Never Worry About Medical Emergencies Again with the Right Maxicare Prepaid Health Card

A prepaid health card is a healthcare product similar to the usual comprehensive Health Maintenance Organizations or HMO you’re probably familiar with–except that it comes with a smaller coverage within a specific period of time and at a lower cost. In some instances, this can be a combination of coverages in addition to several benefits such as life insurance and dental services.

To those who don’t have HMO, this would be a perfect alternative, especially with affordable one-time payments. 

If you’re looking for a prepaid health card that will cover you during unexpected medical emergencies, we’ve got you! In this article, we list down the three types of Maxicare prepaid cards that Peramoko offers, and we group them according to their corresponding costs.
