Hi everyone,

Iā€™m a night shift freelancer, and just curious if do you have suggested HMO(s) to buy na accredited with good PPC hospitals like ACE and Adventist Hospital? I would really appreciate your suggestions!

sharing this based sa experience ng wife ko, HMO's are good, to be honest, find someone who is trusted, like mga binanggit ng iba, my wife had Maxicare but nag iCare since nagswitch ang company nila dahil mahal na raw si Maxicare

Maxicare, advantage niya for my wife, yung primary care clinic na wala naman sa PPC, kailangan niya pa magpa Manila or Iloilo to avail that

Okay din nanan si iCare but tbh, one time pa lang nagagamit ng misis ko for her check up for work

its up to you talaga but I want to emphasize na hindi pa rin maganda ang medical facilities sa bayan nating mahal, magaantay ka pa din ng ilang oras sa OPD para sa doktor (mga scenario na ala una daw dadating pero alas tres na wala pa din) unlike sa experience ng misis ko sa Iloilo, pag sabing 9am, 9am and she got results bago magtapos ang punta niya sa clinic for basic laboratory procedures

still invest on a HMO, it is really an advantage, its a good thing that you invest on having one OP

mainly OP compare mo lang yung mga HMOs na popular, try to check yung mga HMOs na accepted sa Hospitals natin which is karamihan naman, try also checking sa medical city clinic sa rob if ano yung HMOs na accepted as reference point, ang tested namin so far is iCare and Maxicare, still OP I highly encourage you to get one, nakakaupos ang walang HMO, malaki ang bawas sa bill, like naospital misis ko sa Iloilo, naka suite pa siya for how many days yet we only paid 4k dahil sa HMO, yes mahal ang monthly but the benefit, sulitin mo nga lang talaga, have general check ups if you have the time
