Manila, Philippines – Research conducted by GCash with respondents from the middle-class revealed that one of the things that worries them most is getting confronted with a serious disease in their direct family. Just imagine what will go through your mind if a doctor tells you that your child has a serious disease. “How can I help my child get better as soon as possible?” will be the first thing on your mind... and right after, “Where will I get the money to pay for the treatments?” The reality is that many families will have to use up all their savings, or even borrow money just to be able to pay for the medical bills. And while the recovery of the child is what we all hope for, recovering financially may take several years.
What’s the alternative?
While there are some with Philhealth coverage or an HMO plan from employers, the limits for these may be insufficient especially when you are confronted with a critical condition. Those who do not have such benefits can opt for a private HMO plan, however, for many, it would be outside their budget. A private HMO plan for a family of four costs around Php 100,000 yearly.
This is why Singlife created ‘Cash for Medical Costs’ a product that provides you and your family up to Php 1,275,000 each in benefits to pay for high medical costs. It offers cash for every day of hospitalization, a fixed amount when you are diagnosed with one of the 125 covered critical conditions, and additional reimbursements for medical treatments needed for the most severe critical conditions.
“Although we all want to avoid it, people do get hospitalized and get critical illnesses, and we all want the best medical care available. The sad reality is that most of the time, we are forced to use the care that we can afford. From a series of interviews, we’ve learned that people resorted to emptying out their entire life savings, selling property, and even having to borrow money just to afford life-saving medical treatments. We believe everyone deserves a better way to deal with these situations,” says Rien Hermans, CEO of Singlife Philippines.
