The PhilHealth Konsulta Package (Konsultasyong Sulit at Tama) is a cornerstone of the Universal Health Care (UHC) Law, offering free or affordable primary healthcare services to all Filipinos. Designed to prioritize prevention and early intervention, this outpatient benefit package ensures accessible, quality care for registered PhilHealth members. Here’s a concise guide to what it offers and how to avail of it.
What is the PhilHealth Konsulta Package?
The Konsulta Package provides comprehensive primary care to protect Filipinos against chronic illnesses, avoid complications through early detection, and provide affordable drugs and medicines. With a budget of up to PHP 1,700 per patient annually (as confirmed by PhilHealth Circular 2024-0013 effective January 1, 2024), it covers:
- Consultation: Free check-ups with primary care professionals.
- Health Risk Screening and Assessment: Identifies potential health risks early.
- Selected Laboratory and Diagnostic Tests: Includes 15 tests like complete blood count (CBC), urinalysis, lipid profile, mammogram, ultrasound, and more for early detection of conditions like diabetes or breast cancer.
- Selected Drugs and Medicines: Access to 53 essential medications for conditions such as asthma, hypertension, diabetes, and infections like pneumonia or urinary tract infections.
The program reduces hospital admissions and promotes healthier communities by emphasizing preventive care. The 2025 expansion also integrates mobile health apps and online portals for easier appointment scheduling and access to medical records.
Who Can Avail of the Konsulta Package?
All Filipinos, as automatic PhilHealth members under the UHC Law, are eligible—whether direct contributors (employed individuals) or indirect contributors (senior citizens, indigents, or sponsored members).

Why It Matters
The Konsulta Package is a lifeline for Filipinos, reducing financial burdens and promoting early detection for better health outcomes. Despite its benefits, awareness remains low—only a small fraction of Filipinos utilized it in 2024. By registering, you secure your health and contribute to a stronger national healthcare system.
