MediCard Philippines (MediCard), a leading health company and the health arm of AIA Philippines, formerly Philam Life and the domestic arm of multinational life insurer AIA Group, jumpstarts the year with MediCard H.E.R.O. (Health Emergency Response On-Demand) a specially developed healthcare plan designed to deliver expanded emergency care and hospitalization when urgent situations require confinement. As everyone is a hero to someone, whether to a colleague, a family member, or a friend, this plan is crafted with the growing gig economy and underserved market in mind, ensuring affordable access to emergency coverage for more Filipinos.
“With the booming gig economy, MediCard wants to ensure that every Filipino has access to affordable, comprehensive emergency coverage anytime — especially for those who need it most. MediCard H.E.R.O. is designed to give peace of mind during urgent and unforeseen situations,” said Julian Mengual, MediCard CEO.
MediCard H.E.R.O. offers an essential safety net for individuals who often face medical emergencies without financial support, such as delivery riders, Transportation Network Vehicle Service (TNVS) drivers, freelancers, informal workers, even solo parents, and others who want to secure healthcare protection for themselves and their families.
For a one-time payment of PHP 6,000 (equivalent to PHP 17 a day), MediCard H.E.R.O. provides annual coverage for 32 select emergency and non-trauma cases including but not limited to cases such as accidental chemical poisoning, animal bites, and drowning, with coverage provided at over 600+ MediCard-accredited hospitals, including **first-class facilities, subject to applicable inner limits, and up to an Annual Benefit Limit (ABL) of PHP 60,000. This ensures that everyday heroes can access quality emergency care without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re showing up for your family, your community, or the people you work with every day. MediCard H.E.R.O. is here to make sure that the heroes around us, including you, never face emergencies alone. Because emergencies can happen anytime, securing yourself means peace of mind for you and your family. Everyday heroes deserve their own H.E.R.O. Plan.
