PhilHealth Portal: registration, portal account, MDR and contributions

This is an independent educational guide to PhilHealth. It is not the official PhilHealth website and is not affiliated with PhilHealth or the Philippine government.

Which journey are you on?

Getting a PIN, creating a portal account, signing in, and viewing your MDR are four different processes. Pick the one that matches your situation.

No PhilHealth number yet

First-time membership and PIN

Register through the eGovPH app, the Member Portal, or a walk-in LHIO. Online registrations receive a 12-digit PIN by email within 3–5 working days. Walk-in registrations receive the PIN and MDR on the spot.

You already have a PIN

Create a Member Portal account

Portal account creation is a separate step from registration. Enter your 12-digit PIN, set a password, then click the activation link sent to your email. Until you activate, you cannot sign in.

Account already activated

Sign in and view your record

Sign in with your PIN and password to check your membership profile, dependents, and posted premium contributions. MDR download and printing are available after sign-in.

Record or payment

MDR, contributions and payment

Download your MDR, check posted contributions, and — if you are self-paying — generate a Statement of Premium Account (SPA) before paying. Self-paying members cannot pay without an SPA.

What the Member Portal can and cannot do

The PhilHealth Member Portal at memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph is the official online facility for members who already have a 12-digit PIN. After creating an account and activating it by email, you can:

  • View your membership profile and qualified dependents
  • Check posted premium contributions
  • Download and print your Member Data Record (MDR)
  • Generate a Statement of Premium Account (SPA) if you are self-paying

What it does not do: it is not a new-member registration form. New PIN applications run through a separate “PhilHealth Member Registration” link, the eGovPH app, or a walk-in LHIO. Category changes, name corrections and dependent amendments generally still require a PMRF and supporting documents, submitted in person or by email to your regional office.

How much is the PhilHealth contribution in 2026?

For 2026, the premium is 5% of monthly basic salary. PhilHealth describes this as the final scheduled rate under the Universal Health Care Act (RA 11223).

  • Floor: ₱10,000 monthly salary → ₱500 monthly premium
  • Ceiling: ₱100,000 monthly salary → ₱5,000 monthly premium
  • Employed members: premium is split equally — 2.5% employee, 2.5% employer
  • Self-paying and voluntary members: full 5%, computed on declared monthly income

Self-paying members must generate an SPA before paying. PhilHealth applies a “No SPA, no payment” rule for this category.

Step-by-step

Getting a PIN vs. creating a portal account

These are separate processes. Doing them in the wrong order — or using the wrong link — is the most common reason people get stuck.

A. Getting your PIN (new member)

Online registration sends the PIN by email in 3–5 working days. Walk-in registration issues it on the spot.

  1. Check whether you already have a PIN If you have worked or contributed before, ask PhilHealth to check for an existing PIN first. Registering twice creates a duplicate record that can slow down a later benefit claim.
  2. Choose a registration channel Register through the eGovPH Super App, the Member Portal at memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph, or a walk-in Local Health Insurance Office (LHIO) with a completed PMRF.
  3. Submit the registration form Provide your personal details, address, civil status, and a working email address you can access immediately. Registration is free through all three channels.
  4. Wait for the PIN Online registrations receive a 12-digit PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) by email within three to five working days. Walk-in registrations are issued the PIN and MDR on the spot.
  5. Keep the PIN safe The PIN is the identifier you will use for portal account creation, dependent declarations, and benefit claims. Store it somewhere you will find it again.

B. Creating a portal account (existing PIN)

You need the PIN first. Without an activated account you cannot sign in, view your MDR, or pay.

  1. Open the Member Portal Go to memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph/member/. Use Chrome or Firefox for the most reliable experience.
  2. Choose “Create Account” On the Member Portal, “Create Account” is for existing members. The separate “PhilHealth Member Registration” link is for new PIN applications — do not use it if you already have a PIN.
  3. Enter your PIN and details Provide your 12-digit PIN and the personal details that match your PhilHealth record. Mismatched details are the most common reason activation fails.
  4. Set a password Choose a password you do not use elsewhere. The portal does not support two-factor authentication, so a unique password matters.
  5. Activate by email Click the activation link sent to your registered email address. If it does not arrive within a few minutes, check the spam folder before requesting a new link.
  6. Sign in Return to the portal and sign in with your PIN and password. You can now view your MDR, contribution history, and dependents.

Plain-language walkthroughs

Each guide explains the documented steps in the order PhilHealth publishes them, without bureaucratic phrasing.

Journeys kept separate

Registration, portal account creation, sign-in, and MDR download are treated as four distinct tasks so you do not follow the wrong instructions.

Link to the official portal

Every transaction step links to philhealth.gov.ph or the Member Portal. This site does not process registrations, payments, or record changes.

