Welcome to the Overseas Workers Program!

In March 1, 2005, PhilHealth assumed the administration of the Medicare Program for Overseas Filipino Workers from the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration by virtue of Executive Order No. 182 as amended. The said transfer of program completed the consolidation of different Medicare programs separately administered by the Government Service Insurance System for public sector workers and the Social Security System for those in the private sector.

It also paved the way for the creation of the Overseas Workers Program or OWP, to which you proudly belong, as a regular membership category in PhilHealth. The OWP covers all land-based overseas Filipino workers whose jobs are covered by appropriate job contracts with overseas-based employers.

Under PhilHealth, your coverage assures you and your family of expanded and more responsive health care benefits. You are assured too of lifetime coverage as soon as you reach the age of retirement and have paid at least 120 month's worth of premiums to PhilHealth!
