What do I need to know about PhilHealth membership for senior citizens in the Philippines?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

Senior citizens in the Philippines are entitled to PhilHealth coverage, which provides access to a range of healthcare services. As a senior, you may be automatically registered with PhilHealth if you are a member of Social Security System (SSS) or Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). It's essential to ensure that your contributions are up-to-date and to present your senior citizen ID when availing of benefits. For detailed information about your eligibility and benefits, it's best to visit the official PhilHealth website or contact their customer service.
