hi po, im confused… could you clarify when to use http://www.philhealth.gov.ph/circulars/2012/circ57_2012.pdf and
http://www.philhealth.gov.ph/circulars/2012/circ11_2012.pdf ?
thanks
Hi, just use the most recent memorandum circular which is 57-2012. The MC 11-2012 was repealed by this circular.
Hi po, could you clarify
2 tables are different & are:
a) Corporate table (http://gvacpas.com/2013/01/18/philhealth-contribution-table-effective-january-1-2013/)
b) Partners table (http://www.philhealth.gov.ph/partners/employers/) refer to
Hi Irwin, unfortunately, the table in http://www.philhealth.gov.ph/partners/employers/ is outdated as of today. Just follow the circular indicated in this blog post or you could refer to the MC 57-2012. Better yet, you can contact your nearest PHIC branch. 🙂
Hi Irwin, try this link from PHIC http://www.philhealth.gov.ph/members/employed/
Hi, I have a problem w/ my vision again. I haven’t updated my payments for the past years. Can I pay for the required number of quarters in advance so I can visit my doctor asap for the treatment. I believe this is urgent, but as i’ve said my Philhealth isn’t updated po. If possible, please reply through my email. Tnx po!
good day po! ask ko lang po kung ano dapat gawin kasi po hndi po ako nakapag hulog nung march quarterly po kc ako nag start ako nung september may penalty po ba yun pwede ko pa ba magamit?
ah kung nag 9 months contributions ka ay puede ka pang mag bayad ng retroactive hanggang april 30 2013 pero pag hnd kpa naka pag contribute ng 9 months ay hnd ka na maka pag retroactive puede mong e continue na lng to apy the 2nd quarter tnx.
sir mam
gud pm ask lng nagwork po kasi 2 years nagresign n po ako last march 22.nagtrbaho po ako last dec 2011 to march 2013 pwede ko po b ituloy ung hulog.maggamit ko parin po b sya s panganganak ko manganganak po kasi ako ngyn june
Ituloy nyo po yung remittance nyo sa philhealth. Ang pinakamabuti po nyan is to visit your nearest PHIC branch and mg-update na po kayo ng information.
hi po
ask ko lng din po nagresign po ako ngyn march lng debale kpag nagself employed ako magkano po bbyaran kya lng po d pa po kasi nbbgy ng company ko ung certificate ko
Depende rin po sa inyo kung gusto nyo yung minimum contributions lng based on the updated PHIC contribution table. Ang importante po sa payment you do it in a monthly basis para active lagi yung account nyo
gooday mag tanong ako sa inyo bakit hindi ko makita ang record ko sa philhealth at ang sabi sa aking ay prothocol daw na huwag mag bigay ng listahan ng mga nahulugang. mayroon ba akong dapat malaman tungkol dito.is my duty to know.
Sundan nyo po yung protocol na sinasabi nila. You need to apply at PhilHealth for the generation of a report that will show your contributions.
hi fixed po ba ang contribution pag employed or depende sa sahod?
Gd day! Ask ko lng po if nagstart yong contribution january 2013 at 9 months yong binayaran pwd napo ba magamit sa panganganak if august 2013 yong kabuwanan?
hello po. Tungkol po ito sa bagong premium contribution na 87.50php ang employer share pati rin po ang employee share. Fixed po yung salary namin sa 5,000php. Pag po inilalagay sa RF1 Excel para po sa employer’s quarterly remmitance report, ang nalabas po ay yung dating contribution na 62.50. Hindi po siya mapalitan. May bago ba pong download ang philhealth na RF1 Excel para po makagawa ng remmitance report for 2013?
Hi, unfortunately RF1 is not yet updated. Just indicate the 87.50 remittance regardless of the bracket.
