PhilHealth ID card is one of the government-issued IDs that you can get fast if you are in need of valid IDs. You can use it to apply for utility services, open a bank account, apply for other government IDs and etc.
Requirements
To apply for a PhilHealth ID card, you only need to bring with you a valid ID. For example, Company ID, UMID, TIN, and etc.
Procedure
Before you go to any PhilHealth office, it is recommended to call their contact center first to confirm if the branch processes ID cards. Their hotline number is 441-7444.
The customer service hotline is open from 9 AM to 5 PM (Weekdays). You may call them as well to verify your number if your previous or current employer didn’t give you a copy yet.
You can drop by to the PhilHealth San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Branch if you are within Metro Manila or near Pasig city. You can apply for an ID card there and get it within the same day. The office is in the DAP Building near Shangri-La and Megamall. Just approach the personnel in the reception area and ask where to fall in line for the ID card. Click here for the location map.
You can go to any servicing branch as well to register as a new member and apply for an ID card at the same time.

Your PhilHealth number is permanent like your TIN (Tax Identification Number). In case you lost your ID, you can apply for a replacement for free without the need to apply for a new number.
The ID card is made from paper. You’ll be the one to attach 1 x 1 picture and laminate it.

February 1, 2015: PhilHealth is now issuing new identification cards made of PVC. I have not submitted an application yet because I need to clarify the procedure first. As per the rep I have talked with, it costs ₱90.00, and I should coordinate with our company’s HR. I’ll be updating this post once I got mine.

How to apply for a PhilHealth card (the ATM type PhilHealth ID)?. What are the requirements and how long will it take to get it?
Just to clarify, they will ask only one valid ID right? ‘Coz when I asked them if I can get another card because my PhilHealth ID was lost, they’ve given me requirements before I can get a new one and with those requirements, it includes 2 valid IDs and I was frustrated because that is the reason why I needed to get another card becauseI only have one valid ID. (Maybe they have misheard me or something and thought I needed to get a whole new PhilHealth number?, Or is it because I already got one and since it was lost, I needed to submit additional requirements?). I’m confused. Can you guys help me with this?
Thank you. This is very helpful.

Hi! Where can I apply for a Philhealth plastic card? My friend got hers when PhilHealth went to their company (Stream/CVG Ortigas). Where can we apply for plastic card ID instead of the paper one?. Thanks!
I was informed that PhilHealth is releasing PVC-type ID cards so I called them recently to inquire. If what the gentleman said on the other line is correct, the employer must help you out. You need to coordinate about the process with your company’s Human Resources. I’m not sure though if third party companies can provide the required form. I’ll be clarifying this matter as well with our company if time permits, then I’ll be updating this post as soon as I can.
P.S.: The new ID card costs ₱90.00.
You said a company ID will do. My Company ID does not show any signature; just my name and picture. Will that be accepted? Thanks.
I don’t remember them verifying my signature though. As long as it is still valid, then you can present your company ID to them.

Haven’t tried it but in my opinion, they will be able to pull up your record using your birth certificate.
Thanks for your response. I actually have my philhealth #. My concern is.. can i apply for a replacement of philhealth i.d. with only a birth certificate to show to them, because i think one of their requirements for philhealth i.d. replacement is atleast one valid i.d.
I called PhilHealth hotline earlier to verify. The lady said they accept Birth Certificate as a valid identification. A photocopy will do.
