- Usually, covered ang checkups, lab tests, at confinement basta sa accredited hospitals ka pupunta.
- Limitado ang coverageโmay maximum limit per year (halimbawa, โฑ100k coverage lang).
- Mostly binibigay ng employers (pero pwede rin kumuha nang personal).
- Hindi mo ito pwede ma-encash, diretso sa hospital ang bayad.
Example: May HMO ka na โฑ100k coverage, tapos naospital ka at ang bill mo ay โฑ150kโibig sabihin, sagot lang ng HMO ang โฑ100k, tapos ikaw na bahala sa kulang.

๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ต ๐๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ = Para sa Mas Malaking Gastusin at Long-Term Protection.
- Mas malawak ang coverageโusually pang critical illness benefits (e.g., cancer, heart attack).
- Pwede mo itong ma-encash (halimbawa, may โฑ1M critical illness benefit ka, makukuha mo ito in full upon diagnosis).
- Kahit saan ka maospital, covered ka, hindi tulad ng HMO na may partner hospitals lang.
- Ikaw mismo ang kukuha nito, hindi ito automatic gaya ng HMO na binibigay ng employer.
Example: May health insurance ka na may โฑ1M coverage for critical illness. Kapag nagka-cancer ka (knock on wood!), bibigyan ka ng โฑ1M cashโkahit saan mo gusto gastusin, ikaw ang bahala!

โ
Kung may HMO ka na from work, good! Pero tandaan, may limit ito at mawawala kapag nag-resign ka.
โ
Health insurance naman, personal mong pag-aari kahit magpalit ka ng trabaho, hindi ka mawawalan ng protection.
โ
Mas okay kung meron ka both!

HMO = Sagot ang checkups at hospital bills (pero may limit).
Health Insurance = Sagot ang major illnesses at mas malalaking gastusin (kahit saan or paano mo gusto gamitin).
Hope this helps! Feel free to send me a DM kung may additional questions ๐
