QUESTION:
My husband and I are both employed Philhealth members. Can my husband register me as his dependent so that in case of hospitalization, I will use my Philhealth and my husband's Philhealth and therefore get a higher Philhealth deduction?
ANSWER:
No. You are not allowed to be a Philhealth member and a Philhealth dependent at the same time.
You are also not allowed to use 2 or more Philhealth memberships to cover your hospitalization.
You use only 1 Philhealth membership -- your own membership.
A Philhealth dependent can only use 1 Philhealth membership (membership of only 1 of his parents, or membership of only 1 of his children, or membership of his spouse).
