Philcare, one of the first health maintenance organization (HMO) provider in the Philippines today, is poised to continuously bring "new concepts" in the country's HMO industry as it celebrate 33 years of striving to make health care services available to every Filipinos.
In 2014, PhilCare introduced its wellness proposition which highlights health is just more than providing people access to medical services when they get sick.
As Philcare reinvents itself at a very rapid pace, it is really to break the notion of long procedures and time-consuming completion of requirements when applying and purchasing health care services.
PhilCare introduces the idea of "convenience" and accessible health care through the launch of its eCommerce website which lets Filipinos purchase prepaid health cards in three simple steps:
(1) online purchase of cards,
(2) cards get delivered nationwide, and
(3) hassle-free SMS activation of cards.
"We are committed to provide effective and quality health care services to every Filipino. We are in the forefront of taking healthcare to a higher notch with continuous innovations with our products and services going beyond the usual assistance of a healthcare provider in addressing the ever growing needs of the Filipinos," PhilCare president and CEO Noemi Azura said.
" We mark our 33rd anniversary as innovation and healthcare meets as we formally introduce the online shopping facility of our website. Our ultimate goal of this website is to make it easier for Filipinos to get a health card," Azura said.
That's why PhilCare has embrace eCommerce as an important means to conduct business via the internet while essentially streaming the process of getting a health card for its customers.
"The whole process takes only three steps where you don't need to fill up a long application form. Also, no medical examination required, no need to go the main office to purchase the product, and no need for you to wait for business hours to purchase," Azura said.
PhilCare has partnered with the Bank of the Philippine Islands, Aurumpay and Dragonpay to bring numerous options of payment which includes credit card, debit card, onling ebanking and over-the-counter at branch and non-branch locations,
For the nationwide delivery, PhilCare uses major logistics partners that include LBC and DHL to have the cards delivered right at consumer's doorsteps.
Moreover, Philcare has adapted the hassle-free prepaid card approach on registering via SMS activation.
"We at PhilCare know that time plays a vital role to both the business and especially to the consumers. For the consumers, they will save up more time during their transaction. this is ideal for parents who generally decide for their family members, to small and medium enterprises, and also to freelancers who are always on the go, " PhilCare Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Patty Henson said.
"PhilCare's online shopping website paves the way for potential customers to get in touch with the company's business anytime and anywhere. The website is much more convenient as customers can browse through a whole directory of prepaid health care cards without any hassle and activating it through SMS," Henson said.
PhilCare's mission of being responsive to market while ensuring cost and service efficiency has brought health care closer to Filipinos, and reaching a wider customer network through the eCommerce website.
"Very few Filipinos take the time to care for themselves with their busy lifestyles and schedules everyday. However, taking care of oneself is the best way to ensure in living a long healthy life, not only physically, but also mentally," Henson said.
"Online shopping steps in and replaced the traditional purchasing method where a single transaction can cost both parties a lot of valuable time.
