PhilHealth Declaration of Dependents

To declare or update PhilHealth dependents, accomplish a PMRF marked for updating/amendment and submit relationship proofs (for example marriage certificate for spouse; birth/adoption proofs for children; birth proofs for parents as PhilHealth lists). File at a PhilHealth office or through channels PhilHealth publishes (including email paths in newer PCC materials). An updated Member Data Record may be issued. Registration/dependent declaration does not by itself guarantee benefit eligibility for every claim scenario.

Add or update qualified PhilHealth dependents using PMRF updating/amendment with relationship proofs—does not by itself guarantee benefit payment.
