PhilHealth
PhilHealth focuses on medical and hospital benefits. Routine dental is generally not a standalone benefit, though some procedures may be covered when part of a covered medical package. Check the latest PhilHealth guidance or ask the clinic.
Private HMOs
Many company HMOs include an annual dental benefit, often covering cleaning, consultation, and simple fillings at accredited clinics. Confirm your accredited clinics and limits before booking.
