  • 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).
