History
In 1987, a group of eminent physicians from the most distinguished medical centers in the country, concerned at the ability of working people to pay for much needed quality health care, consolidated their resources together to put up MEDICard Philippines, Inc. MEDICard is a pioneer in the industry. The owners have been in the health care service for years. The country had suffered badly during the waning years of Marcos rule. Health costs were rising, but incomes were falling. Even middle income families were finding difficulty in putting money for emergencies. Thus, if sickness occurred the necessary funds were just not available to receive treatment and pay for medicines. MEDICard was born out of a desperate need. One of the founders, who was to become the first president, Dr. Nicanor D. Montoya M.D., held a very simple philosophy. It was that if a person could just put away P3.00 per day, (not a large sum, even then), he could afford hospitalization. From this premise, MEDICard was created. An organization was formed, MEDICard (Philippines) Inc., that would provide quality comprehensive health care services to a large number of Filipinos, at a cost that they could afford. Just one year later, operating from the 9th floor, Sagittarius Building, H.V. dela Costa Street, Salcedo Village, Makati City, the company commenced marketing the scheme. Recruitment of members was slow at first until it was realized that more could be reached more quickly by enlisting companies who were large employers. The advantages of this scheme to all participants were so obvious that the marketing strategy was immediately successful. The scheme was then expanded to appeal to company executives and middle managers as well as the rank and file. By 1990, the success of the scheme enforced the opening of further offices in Cagayan de Oro, Cebu and Davao City. These offices were tasked with the coordination of accredited providers and giving assistance to members. The expansion of the Company meant continual updating of systems and procedures. The founders and operating officers being mainly from the medical profession have given MEDICard a uniqueness that is difficult to be matched by other organizations that offer medical insurance. Being of the profession, more attention is given to the service than the finances. Investment is constantly being made to make quality health care services available to its

ever-growing membership throughout the country. It is the dedication to good health and services as envisioned by the founding doctors that has made MEDICard a company whose members can always rely on. Since its inception, the concept of service-oriented total health care has been the molding ideal of MEDICard. The competition is vast, and the benefits being offered by the competitors are tempting. However, MEDICard has taken the lead in providing innovative and productive ideas that cut down the cost of health maintenance without compromising its quality. And our predominantly corporate- based clientele totaling about 300,000 members from more than 1700 companies can attest to the quality of service afforded to them by our network of more than 240 hospitals and approximately 3000 doctors and dentists nationwide. MEDICard is a Health Maintenance Organization that provides a comprehensive health care program for its members. This includes emergency care, hospital confinement, preventive health care, dental care and out-patient consultation services. MEDICard is not an insurance company because unlike an insurance company where you pay your bills for reimbursement later, MEDICard guarantees all your medical expenses, including that all-important hospital deposit. Then you need not worry about money. All you need is your MEDICard ID. MEDICard will take care of everything else for you. Today, with a total of more than 448,000 members, MEDICard Philippines, Inc. is associated with over 8,000 accredited doctor, specialists and dentists, operating out of over 300 hospitals and clinics nationwide. Operating 24 hours each and every day, MEDICard Philippines, Inc. provides a quality healthcare service to all its members.
