I had the need to find out my PhilHealth number. I didn’t have it among my records. I could have called my friend at our former office, she would have the info. But that’s the less exciting way. How about we try out some e-Government services?
e-Governance: The use of digital technologies to provide government services
Mission: Find out my PhilHealth number via any available e-Governance service.
Attempt 1: PhilHealth hotline via Philippine Information Agency (PIA)
I didn’t have the PhilHealth hotline. But I knew the PIA “Gawin 143” hotline (tel 981-5000, or 1345 on your mobile phone) and I knew that they could connect me to various government agency and LGU hotlines.
Result 1: I chose to connect to the Department of Health. But the DOH hotline kept ringing and ringing. I didn’t bother waiting too long nor trying a second time.
Attempt 2: PhilHealth website ( www.philhealth.gov.ph)
I was hoping to find a form where I could submit my name and it would give me my PhilHealth number.
Result 2: Didn’t find the online service I was hoping for. Either they don’t have that kind of service online or they didn’t advertise it effectively enough for me to find it easily.
Attempt 3: PhilHealth textline (See www.philhealth.gov.ph/txtph.htm)
Ah! There is hope!
To know your PhilHealth Identification Number, type the following:
PHIC[space]PIN[space]LName,FName[space]BDAY(mmddyyyy) and send to 2960For members with extension name (Jr., Sr., III, etc.), type
PHIC[space]PIN[space]LName,FName,ExtensionName[space]BDAY(mmddyyyy) and send to 2960e.g. PHIC PIN CORDERO,ROMMEL,SR
06201974
Result: I tried out the SMS service. It worked like a charm! Mission accomplished!
For More PhilHealth service instructions via SMS, Text in PHIC [space] HELP and send to 2960. Services include information on benefits, dependents, claims status, contact information and employer number.
There are a number of e-Government services out there. Some are lousy, some are exemplary. Let’s try them out more of them and tell people about it.

Don’t you just love SMS?
Ack! No web service? I hate having to pay PhP 2.50 with iffy SMS transactions when I can do stuff over the web for free–or at least with a flat-rate charge, and without having to remember to type in tedious keyword combinations.
At any rate, it’s the general Pinoy public they’re targeting, so SMS is definitely more accessible.
Im trying to contact and visit NSO for several days to no avail.
Daddy Nice Ash,

I see they now accept credit card payments (nuon over the counter lang).

oh my god, they are going to press taxes on e-money too..? (first, e-governance; tomorrow, e-taxes, e-kotong, and e-korakot as well..?)
SSS (www.sss.gov.ph) used to be so dependable whenever I check my contribution. Now, all I see is the annoying “the page cannot be displayed” page!
i want to know if i can register tru entenet to be a philhealth member?
wow it works like a charm indeed! i got it in a minute or two i think! my P2.50 was well spent! thanks a lot for your blog. otherwise i would’ve wasted time looking for it on the philhealth website.
it’s very easy to be a member of PHIL.HEALTH. yet it’s very hard to contact them when you want to follow up for your i.d’s?
if you will dial the hot line (02) 637-99-99, it will take you 15 mins for you to talk an operator and 15 mins for you to connect to local 1014. and worst of all you will be the one to surrender because of infinite ringing then nobody will answer you.
can you do something about it?
i’ve been tyring to know my philhealth number and the philhealth textline did not worked for me. it says ” if you texted…. please call or visit philhealth office…”.
Then again i can’t find my number because i’ll be doing the same thing from the start that i did before logging in. Can somebody help me on this? i’ve been contributing since May 2002 but till now, i can’t find my philhealth number for my dependents to use. please help. thanks.
hi.. gusto ko lang magtanong tungkol sa standing ng husband ko if he still a member of PHILHEALTH…he had the receipt way back year 2000,but he stop contributing the philhealth coz the office needs a birth certificate of his parents. and sad to say his parents dont have that papers. now he stops contributing na.. is he still a member?? i need to know the answer
your instructions from the philhealth txt site is wonderful, hope it helps my friend co’z she’s trying to find her number, but the philhealth txt site is such a crap..page cannot be displayed, and all it’s links..same with SSS, when can government fix these sites..i hope the tax witheld from me does not include updating these sites..
this sms service is a crap. all i got for a response is service temporarily unavailable
pwede po ba ako mag member sa philhealth ONLINE?

It’s a good thing to have an e government service like this one. Keep up the good work and more power!
papano po ang mangyayari kasi po ay hindi ako nakapag bayad ng quarterly due ko nung oct,nov,dec2006 at jan, feb,march 2007? pwede ko pa po bang bayaran lahat ng iyon ngayong may? salamat po sa inyong tugon..
I want to register with PhilHealth. Can I do that online, or is there any PhilHealth Office here in Paranaque or nearby?
Mayron na po bang access para makuha ang contribition list ng isang miyembro sa internet kagaya ng sa SSS? Malaking tulong to sa pasyente at sa pamilya ng pasyente sana to.
paano ko malaman kong nagamit o hindi ang philhealth card ko
hiundi po ako nakapagbayad last year ng contribution ko.kailangan ko po bang bayaran yon kasama ngayon year yung aking philhealth?
astig website nila, laging ‘page cannot be displayed’. tama sabi ni chiqui, “this sms service is a crap. all i got for a response is service temporarily unavailable”. hanggang ngayon service unavailable pa rin.
oist i tried the sms and i got the philhealth number in seconds, i have my philhealth card handy to double chk, people it really works!!!!
i am working at agency company and monthly i have been deducted but how can i sure that i am a philhealth member and how can i get my id?i was deducted almost 2 yrs.
Diana, you have to ask your company’s HRD for your number if you can’t get it via sms. or try calling their hotline and pray you get connected. If they can’t provide you your PhilHealth number, question your HRD kung nagrereport ba talaga sila sa PhilHealth.
rowena, if youre self employed or volunatary member, you can no longer pay for last year’s contri. no retro payments e.. you can pay for the current quarter, like ngayon, jul-sept ang pwede mo bayaran up until the last working day of sept.
this is amazing! thank you so much! i wonder if the HDMF Pag-Ibig Fund have the same. I’ll soon find out. Keep it up!

PhilHealth textline works only for smart subscribers only.

you can check your philhealth remittances through any philhealth office nearest you. just go to our One-Stop-Shop and give the details. please be informed that only posted remittance will be seen in our system

2. Mga anak (legitimate, illegitimate, legitimated, adopted o step) na mababa sa 21 taon, walang asawa at hindi nagtatrabaho
3. Mga magulang (step o adoptive) 60 taon at pataas na hindi myembro

ask ko lang tungkol sa refund ng Philhealth sino ba ang mag claim, ang member ba o ang employer na syang nagbabayad ng hospital bills ko?
pwede pa ba maclaim ang philhealth maternity khit almost three years na ako nakapanganak. member ako ng philhealth at sss kaya lng bago me manganak dko sya nahulugan for more than a year kc nawalan ako ng work. posible ba ng may mkuha ako kc caesarian delivery ako malaki gastos tapos wala me nakuha kahit sa sss kc im not aware of it. tnx
how come my new employer and who is the curren paying /remmitting employee is not indicated in my MDR, this is very incovenient as we have been asked by the hospital to pay for Philhealth’s portion when I have been paying for years as Philhealth member. and just because Philhealth does not update their Data Base.. the poor patient is left with no choice but pay the entire amount despite of the requirenments presented. I think Philhealth should regularly update their data base to prevent inconvencience on the part of its members,…
We have hard time to log in PHILHEALTH PPRS. Always stated file cannot find on C:\PDOXUSRS.NET
