THE Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) on Tuesday said that the premium adjustment for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) is appropriate and has been decided upon with the best interest of overseas workers and their families.

The move, which is contained in its Circular 25, s-2013, adjusts the contribution rate from P1,200 to 2, 400 annually starting January next year to rationalize its contribution structure with the rest of members from different categories. This means that Philhealth members will have to pay P1, 200 more on annual contributions starting next year.
