Philhealth is one of
the government mandatory benefits in the Philippines. It aims to provide
medical assistance to nearly the entire population. It caters the five patient
groups as : the workers; the Retirees; the OFWs; the indigents ; and the
Non-poor and others.
Benefits package are
the same for each group except for indigents and the OFWs who have additional
outpatient primary care benefits.
