Bills Payment the Easy Way!!!

The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) was created in 1995 to create a universal health coverage for thePhilippines. It is a tax-exempt, government-owned and government-controlled corporation (GOCC) of the Philippines, and is attached to the Department of Health. It states its goal as insuring a sustainable national health insurance program for all.

 

In 2010, it claimed to have achieved "universal" coverage with 86% of the population, although the 2008 National Demographic Health Survey showed that only 38 percent of respondents were aware of at least one household member being enrolled in PhilHealth.

 

Nevertheless, this social insurance program provides a means for the healthy to pay for the care of the sick and for those who can afford medical care to subsidize those who cannot. Both local and national government allocate funds to subsidize the indigent.
