  • Licensed for: prepaid health care plans: agreed health services for enrolled members, for a fixed fee paid in advance for a set period.EO 192 sec. 2
  • Licence: every HMO needs a licence to operate from the Insurance Commission, which issues, renews, suspends and revokes HMO certificates.EO 192 sec. 4(b), 5
  • Not an insurer: life insurance comes from a company on the life list, under a different licence.

How tax applies to the plan

  • Premiums you pay: employees on pure compensation income cannot deduct HMO or health insurance premiums. Since TRAIN, Sec. 34 allows them no deductions, and the old ₱2,400 health premium deduction is gone. Self-employed people and businesses work under the business-expense rules instead. See health insurance for the self-employed.NIRC Sec. 34 as amended by RA 10963, from Jan 1, 2018
  • Worked example: an employee on salary only pays ₱15,000 a year for a family HMO plan. Deduction allowed on the income tax return: ₱0, so taxable income stays the same (Sec. 34 as amended by TRAIN).

Before you sign or pay

  1. Match the company and number. Your contract should name Health Maintenance, Inc., not only the HMI brand, and the licence number shown at the top of this page.
  2. Ask for the seller's IC licence. Ask which HMO they represent and confirm it with HMI.
  3. Pay Health Maintenance, not a person. Keep the official receipts issued in Health Maintenance's name.
