    We're covered by HMI as part of our employee benefits, apart from the annual medical check-ups scheduled by the company. Ok naman, ilang beses nang nagagamit ni misis pag nagpapatingin siya sa hospital.

    depende sa healthcard... ung mga HMO na annual lang ang bayad di ata maganda. Kc kung nakita na marami kang ginastos this year, next year itataas ung premium mo para makabawi sila... ung mga close ended na parang insurance dating maganda kc nasa contract na ganito katagal ung policy tapos ito ang babayaran mo lang. medyo mataas ung policy pero good for n years mo magagamit tsaka walang price increase. un at un ang babayaran mo.

    Di mo din kc malalaman kung kelan ka magkakasakit eh. Paano kung this year sobra gamit mo, e di next year taas premium or new policy which will exclude ung sakit mo this year. Tapos the following year wala ka namang naramdaman e di tapon na ung pera mo cost na un.

    ganon talaga pag healthcard.. you just go on paying annually.. pag hindi ka nagkasakit this year.. eh di ayos lang.. that means healthy ka.. the key here is pag nagkasakit ka at na hospital ka.. kung kailangan nang 300T.. do you have that cash to pay for it upfront? dito papasok ang kagandahan nang healthcard.. you're buying peace of mind..

    Buti na lang most companies may health card benefits na.

    Very sickly baby ko nung 1-year-old pa lang sya. Last year for 3 months at least 1 week a month sya admitted for various illnesses. We didn't pay the hospital a single sentimo. Buti na lang my wife had the foresight to get a Medicard extension for our son. Di libre yon I think we had to shell out almost 6k just for that extension but IMHO it's worth it.

    This year na-admit uli sya pero sinubukan namin sa Medical City. Considering na di accredited sa card ko ang 2 doctors nya, 8 days kami dun and ang dami ng medicines/injections nya I only had to shell out 5k. Mas mababa daw if we got accredited doctors pa. Hopefully ma-refund pa sa Medicard ni missis ang extra 5k na binayad namin.

    So the point is get a health card. Peace of mind is priceless.

    I have used HMI, HPPI, Medicard & Medocare.

    The best ang Medicard, then HMI, then HPPI. Medocare sucks big time.

    Maganda ang health care card kasi may libreng annual executive checkup at dental. Dun pa lang sa bills mo sa check-up at dental sulit na ang binayad mo. Basta gamitin mo lang every year ang check-up at dental services.

    I don't think ECU is included in the healthcard. Dental - yes.

    medocare pa naman kami ngayon. holy pwet. yung company kase ang pumipili ng health card for the employees.

    yung HMI, sobrang ok. may sarili pa silang clinic (big big clinic) sa MCS.

    and bad experience ko naman sa medicard eh sobrang tagal mag-release ng papers. nag-stay pa ng additional two days yung mom ko sa hospital kase walang clearance (wala pa kase yung papers from medicard).

    Functional wise sa pansin ko 2 lang ang klase ng healthcard.

    1.) Card na hindi ka pwedeng pumili ng doctor maliban sa doctor na affiliated ng card na hinahawakan ninyo. Anyway, pareparehas lang yan. Ang tip dyan kung pipili kayo nitong card na ito piliin ninyo iyong maraming miyembrong doctor para makapamili kayo. Tests/procedures ay covered basta member ang doctor mo, medicines ang alam ko hindi own pocket mo ito kukunin.

    2.) Card na kahit sinong doctor ang piliin mo pwede - sa experience ko 2 pa lang ang alam kong ganitong card. Asian Life at EA Philippines. May limit nga lang ang PF nila pero pwede kang pumili ng kilala mong doctor. Tests na ipapagawa at medicines ay covered ng card na ito (siguro depende din sa package na kukunin mo)

    Anyway kung ako tatanungin mas gusto ko iyong option 2. Pero kahit ano pa meron kayo, ok pa rin yan kaysa sa wala.

    Pards, tignan ko sa bahay iyong card ko sa contact numbers nila.

    When it comes to rooms you can never go wrong doon sa 2 kong nabanggit. OK naman kasi ang coverage nila pero mas marami nga lang ang EA Philippines kasi mas matanda sila kaysa sa Asian Life. Asian Life kasi bago lang pero patuloy silang nagdadagdag ng hospital. Maganda coverage ng rooms nagpeplay din depende ito sa kukunin mong package. And syempre may price ang premiums nito.

    Comment lang po regarding this:
    pag may naramdaman ka, takbo agad sa emergency, okay na
    Guys, please do understand that the EMERGENCY ROOM is for emergency cases. If your case is not an emergency, please visit your card's doctor during clinic hours.

    May mga abusadong card holders kasi, biglang nagpupunta ng ospital ng dis-oras ng gabi dahil gusto lang magpa-'check up'. The hospital is not fully staffed at night, the doctors in the E.R. went to work at 7am and will usually still be on the job until 5pm the next day. So talagang pagod na sila. Sakin may dumating ng 3am for a 'check-up' dahil gusto lang niya.

    Ang ospital hindi naman gano nalalayo sa restaurant. And alam niyo naman sa restaurant, if you piss off the waiters... (hindi naman namin dinuduraan ang gamot, don't worry).

    And meron ding real emergencies that have to be attended to. Naalala ko nung may nasaksak sa puso, nagkakagulo na lahat sabay may papasok sa pinto. Papacheck up daw siya kasi sinisipon siya, isang linggo na. Bakit kaya hindi pa niya naisipang pumunta sa clinic ng doctor niya within the span of one week? Bakit kailangan sa emergency room pa? Umaamin naman ang ibang patients, AYAW NILA PUMILA.

    Ayun lang po. Just wanted to say that.

    Re: the check up naman, minsan parang Rapide iyan. Ginagawa nila yun to find kung may problems ka which can possibly raise your premiums (depende sa card).

    Yeah may executive checkup kung yung family member na employee of a company has job functions equivalent to a managerial position.

    And meron din namang executive check-up na out-patient. Ang mahalaga e may dagdag na tests like ultrasound, ecg, x-rays, complete blood tests, minsan kasama pa ct scan or mri...
