For HR personnel and business owners, complying with PhilHealth remittances is mandatory. This technical guide explains how to navigate the ePRS, generate SPAs, and report monthly employee contributions online.
💡 Quick Key Takeaways
All registered employers must use the Electronic Premium Remittance System (ePRS) for monthly reporting.
A Statement of Premium Account (SPA) must be generated prior to paying premiums.
The monthly deadline for employee contribution remittances is the 15th of the following month.
Failure to remit deductions is a punishable offense under the Universal Health Care Act.
What is ePRS?
The Electronic Premium Remittance System (ePRS) is a web-based corporate portal designed to make employee premium reporting and payments automated. Employers upload their monthly employee payroll listings, and the portal computes the split shares (5.0% rate in 2026) automatically, reducing manual filing errors.
Step-by-Step SPA Generation
Log in to the PhilHealth Employer Portal (https://eprs.philhealth.gov.ph) using your employer credentials.
Under the 'Member Management' tab, update your employee roster (register new hires, report resignations).
Go to the 'Premium Management' section and click 'Payment Management'.
Select the active billing month and click 'Generate SPA'.
The system will compute total premiums and output a Statement of Premium Account (SPA) containing a unique transaction number.
Use the SPA transaction number to pay online via Link.BizPortal or at accredited banks.

Is it required to submit the marriage certificate if registering my wife as a dependent? My marriage is verified by PSA.

Hi Juan! Yes, a photocopy of your PSA Marriage Certificate is mandatory when updating your MDR to add your spouse. Make sure to attach it to your PMRF update form.
