand card fees, Php300.00 for one quarter payment and Php10.00 collecting fee) or Php358.00 in CIS Bayad Centers (comprising of Php50.00 for registration and card fees, Php300 for one quarter payment and Php8.00 collection fee);
