Step-by-step Maya payment guide

  1. Open the Maya app

    Launch the Maya app on your phone. If you don't have it yet, download it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Make sure your Maya account is upgraded and has sufficient balance or a linked payment method.

  2. Go to "Pay Bills"

    From the Maya home screen, tap the "Bills" or "Pay Bills" icon. This will take you to the bill payment section where you can browse biller categories.

  3. Select "Government" category

    In the biller list, tap "Government" to filter government agencies. Maya organizes billers by category — PhilHealth is listed under government services.

  4. Find and select "PhilHealth"

    Scroll through the government billers and tap "PhilHealth" or "PHIC". If you can't find it, use the search bar and type "PhilHealth".

  5. Enter your details

    You will need to provide:

    • PhilHealth Number (PIN) — your 12-digit member number
    • Full Name — as it appears on your MDR
    • Amount — the contribution amount you want to pay
    • Applicable Period — the month/period you are paying for (e.g., January 2026)
    • Email Address — for the official receipt

  6. Select the applicable period

    Choose the correct applicable period from the dropdown. This is the month you are paying for, not the current date. For example, if you are paying for January 2026 contribution, select "January 2026" as the applicable period. If you have arrears, pay the oldest month first.

  7. Review and confirm

    Double-check all details: PhilHealth number, name, amount, and applicable period. Once confirmed, tap "Pay" or "Continue". Maya will ask for your PIN or biometric authentication.

  8. Save your receipt

    After successful payment, Maya will display a confirmation screen with a transaction reference number. Take a screenshot and save it. Maya will also send a receipt to your email. Keep both for your records.

Payment confirmation timeline

After successful Maya payment, you will receive:

• Immediate: Maya in-app confirmation with reference number
• Within minutes: Email receipt from Maya
• 3–5 business days: Payment posts to your PhilHealth record (visible in Member Portal)

Troubleshooting common Maya payment issues

Cannot find PhilHealth in Maya

If PhilHealth doesn't appear in the biller list, try:

• Updating your Maya app to the latest version
• Searching for "PHIC" instead of "PhilHealth"
• Checking under "Government" → "National Government Agencies"
• Contacting Maya support if the biller is temporarily unavailable

Payment failed but money was deducted

This is rare but can happen due to network issues. If money was deducted but no confirmation was shown:

• Wait 15-30 minutes — the transaction may still process
• Check your Maya transaction history for the reference number
• Contact Maya support with the reference number
• Do NOT retry immediately — you might pay twice

Wrong applicable period selected

If you selected the wrong applicable period, contact PhilHealth immediately. You may need to file a correction request. Keep your Maya receipt as proof of payment. PhilHealth can re-apply the payment to the correct month if you act promptly.

Payment not reflected in PhilHealth portal

Payments through Maya typically reflect in the PhilHealth Member Portal within 3-5 business days. If after 5 days your payment is still not showing:

• Check your Maya receipt for the correct reference number
• Verify the PhilHealth number entered was correct
• Contact PhilHealth Action Center at (02) 8441-7442
• Keep your Maya receipt as proof of payment

Maya payment tips

  • Pay during the first week of the month to avoid the last-minute rush and potential system delays.
  • Always select the correct applicable period — paying the wrong month can cause record complications.
  • Save every receipt — Maya email receipts and screenshots serve as proof of payment.
  • Check your contribution reflects in the PhilHealth portal 3-5 business days after payment.
  • If paying arrears, pay the oldest month first to avoid coverage gaps.
  • Maya charges no additional convenience fee for PhilHealth payments (as of August 30, 2026).
