Effective April 30, 2026, PhilHealth covers ₱29,000 for a normal spontaneous delivery (up from ₱9,750), plus a separate ₱4,425 newborn care package. It is a fixed lump sum deducted from your bill at accredited facilities.
Is normal delivery really free at a government hospital?
At many government hospital wards and birthing homes, the ₱29,000 PhilHealth case rate plus Zero Balance Billing means eligible members pay little to nothing. Costs rise in private rooms and private hospitals.
