Healthcare Insurance in Phils.

[IainBusby]

I think Philhealth is very confusing with the variations in what percentage of the cost they will actually cover. I'm waiting for a reply from them and I will see if I can get a more of an understanding of what they do and don't cover and why in different cases they seem to pay out different percentages of the total bill.

Have you checked on Medicard, Iain? My friend and her family is using Medicard and it seems to be very helpful even on check-ups. I think it's just important that you check if they have any accredited hospitals or dental clinics at your family's area to ensure accessibility when you need them.

I did say that it wasn't for myself that I was enquiring. I was looking at taking out and paying for, healthcare insurance on behalf of my wife's family and for their benefit only.

Hi Iain, you can try looking into Philamcare....they were really good back then, not sure now though if they're still as good as they used to be....
I used to work at Philam Insurance before (few years ago, lol) which is under AIG.....
AIG in the philippines consist of the following - Philam life Insurance, Philam Insurance (non-life), Philam plans, Philam care and Philam Bank.

Thanks for the info Sophie. The more companies I can look into the better.
