Protect Yourself from Rising Medical Costs without Spending Out-of-Pocket
As healthcare costs continue to rise, many Filipinos face a difficult choice between prioritizing their health and protecting their savings. According to a recent study by Manulife, Filipinos have expressed that 41% of their total medical expenses are paid out-of-pocket. Given these high costs, it is not surprising that saving for future healthcare needs has become a top financial priority for many.
Rising Healthcare Costs: A Growing Concern
Filipinos tend to avoid visiting hospitals or going for regular checkups unless their condition is unbearable. This could be due to the cost of medical care, the inability to take time off work, or family obligations. In addition, doctor consultations, hospital fees, treatments, and medications can be expensive, leading many to delay or avoid care until it's absolutely necessary.
Thus, investing in reliable health insurance in the Philippines is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your health and financial well-being. With comprehensive coverage, you won’t have to dip into your savings when faced with unexpected medical emergencies. Not only does it give you peace of mind, but it also allows you to prioritize your health without the fear of financial strain.
