SUMOME

In the Philippines, there are only few


health insurance companies or health maintenance organizations (HMOs) operating
with license from the Insurance Commission (IC). Previously, HMOs are regulated by
the Department of Health (DOH) until the IC took over in regulating them. The
Insurance Commission supervises and regulates the operations of life and non-life
companies, mutual benefit associations, and trusts for charitable uses. It issues licenses
to insurance agents, general agents, resident agents, underwriters, brokers, adjusters
and actuaries. It has also the authority to suspend or revoke such licenses. HMO is a
non-life insurance company.
HMOs sell health cards to the public. It is usually given as a benefit by employers to
their employees in addition to the Philhealth card. However, self employed individuals
can also avail health cards for themselves and their families. You can use the health card
in outpatient check ups and hospital confinements. Your health card will shoulder your
medical bills up to a certain limit. The health card is renewed every year by paying the
required renewal premium.
If you are getting a health card,it is very important that you check if the HMO you are
getting from is authorized by the Insurance Commission to operate. Yearly, the
commission publishes the companies that they authorized to offer health insurance to
the general public. Here is the list of companies they authorized for 2016:
