Healthway Medical, the most trusted and preferred network of mall-based clinics in the Philippines, was recently selected to partner with Paramount Life and General Insurance Company (PLGIC) to provide additional benefits for the existing and prospective members of Paramount’s ER card.
“We know that Healthway is a reliable partner and that they are the experts and most trusted and preferred mall-based clinics,” Mr. George T. Tiu, President and COO of PLGIC said in an interview.
ER Card is the company’s pre-paid, one-time-use card that covers emergency medical expenses and is accepted in more than 300 MedAsia accredited hospitals throughout the country.
Depending on the chosen plan amount, the card offers clients two other benefits: Accidental Death benefit and/ or Disablement and Burial Assistance.
“Our ER Card is already offering various services that are very beneficial for our clientsbut that won’t stop us from improving. We want to be better. We want to improve our services to provide more convenience to our clients,” Mr. Tiu added.
Because of the company’s partnership with Healthway Medical, Paramount’s ER Card now offers unlimited consultation with a Primary Care Physician (family medicine and internal medicine, including general dentist).
“The goal of this project is not just business partnership. More than increasing our clients, we really want to improve the overall medical access and experience of our customers by giving them more options and benefits—something that will make their medical experience more convenient,” Ms. Carmie de Leon, VP for Sales and Marketing of Healthway Medical said in an article.
The venture will also allow clients to have a 10% discount on laboratory, diagnostic tests and dental services and a fixed fee of P 500.00 for special consultations.
Asked on the why they have chosen Healthway Medical, Mr. Tiu said, “It’s simple. We know how excellent Healthway can be in terms of providing the best health services to their clients. They are among the country’s most trusted clinics and we believe in them.”
