Maxicare founder wins Entrepreneurship Award at the 38th Agora Awards
Dr. Roberto Macasaet Sr., Maxicare Healthcare Corporation’s Founder and Chairman Emeritus, has been awarded with the Outstanding Achievement in Entrepreneurship (Large Scale) at the recently concluded Philippine Marketing Association’s 38th Agora Awards held at the Maynila Ballroom of the Manila Hotel last November 9, 2017.
Now on its 38th year, the Agora Awards recognize individuals who have demonstrated excellence in the field of marketing in the Philippines. They have been running since 1979, and have been held by the Philippine Marketing Association, who aims to promote the science and ethics of the marketing profession, and uphold corporate social responsibility and corporate citizenship.
Dr. Macasaet has been instrumental in shaping the way the Philippine healthcare industry does business today, through his founding of one of the first Health Maintenance Organizations in the country. He is responsible for introducing healthcare services that have allowed for more flexible options for Filipinos of all income levels and employment. His achievement is truly worthy of recognition, not only showing exemplary business prowess but also a genuine love and concern for the Filipino people’s welfare.
He is also a medical professional by trade, having received his medical degree from the University of the Philippines, and having trained at Fordham University in General Surgery, Urology, and Pathology. He was head of Makati Medical Center’s Department of Urology, currently a member of that hospital’s Advisory Committee. He also serves as chairman of Associated Medical and Clinical Services, and was previously chairman of Fil Hispano Ceramics, Inc.
When Dr. Macasaet founded Maxicare in 1987, the HMO industry was practically nonexistent. Today, it has evolved into the leading HMO in the country, and has the widest network of providers with over 1,000 partner hospitals and clinics, and over 56,000 affiliated physicians nationwide.
Under his guidance and business acumen, Maxicare has introduced such innovative products and services such as: the Maxicare Multifunction Card, the only HMO membership card that also serves as a lifestyle privilege card and EMV-enabled cash card; the EReady and MyMaxicare Lite, the very first prepaid healthcards in the industry; and the 24/7 TeleConsult Service, allowing Maxicare members to contact a doctor anytime, anywhere, without incurring deductions on their benefit limits.
Dr. Macasaet joins prestigious names from different industries such as William Tiu-Lim, CEO of Mega Global Corp, and Dr. Alfredo Bengzon, President and CEO of The Medical City, both of whom previously won the award.

Maxicare offer Teleconsultation
Earlier this year, Maxicare Healthcare Corporation launched its TeleConsult service, a 24/7 hotline exclusively for Maxicare members and their dependents, that allows them to connect with Maxicare-accredited doctors any time they need a consultation.
What do you get out of using TeleConsult? Let’s take a look at some of its most important advantages.
It saves you time.
A chest pain in the night, a stomachache out of nowhere – without the advantage of consultation, these ailments often lead us to take a trip to the nearest emergency room. While it’s definitely a good idea to see a professional whenever something feels off, these trips will eat up your time, especially if you have to take a day off work for them.
With TeleConsult, a quick – call is all you need to get in touch with a doctor, explain your symptoms, and hopefully get an answer to your questions about how you feel. Of course, there will be times that your consultation will lead to a recommendation to head over to the hospital anyway, but at least it won’t be every time you have a mild headache!
It saves you money.
The aforementioned ER trips and consultations aren’t just time sinks – they eat up your benefit limit as well, which could be better used for when you have an actual disease. TeleConsult is a free service that doesn’t consume your benefit limit, leaving it open for more urgent healthcare concerns.
You get peace of mind.
There’s an old joke about self-diagnosing with WebMD: Whatever your symptoms are, you always have cancer! Self-diagnosis is never recommended, especially if you have no medical training – and even doctors with years of experience will still seek a second opinion if the patient is themselves! However, it’s still tempting to look up your symptoms online and end up with a laundry list of potential diseases, fixating on the scariest ones.
If you use TeleConsult, however, you’re assured that your symptoms are looked over by a Maxicare affiliated physician, and that you receive a professional diagnosis in turn.
A complement to traditional healthcare channels
There’s no replacement for a face-to-face trip to the doctor, and that isn’t the goal that TeleConsult wants to achieve. Instead, it’s where you go before heading over to a specialist, or where you go if you need immediate advice for a medical condition. Over time, the TeleConsult service aims to evolve into an important part of the healthcare system, with intelligent connections to wearable health technology, health management platforms, data analytics, and more, all in the name of serving up personalized, efficient, and effective healthcare services to every member.

