Covering your household helpers under the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation

In preparation of the implementation of Batas Kasambahay Act of 2004 which will soon take effect, it is also a requirement to cover your household helpers under the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth).

As a household employer, you must require your household helpers to apply for a PHILHEALTH Identification Number (PIN). Once your household helper has obtained his PIN, you can start paying for your household helper's PHILHEALTH quarterly contribution, which is P300 a quarter. Use Form MI-5 (PHILHEALTH Contributions Payment Return) as you pay the quarterly contribution for your household helpers. You may pay at any PHILHEALTH accredited banks such as the Philippine National Bank.

For everyone's information.
