What is Maxicare E-ready, and why do you need it?
3 min readHealth care in the Philippines costs a lot of money. An average hospital stay could set you back at P3,000 a night for private hospitals and P30,000 for ICU stays. Public hospitals are also an option for some, but even with waived fees, you still need to pay for medicine and other extra charges. Needless to say, emergency situations could greatly affect your finances.
This is why having an affordable health plan that can cover emergency situations, hospitalizations, and in-patient and outpatient care is ideal. At the moment, those who are enrolled via HMO through employment or as beneficiaries can already be at peace knowing that they have a safety net when worse comes to worst.
But what if we need these affordable health plans for those who can’t be covered by HMOs? What options do they have aside from paying a large sum of hospital bills?
This is where prepaid health cards step in.
In this article, we’ll take a look at a particular prepaid health card that is fit for most conditions and discuss why it is a worthy investment.
