What is the PhilHealth indigent program and who qualifies for it?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

The PhilHealth indigent program is designed to provide health insurance coverage for low-income individuals and families in the Philippines. To qualify, applicants must fall within the designated poverty threshold set by the government, which is usually assessed through a means test. Benefits include coverage for inpatient and outpatient services, as well as certain procedures and medications. To find out if you or a family member qualifies, it's best to consult with a local PhilHealth office or visit their official website for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
