Maxicare eyes 1M healthcare client base by 2013
posted on July 3, 2012
Only three million of the estimated 101 million Filipinos are covered by healthcare management organizations or HMO, the president of a leading HMO told reporters in a press conference Tuesday. As such, Maxicare Healthcare Corp. intends to widen its client base to 1 million by 2013 from 900,000 this year, said Maxicare president Jose Pastor Puno, who noted, “Still a lot of people are not covered.” The low number of Filipinos covered by HMOs is mainly because of the perception that healthcare management is a cost, Puno cited.
