With the rising cost of basic goods, services, and transportation, many Filipino households are rethinking everyday expenses, including healthcare. For many, it’s not just about finding the time for a checkup, but also the cost of getting there, making it easy to keep putting it off.

Maxicare Group addresses this by reinforcing the strength of its integrated ecosystem. A key advantage for every Maxicare corporate member is that these Maxicare Clinics are a built-in part of their coverage, serving as a primary gateway to seamless care. By positioning these clinics across Metro Manila, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, Maxicare ensures that for its members, professional medical care is always within reach. Members can easily access labs, tests, and specialist consults in one place, with no need for a letter of authorization (LOA).

Even better, these visits don’t take from a member’s Maximum Benefit Limit (MBL), so people can get the care they need without the extra worry. Plus, Maxicare also offers easy-to-access options like the Member Gateway, 24/7 video teleconsult, and even HomeLabs for added convenience.

“Healthcare access in the Philippines has long been framed as a question of affordability but the reality on the ground is more nuanced than that,” said Raymond Hernandez, Group Chief Customer Officer of Maxicare Healthcare Corporation. “Even when care is covered, people delay consultations because the clinic is too far or the commute is too long. Many Filipinos continue to associate healthcare with heavy medical costs, causing them to put off seeking care until it becomes urgent. As we continue expanding our network, no Filipino should have to choose between the cost of getting there and the value of getting care.”

Care That Comes to Every Community

The Maxicare Clinics are positioned within residential communities, commercial areas, and business districts. These clinics form the backbone of the Maxicare Group’s integrated health network, the only one in the country that seamlessly connects health plans, clinic management, and insurance. This ecosystem also includes a network of over 1,100 Maxicare-affiliated hospitals and clinics, 749 dental clinics, and 22,000 affiliated physicians.

Considering a typical clinic visit starts with a referral and a waiting room measured in hours rather than minutes, the Maxicare Clinics allow members to walk in and receive prompt service. Members can consult physicians across specializations including Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, OB-Gynecology, ENT, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Cardiology, and Rehabilitation Medicine.

“The measure of a healthcare network is about how many people actually walk through that consultation door,” says Josephine Lopez, President and CEO of Maxicare Health Services Inc. “Every Maxicare Clinic we open brings that door closer to anyone who needs it. As the Maxicare Clinic network grows, so does our commitment to making that step easier because earlier consultations save lives.”

Beyond the corporate sector, Maxicare also makes this ecosystem accessible to the consumer market. Individuals can walk into any Maxicare Clinic and access these same high-quality services by purchasing PRIMA cards, ensuring that comprehensive healthcare remains available to every Filipino.
