working in both private and public sectors must register
with PhilHealth and pay monthly contributions to ensure
that companies provide health coverage and benefits to
their employees. PhilHealth contributions deduct 50%
from an employee’s monthly paycheck while the other
50% will be shouldered by their employers.

hospitalization of its members and their beneficiaries.
