PhilHealth Konsulta: What It Is Now, in 2026
Philippine Health Insurance Corporation · benefits
Quick answer
PhilHealth's member-facing primary care programme in 2026 is YAKAP, and its 2026 primary care circular does not mention Konsulta. Konsulta still appears on PhilHealth's Downloads page as provider-accreditation material. No PhilHealth page read for this guide says Konsulta is discontinued.

Where these figures come from
About these figures: the numbers below come from PhilHealth's official published sources: PhilHealth | Downloads, Konsulta accreditation annexes (https://www.philhealth.gov.ph/downloads/, retrieved 2026-09-01); PhilHealth | Circular No. 2026-0007, Clinical and Pharmaceutical Standards for PhilHealth YAKAP (https://www.philhealth.gov.ph/circulars/2026/PC2026-0007.pdf, retrieved 2026-09-01); PhilHealth | YAKAP, Yaman ng Kalusugan Program (https://www.philhealth.gov.ph/yakap/, retrieved 2026-09-01). Agencies change fees and rates without notice, so confirm with PhilHealth before you rely on them. Last verified: 2026-09-01.
If you are searching for Konsulta, the useful answer is not a description of the package. It is where the programme now sits.
PhilHealth’s member-facing primary care programme in 2026 is YAKAP. Konsulta survives on PhilHealth’s site as provider-accreditation material. No PhilHealth page read for this guide says Konsulta has been discontinued, and this guide does not claim it has.

Frequently asked questions
- Does PhilHealth Konsulta still exist?
- PhilHealth still publishes Konsulta accreditation material for providers on its Downloads page. What it no longer publishes, on the pages read for this guide, is a member-facing Konsulta section: philhealth.gov.ph/konsulta returns a 404, the Member Portal offers a YAKAP Clinic rather than a Konsulta clinic, and the 2026 primary care circular does not mention Konsulta. No page states it has been discontinued, and this guide does not claim it has.
- What replaced it for members?
- PhilHealth's member-facing primary care programme is YAKAP, the Yaman ng Kalusugan Program. Circular No. 2026-0007 states that PhilHealth expands its primary care through YAKAP, which integrates primary care services, the PhilHealth GAMOT outpatient medicines benefit and select cancer screening tests.
- What Konsulta material is still published?
- Provider accreditation documents on the Downloads page: Annex A Standards for Accreditation of PhilHealth Konsulta Facilities, Annex B.1 Health Human Resource Survey Tool, Annex B.2 Checklist of PhilHealth Konsulta Drugs and Its Preparations, Annex B.3 Checklist of PhilHealth Konsulta Laboratories and Diagnostic Services, Annex C Procedures and Documentary Requirements for Accreditation, Annex D.1 and D.2 Certifications of Service Delivery Support, and Annex E a Non-disclosure Agreement. A Konsulta Overview video is also linked.
- So what should I sign up for?
- YAKAP. Selecting your YAKAP Clinic is one of the four published member functions of the PhilHealth Member Portal at memberinquiry.philhealth.gov.ph/member.
- Does it cost anything extra?
- PhilHealth publishes no separate fee or premium for either Konsulta or YAKAP on the pages read for this guide. What you pay is the ordinary contribution of 5.0% of monthly income, ₱500.00 to ₱5,000.00 a month.
- I am a clinic. Can I still accredit as a Konsulta provider?
- PhilHealth still publishes the full Konsulta accreditation annex set on its Downloads page. It also publishes a route to become a YAKAP Clinic Provider or a PhilHealth GAMOT Provider from the YAKAP section. This guide does not advise which to pursue, because PhilHealth does not publish a comparison.
- Can OFWs use it?
- PhilHealth states that when OFWs are in the Philippines they may avail of other PhilHealth benefits and services including YAKAP and the Z benefits from contracted providers. Konsulta is not named in that advisory.
- Where can I check the current position?
- PhilHealth's YAKAP section at philhealth.gov.ph/yakap, its circulars index for 2026, and its Downloads page. All three were read on 1 September 2026 for this guide.
