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

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

The PhilHealth indigent program provides health insurance coverage to low-income individuals and families in the Philippines. Eligibility generally includes being listed in the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) and meeting specific income criteria. Enrolled beneficiaries receive access to a wide range of healthcare services with minimal out-of-pocket expenses. For detailed eligibility requirements and to check your status, it's best to consult the official PhilHealth website or your local PhilHealth office.
