How to Get Free Medicines from YAKAP Clinics

Step 1: Register with a YAKAP Clinic

You need a PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) to register. Sign up through any of these channels:

You should also register your dependents — they can use the same YAKAP clinic or a different one closer to them.

Step 2: Visit Your YAKAP Clinic for a Consultation

Go to your registered YAKAP clinic for your first patient encounter (unang konsultasyon). The doctor will assess your health condition and determine what you need.

Step 3: Get Your Prescription via the GAMOT App

If the doctor determines you need medicine, they will issue a digital prescription through the GAMOT App. Only the doctor at your registered YAKAP clinic can prescribe medicines under the program.

Step 4: Claim Your Medicines

You can get your medicines from:

  • Your YAKAP clinic — some clinics dispense medicines directly
  • Accredited GAMOT pharmacies — look for pharmacies with the YAKAP/GAMOT signage outside

At the pharmacy, show your digital prescription or UPSC code along with any government-issued ID. The pharmacist will validate and dispense your medicines. You’ll receive a GAMOT Availment Slip to sign, which also shows your remaining balance.

Sending a Representative

If you can’t go yourself, a representative can pick up your medicines. They need to bring:

  1. Authorization letter from the patient
  2. Valid ID of the patient/member
  3. Valid ID of the representative

The ₱20,000 Annual Medicine Limit

Each YAKAP beneficiary gets up to ₱20,000 worth of free medicines per year. Key details:

  • The ₱20,000 limit is per person — the member and each dependent has their own separate ₱20,000 limit
  • The pharmacist will inform you when you’re approaching or have reached your limit
  • Your remaining balance is printed on the GAMOT Availment Slip every time you claim medicines
  • Once the ₱20,000 is used up, you’ll need to pay out of pocket for additional medicines

Maintenance Drugs Dispensing Rules

For patients on maintenance medication (e.g., daily hypertension or diabetes drugs):

  • Your YAKAP clinic doctor can prescribe maintenance drugs for up to 3 months
  • However, the pharmacy will only dispense 1 month’s supply per visit
  • The prescription remains valid — just return to the pharmacy when you’re running low
  • Follow-up check-ups at your YAKAP clinic are important to monitor your condition while on maintenance medication

Can You Switch Pharmacies?

Yes. You can claim medicines at any accredited GAMOT pharmacy, and you can switch between pharmacies as long as your ₱20,000 limit hasn’t been exhausted. If a pharmacy doesn’t have all your prescribed medicines, you can get what’s available there and claim the rest at a different accredited pharmacy.

YAKAP Cancer Screening Tests

Your YAKAP clinic doctor can also refer you for 6 free cancer screening tests at accredited cancer-screening facilities:

  1. Mammogram — breast cancer screening
  2. Breast ultrasound — breast cancer screening
  3. Low-dose chest CT scan — lung cancer screening
  4. Alpha fetoprotein — liver cancer screening (blood test)
  5. Liver ultrasound — liver cancer screening
  6. Colonoscopy — colon cancer screening

Important Rules for Cancer Screening

  • You need a referral from your YAKAP clinic doctor — you cannot go directly to a screening facility
  • The screening facility cannot charge you anything — PhilHealth’s package covers all costs including supplies, equipment, professional fees, and indirect costs
  • First-time exception: If a private doctor already referred you for cancer screening, you can use that referral. But after receiving results, you must be referred to your YAKAP clinic for follow-up
  • Any beneficiary with a medical indication can get cancer screening, as recommended by their YAKAP clinic doctor

YAKAP Laboratory Tests

YAKAP clinics also provide 13 free outpatient laboratory tests. If your clinic doesn’t have the lab equipment, they will refer you to a partner diagnostic or laboratory facility — this is part of the YAKAP service at no additional cost.

Where to Find Accredited YAKAP Clinics

You must visit a PhilHealth-accredited YAKAP clinic to access these benefits. Here’s how to find one:

Cost of YAKAP Services

  • At public/government YAKAP clinics — all services are free
  • At private YAKAP clinics — the clinic may charge up to ₱900 per patient per year

Patient’s Journey for Continuous Care

PhilHealth outlines the typical YAKAP patient journey as follows:

  1. Register at a YAKAP clinic (via eGovPH app, PhilHealth portal, or in person)
  2. First consultation — doctor assesses your health condition
  3. Laboratory tests — if needed, done at the clinic or a partner lab
  4. Prescription — doctor prescribes medicines via the GAMOT App
  5. Claim medicines — pick up at the clinic or accredited GAMOT pharmacy
  6. Cancer screening — if indicated, doctor refers you to an accredited facility
  7. Follow-up visits — return for monitoring, updated prescriptions, and continued care

What is the difference between YAKAP and Konsulta? YAKAP is the expanded and improved version of the old Konsulta program. It increased medicine coverage from 21 to 75 drugs, added 6 cancer screening tests, introduced the GAMOT App for digital prescriptions, and raised the credit line to ₱20,000.

Who is eligible for PhilHealth YAKAP? All Filipinos — including government and private employees, self-employed individuals, OFWs, kasambahay (domestic workers), senior citizens, solo parents, persons with disabilities, 4Ps beneficiaries, indigent members, lifetime members, and children under 21. You just need to register at a YAKAP clinic.

Can I get free medicines without visiting a YAKAP clinic? No. You must visit your registered YAKAP clinic for a consultation first. Only a doctor at your YAKAP clinic can prescribe medicines through the GAMOT App. You cannot go directly to a pharmacy.
