Interviewer instructions
For family members who availed of PHILHEALTH during the reference period, report not only cash portion paid but also the benefits availed of from PHILHEALTH program. Enter the total amount paid including the one that came from PHILHEALTH in the specific item listed under D3 (a). Do not report the benefits availed from the PHILHEALTH under D3 (b) as gift because PHILHEALTH is a fringe benefit of an employee and therefore is part of earnings which shall be reported in Part III - A. Do likewise for employees getting free medical supplies as a fringe benefit.
For those who were beneficiaries of a health insurance other than PHILHEALTH, enter the amount availed of from the insurance in the appropriate item in D3 (a) but the corresponding amount should be reported as withdrawals from savings.
Medical and dental fees paid by the students are considered part of their school fees; therefore these should be entered in D1 - Education. However, if there were payments made by the students when treated, these should be reported in this expenditure group under D3 (a). Expenses paid for drug test as requirement for securing a driver's license should be reported under item 7 (Other medical and health services). However, no imputation should be made for students in public schools who have undergone drug test as school requirement.
