Being fit physically and mentally are essential for one’s overall wellbeing. However, it is inevitable to feel under the weather. Getting sick generally causes emotional and financial concerns. There are times when one puts off going to the doctor or a hospital because of monetary obligations. This could jeopardize one’s health even more.
Health care can be easy on the budget and inexpensive with the right health management organization. It should take care of the financial fallout and allow the member-beneficiary to focus on getting the necessary treatment. “Sickness or accidents could strike at any time and if you are not prepared, getting medical treatment can drain your finances,” said Dr. Nicky Montoya, MediCard president.
HMO provider MediCard Philippines’ “Why Worry” campaign promotes the worry-free benefits of being a member. It includes packages devised to cushion financial impact such as hospitalization care services, outpatient care services, preventive healthcare services, emergency care services, member’s financial assistance, and dental care services for cardholders.
It has half a million members and over 40,000 accredited doctors, specialists, and dentists operating in nearly 1,000 hospitals and clinics nationwide. Members can get common medical services starting at P7,782 annually. Dependents can also be enroled with scaled-up rates. Corporate accounts are also offered in customized packages.
“The best time to become an HMO member is when you still don’t need one. That way you can always have the peace of mind knowing you can be cared for by top medical institutions,” said Montoya. –Krissy Supena Cabrera, Manila Standard Today
