What do division code and station code mean?
Division Code = Regional Office
The division code is the two-digit code that identifies which PhilHealth Regional Office has jurisdiction over your area. The Philippines is divided into 17 regions, and each region has a unique division code (01 to 17). For example, NCR is 01, Region III is 03, and Region VII is 07.
Station Code = LHIO Branch
The station code identifies the specific LHIO (Local Health Insurance Office) or branch where your records are filed. It is typically a four-digit number where the first two digits match the division code. For example, LHIO Cebu City has station code 0701 — Region VII, station 01.
The golden rule: when in doubt, leave it blank
These fields are administrative codes used by PhilHealth staff for record routing. If you're filling out a paper form at a branch, the receiving officer will fill these in for you. If you're registering online, the system usually auto-populates them. Never guess.

Common mistakes to avoid
Putting your ZIP code instead of division code
The division code is NOT your postal ZIP code. It is PhilHealth's internal regional code. Putting your ZIP code will cause your form to be filed under the wrong region.
Guessing the station code
Never guess. If you don't know the exact LHIO code, leave it blank or ask the PhilHealth staff. Wrong station codes can delay processing for weeks.
Putting your PhilHealth number in these fields
Your PIN is a different identifier entirely. The division and station codes are location codes, not member identifiers.
Assuming all forms require these fields
Many modern online forms auto-populate these fields based on your selected address. If the field is marked optional or auto-filled, don't override it.
Using an outdated code list
PhilHealth occasionally reorganizes LHIOs. Always verify codes with your local branch or the official PhilHealth directory.
Pro tips for filling out these fields
- Check if the field is marked optional — many forms auto-fill these.
- If submitting at a branch, ask the staff to fill in the codes for you.
- For online registration, select your province and city correctly — the system will assign the right division code.
- Keep a copy of your submitted form with codes filled in for future reference.
- If you moved to a new region, update your PhilHealth record with your new address so your division code stays correct.
