Should I pay my PhilHealth last year’s missed payments?

i went to philhealth the other day para sana i-transfer yung status ko from employed to voluntary since remote na yung work ko ngayon.

turns out, nung wala na pala ako sa previous company ko, naging voluntary pala bigla yung status ko sa kanila.

that happened april 2025, so since april 2025, wala na akong contributions sa philhealth. nag ask ako sa cashier doon if pwede ba na sa online nalang yung ibang payment.

tinanong ko yung cashier if need ko ba bayaran from april 2025 hanggang feb 2026, tinanong niya if nagamit ko ba daw, if na hospital badaw ako. sabi ko wala. sabi niya yung 500 na babayaran ko, instead na for april 2025, gawin daw niyang for jan 2026.

question:

1. automatic po ba akong naging volunteer nung nawala na ako sa company? or yung company mismo nag change nung philhealth ko to volunteer?

2. do i still need to pay for the april 2025 - dec 2025 contribution ko kahit di ko naman siya nagamit? planning to pay nalang starting this jan 2026 and yung following payments ko will be for the months of this year na.