Rates with a date

Contribution figures include the year they apply to and the source. Where a rule has changed recently, the guide says so.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers are tied to the PhilHealth advisory or PIA report they come from. Where a rule has changed, the answer says so.

How do I register for PhilHealth and get a PIN?
Registration is free and runs through three official channels: the eGovPH Super App, the PhilHealth Member Portal at memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph, or a walk-in Local Health Insurance Office (LHIO) with a completed PMRF. Online registrations receive a 12-digit PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) by email within three to five working days. Walk-in registrations are issued the PIN and MDR on the spot. If you have worked or contributed before, ask PhilHealth to check for an existing PIN first — registering twice creates a duplicate record.
Is registering for a PIN the same as creating a Member Portal account?
No, and the two are often confused. Registration is how you obtain a PIN in the first place. Portal account creation is a separate step for people who already have a PIN: you enter the PIN on the portal, set a password, and click an activation link sent to your email. You cannot create a portal account without a PIN, and you cannot sign in to the portal until the account is activated.
How much is the PhilHealth contribution in 2026?
For 2026, the premium is 5% of monthly basic salary, which is the final scheduled rate under the Universal Health Care Act (RA 11223). The salary floor is ₱10,000, so the minimum monthly premium is ₱500. The ceiling is ₱100,000, so the maximum is ₱5,000. Employed members split the premium equally with their employer (2.5% each). Self-paying and voluntary members pay the full 5% based on their declared monthly income. Source: PhilHealth 2026 premium advisory, reported by PIA in May 2026.
How do I create a Member Portal account if I already have a PIN?
Go to memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph/member/ and click Create Account — not the separate “PhilHealth Member Registration” link, which is for new PIN applications. Enter your 12-digit PIN and the personal details that match your PhilHealth record, then set a password. PhilHealth sends an activation link to your registered email; click it, then sign in with your PIN and password. If the activation email does not arrive, check the spam folder before requesting a new link.
How do I check my PhilHealth contributions online?
After signing in to the Member Portal, open your contribution history to see posted premium payments and any months that are not yet credited. Your MDR also shows membership status and qualified dependents. If a payment you made is missing, keep the receipt and raise it with your employer (if employed) or the nearest LHIO. The PhilHealth Action Center can also check records by phone at (02) 8441-7442.
How do I download my MDR?
Sign in to the Member Portal and open the MDR section. The portal generates a PDF of your Member Data Record showing your member details, contribution status, and qualified dependents. Download and print it for hospital admissions, benefit claims, or your own records. The download and print are free.
How do I pay my PhilHealth contribution as a self-paying member?
Self-paying members must first generate a Statement of Premium Account (SPA) through the Member Portal — the SPA acts as the billing statement. With the SPA in hand, you can pay online through GCash (Bills → Government → PhilHealth), the portal checkout, or over the counter through accredited collecting partners including LandBank, DBP, and Bayad Center. PhilHealth enforces a “No SPA, no payment” rule for self-paying members, so generate the SPA before paying.
I forgot my PhilHealth number. How do I recover it?
Contact the PhilHealth Action Center at (02) 8441-7442, email actioncenter@philhealth.gov.ph, or visit any PhilHealth office or LHIO with a valid ID. Due to data privacy rules, you cannot look up a PIN by name alone online. Check old payslips, your MDR, or any previous PhilHealth ID card first.
How do I update my PhilHealth member information?
Not every update can be completed online. PhilHealth lists three routes: (1) submitting a completed PMRF, with “For Updating” ticked, at an LHIO or by email to your regional office together with supporting documents; (2) using the Member Portal; and (3) using the eGovPH app. Simple contact-detail changes may be possible through the portal, but category changes, name corrections, and dependent amendments often still require a PMRF and supporting documents. Confirm the route for your specific change before travelling to an office.
Do senior citizens still pay PhilHealth contributions?
No. Under Republic Act No. 10645, Filipino senior citizens aged 60 and above are covered by PhilHealth without paying premiums; their contributions are subsidised by the government. Make sure your membership record reflects senior citizen status so the exemption applies.
How do OFWs register with PhilHealth?
OFWs register as direct contributors through the same three channels — eGovPH, the Member Portal, or a walk-in LHIO — usually with an Overseas Employment Certificate or a valid overseas employment contract instead of local employer paperwork. OFW contribution rules have changed in recent years, so confirm the current monthly basis with the PhilHealth OFW desk or your agency before remitting.
Is this the official PhilHealth website?
No. This is an independent educational resource that explains PhilHealth processes and links to the official portal. It is not affiliated with PhilHealth or the Philippine government. For transactions, PIN issuance, and payments, use philhealth.gov.ph or memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph directly.
