Description
The whole concept of membership in a Health Financing Scheme/Health Insurance Plan (HIP) involves contribution to a common fund, in the form of premiums or contributions, entitling each member to a specified benefit, with contributions and premiums not being returned when no benefit was utilized (except in some dividend paying funds). The idea of pooling funds also entails some sharing of risk, where the healthy (those who did not avail of benefits) subsidize or help pay for the needs of the sick (those who avail of benefits). At the point of service, use may be free, discounted, or to be fully paid for reimbursement (full or partial) depending on the type of plan or coverage.
Members of PhilHealth are:
i. salaried government employees including temporary, emergency, casual and contractual appointees;
ii. currently employed SSS members including registered self-employed; and
iii. retired or separated employees who opted to continue membership within 6 months from date of separation by paying his contribution plus the employer's counterpart.
