Many Filipinos are not aware that PhilHealth now offers up to ₱20,000 per year in free outpatient medicines through the YAKAP Program.
If you or your family members are PhilHealth members, this is something you should definitely know about.
What Is PhilHealth YAKAP?
YAKAP stands for “Yaman ng Kalusugan at Proteksyon.”
It is PhilHealth’s expanded primary care benefit designed to help members:
✔️ Get free consultations
✔️ Access preventive care
✔️ Receive essential laboratory tests
✔️ Obtain prescribed outpatient medicines
Instead of only covering hospital confinement, this program focuses on preventing illness and managing chronic conditions early — so you don’t end up hospitalized.
💸 How Much Is Covered?
Eligible members can receive:
➡️ Up to ₱20,000 per year
➡️ For outpatient medicines and primary care services
➡️ No hospital admission required
This is not a loan and does not need to be paid back. It is part of your PhilHealth benefit.
💊 What Conditions Are Covered?
YAKAP supports treatment for common chronic and long-term conditions such as:
• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Diabetes
• Asthma
• Heart conditions
• High cholesterol
• Other maintenance-related illnesses
These are conditions that require regular monitoring and medication — which can become expensive over time. YAKAP helps reduce that financial burden.
👥 Who Can Avail?
You may qualify if you are:
✔️ An active PhilHealth member
✔️ An indigent or sponsored member
✔️ A senior citizen
✔️ A qualified dependent
For employed or voluntary members, contributions must be updated.
🩺 How to Avail the YAKAP Benefit
1. Register with an accredited PhilHealth YAKAP primary care provider.
2. Consult with the assigned doctor.
3. If eligible, the doctor will prescribe medicines under the program.
4. Claim your medicines through authorized partner providers.
Always bring your PhilHealth ID or PIN when visiting.
You may also check the PhilHealth Member Portal or inquire directly at your nearest PhilHealth office for guidance.
🙌 Why This Is Important
Many Filipinos:
• Stop taking maintenance medicines because of cost
• Do not go for check-ups due to expenses
• Are unaware that they already have this benefit
Healthcare should not only be for emergencies. Preventive care saves lives — and money.
If you know someone with maintenance medications for high blood, diabetes, or asthma, share this post. This information could truly help them.
Let’s help more Filipinos understand and maximize their benefits.
