If you are already a PhilHealth member, you should have paid at least nine months of premium contributions within the year before the first day of your confinement for the birth of your child. Of the nine monthly contributions, at least three contribution payments should fall within six months before the first day of confinement. Let us say you’re due to give birth in December. You should have paid your premium monthly contributions for at least nine months before your due date month — three of which should have been done between June to December or within six months before you are confined in the hospital to give birth.
