How do I check my PhilHealth contributions and membership status?

Short answer
Create a PhilHealth Member Portal account at philhealth.gov.ph to view and print your Member Data Record (MDR) — it shows your 12-digit PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN, in a 2-9-1 format like 07-123456789-1), your member category, your posted contributions, and your listed dependents. You can also get an MDR printout at any Local Health Insurance Office (LHIO) with a valid ID, or call the Corporate Action Center at (02) 8662-2588 (24/7) / email actioncenter@philhealth.gov.ph to recover a lost PIN or check your record. This matters because if you are an employed direct contributor, you generally need at least 3 monthly contributions within the 6 months before confinement (the '3/6' rule) to avail benefits — while indigent, sponsored, and senior members are continuously eligible and do not need to check contributions at all.

Frequently asked
What is the MDR and why does it matter?
The Member Data Record is your official membership record: your PIN, your member category, and your listed dependents. Hospitals check it to apply your benefits and to know your accommodation entitlements. Confirm your dependents are correctly listed before you ever reach a hospital counter — a missing or wrong dependent is a common reason a benefit is not auto-applied.
I don't know or lost my PIN — what do I do?
Inquire at any PhilHealth office or LHIO with a valid ID, or contact the Corporate Action Center ((02) 8662-2588, actioncenter@philhealth.gov.ph) for PIN recovery. If you are employed, your employer's HR can also give you your PIN. Do not register a second time — a duplicate PIN causes record problems.
How many contributions do I need to be covered?
For a direct contributor (employed, self-earning, professional, migrant worker), the general rule is at least 3 monthly contributions within the immediate 6 months before the first day of confinement. Indigent, sponsored, 4Ps, PWD, and senior-citizen indirect contributors are continuously eligible and are not subject to the 3/6 rule (PhilHealth claim-form guidelines; RA 11223).