HMO banks on partnership with Medical City for growth
MAXICARE Healthcare Corp. (Maxicare) is banking on its partnership with Professional Services Inc. (PSI), owner and operator of The Medical City (TMC), for business growth.
Maxicare, which falls under the health maintenance organization (HMO) industry, sees that there is a need to offer more affordable healthcare products and services that more Filipinos can avail themselves of.
“This service; I really expect this to be a big driver of our business,” Maxicare President and CEO Christian S. Argos said. “We are working with partners like TMC to bring the cost of health care down and this is the first of those products.”
Argos spoke to reporters on the launch of its cobranded product with The Medical City called “TMC Partner Care.” He said they expect the product would help the company increase its member base in the coming years.
“So right now, we are at 1.2 million members and we want to be 10 million members in three years,” Argos explained. “And the only way for us to do that is to have products like this [at] lower price points.”
He said during the launch on Wednesday the cobranded product is a “full-risk health-care plan that is clinic-based.” Argos added the product covers patients required to be confined in the hospital and outpatients, as well, with an annual benefit limit of P100,000. Individuals with ages ranging from 21 to 45 may subscribe to the plan for less than P12,000 per year.
“How many [Filipinos] have HMO coverage? Maybe 6 [million ] to 7 million [only],” he added. “I see a big upside as long as you make the product affordable.”
The product also offers a 24/7 hot line with a medical professional allied with the TMC.
“And with this partnership with Maxicare, we have further widened the scope and opportunity for more Filipinos to avail [themselves] of world-class medical services,” According to PSI COO Jose Xavier B. Gonzales, the product is available in all TMC hospitals and clinics and Maxicare primary care centers nationwide. Currently, the TMC has five hospitals with 41 clinics, while Maxicare is affiliated with 56,000 doctors and more than 1,000 hospitals and clinics.
“I foresee the bigger market for this is [composed of] the ones without HMO coverage so we wanted to make this product very affordable, accessible,” Argos said. “I think that is really where the volume will be, the self-employed, dependents, so it’s very useful.”

Maxicare launched its first ever wing outside Metro Manila
DAVAO CITY, Philippines – Leading healthcare provider, Maxicare Healthcare Corp. opened its first direct hospital care facility for clients in a private-ran hospital here.
Called the Maxicare Exclusive Wing, the facility is an exclusive section, or wing, of the Metro Davao Medical and Research Center (MDMRC), a private tertiary hospital here along Bajada.
Christian Argos, Maxicare president, said in it chose to place its direct medical care unit inside the MDMRC after the hospital passed its preference for a “clinics, hospitals, and doctors [who] have high performance and best patient care “.
“The MDMRC was the chosen partner because it is one of the hospitals with the best outcome according to their past performances here in the city,” Argos said.
The Maxicare Wing in Davao is the second biggest market after Luzon.
There are 14 bed s available in the Maxicare wing located at the hospital’s seventh floor.
Argos said that they want to upgrade the patient’s experience through MDMRC “by bringing fast admission and discharge process and access to the facilities and healthcare professionals “.
During the inaugural ceremony on April 20, Dr. Jetty Jet Lu, MDMRC chief of clinics, said it took more than 12 months to approve the partnership between MDMRC and Maxicare.
“As we reached our 5th year in the healthcare industry, this is also part of our milestone that the Maxicare sees our potential in serving the people of Davao City as well as its nearby provinces,” Lu said.
The MDMRC’s newest vision is to be the most preferred hospital in Mindanao among patients, clients, and doctors. (davaotoday.com)

Maxicare inaugurates wing at MDMRC
IN A bid to provide better healthcare experience for its members, leading healthcare provider, Maxicare, inaugurated Friday, April 20, its Maxicare Wing at the Metro Davao Medical and Research Center (MDMRC).
Maxicare president and chief executive officer Christian Argos, in a media roundtable Friday at the Seda Abreeza Hotel, said this is the first Maxicare Wing that they established outside of Metro Manila.
He said at the Maxicare Wing, patients will get upgraded rooms with Wifi connection, electronic bed, and a 42-inch television.
"But more importantly, it is the total patient experience. The admission and discharge process is faster. We have integrated with the hospital, you will get better outcome and better patient care," Argos said.
He said the wing will also have a Maxicare in-patient office where they have a personnel on site to make sure that all of their members are being catered to.
"It is really about the patient experience. Once you get confined and once you leave we are able to address your health concerns in the most effective and efficient manner," Argos said.
He said in choosing a site for their Maxicare Wing, they evaluate their medical partners based on "outcomes and cost."
"Looking at Davao, MDMRC is a hospital that delivers great outcomes and costs," Argos said.
Aside from the Maxicare Wing, the healthcare provider is also looking into establishing a Primary Care Center (PCC) in Davao City. They are currently looking for a location for the center.
"The PCC is an outpatient facility, which will offer consultations, diagnostic tests, lab tests, ultrasound, and x-ray. Basically, outpatient services short of surgeries," said Argos. (RJL)
