Quick answer
To learn how to pay PhilHealth online, generate a Statement of Premium Account (SPA) in the Member Portal, choose an accredited collecting agent, pay by e-wallet, card or online banking, then save the electronic acknowledgement receipt (ePAR). Some e-wallets also list PhilHealth as a biller in their bills section.†

Who pays PhilHealth directly?

If you are employed, your employer deducts your share and remits it, so you usually do not pay yourself. The steps below are for members who pay directly: self-earning individuals, freelancers, voluntary members, OFWs and other direct contributors. To know how much to pay, use the PhilHealth contribution table.

PhilHealth accredited collecting agents and payment channels

PhilHealth collects premiums through Accredited Collecting Agents (ACAs). These are banks, bills-payment centers, e-wallets and other partners authorized to accept payments. The official list changes, so check it on philhealth.gov.ph before paying.†

E-wallets

Pay through GCash, Maya and similar apps, either via the portal’s payment partner or a PhilHealth biller entry.

Cards

Debit, credit and prepaid cards through the portal’s payment partner.

Banks

Online banking and over-the-counter payment at partner banks.

Payment centers

Bayad Center outlets, SM bills payment counters and some LGUs.

Pay PhilHealth contribution online through the Member Portal

  1. 1Log in to your account. Need help? See PhilHealth login.
  2. 2Open the Payment Management module and choose Generate Statement of Premium Account (SPA).
  3. 3Select the number of months you want to pay. The portal has allowed one month up to three years and computes the amount from your declared income.†
  4. 4Confirm the SPA and click Pay. Choose an accredited collecting agent.
  5. 5Pay with your e-wallet, card or other listed method. A convenience or service fee may apply.†
  6. 6Wait for the confirmation, then save the ePAR from your SPA history, email or SMS.

PhilHealth payment GCash: two ways to pay

There are two common routes:
  • ✓Through the portal SPA: generate the SPA, choose the payment partner, then select GCash and enter the OTP and MPIN.
  • ✓As a biller in the GCash app: open Bills, choose Government, select PhilHealth, enter your details, review and pay. GCash added this option in late 2024.†
Always screenshot the confirmation. If the payment does not show in the portal, that receipt is your proof.

PhilHealth payment Maya, cards and online banking

  • ✓Maya and other wallets: use the payment partner listed after you generate the SPA, or the biller list in the app if available.†
  • ✓Cards: choose the card option on the partner page and complete 3-D Secure verification.
  • ✓Online banking: use the bills-payment section of your bank if PhilHealth is listed, or pay a generated SPA at the bank.†
  • ✓Check the amount, period and PIN before confirming. Payments cannot easily be undone.

Paying over the counter: banks, Bayad Center and SM

If you prefer cash, bring your PIN, name and the SPA or payment slip. Accredited partners have included many banks, Bayad Center outlets, SM bills payment counters and selected local government offices.† Keep the official receipt.

How OFWs pay PhilHealth from abroad

  • ✓Use overseas collecting partners or remittance agents that PhilHealth has accredited, such as international remittance companies.†
  • ✓Some partners and portal options also accept online payment from abroad.
  • ✓Ask a relative to pay locally with your PIN and SPA, and keep the receipt.
  • ✓Keep your income category updated so the right amount is computed.

SPA and PhilHealth ePAR: the two documents that matter

Statement of Premium Account (SPA)

Your billing statement. It lists the months, the amount and the due date, and you present or reference it when you pay.

Electronic PhilHealth Acknowledgement Receipt (ePAR)

Your proof of payment. Keep it until the payment posts in your contribution history.

Paying PhilHealth for several months or in advance

Self-paying members can choose the number of months when generating the SPA. Paying in advance protects you from missed deadlines, but keep your income declaration updated because the SPA uses it to compute the amount. For the amount per month, use the PhilHealth contribution table.†

What to do if your PhilHealth payment fails or does not post

  1. 1Check your e-wallet or bank for a debit and keep a screenshot.
  2. 2Wait a few days for posting, especially over weekends and holidays.
  3. 3Look for the ePAR in your email, SMS or SPA history.
  4. 4If money left your account but there is no ePAR, contact the payment partner with your reference number.
  5. 5Send the receipt and your PIN to PhilHealth if the contribution still does not show.

How to pay at a bank or payment center

  1. 1Generate or request your SPA or payment slip, or prepare your PIN, full name and payment period.
  2. 2Go to an accredited partner. Check the partner list on philhealth.gov.ph first.†
  3. 3Give the teller your details, pay the exact amount and ask for an official receipt.
  4. 4Photograph the receipt and keep the original.
  5. 5Check your Member Portal after a few days.

PhilHealth payment deadlines for self-paying members

Self-paying members have historically been asked to pay by the end of each quarter, and the SPA shows the due date for the months you select.† Paying earlier is safer than paying on the last day, because bank cut-offs and holidays can delay posting.

Paying PhilHealth for someone else

You can pay for a relative if you have their PIN, full name and the correct period. Use the same channels and keep the receipt. For a member who is employed, do not pay separately, because the employer already remits the premium.

Overpayments and duplicate payments

If you paid twice or paid for a period that was already covered, contact PhilHealth with your receipts and PIN. Overpayments may be applied to future periods or adjusted according to PhilHealth’s rules.†
