How do indigent families avail of health insurance coverage under the Sponsored Program?
The Sponsored Program is open to qualified indigents belonging to the lowest 25% of the Philippine population. Families that will be given health insurance coverage for one year are identified through the family data survey using the framework of Community-based Information System - Minimum Basic Needs or CBIS-MBN. The CBIS-MBN is being conducted by the Department of Social Welfare and Development through its local social welfare development offices.
Who shoulders the premiums for qualified indigents?
The Sponsored Program is being made possible through the partnership of PhilHealth and sponsors such as local governments (LGUs), private individuals and corporations and members of Congress, among others.
The National Government (through PhilHealth) and the abovementioned sponsors jointly pay the annual premium of Php 1,200 for each enrolled family.
