Samson; AXA Philippines Medical Director, Maria Theresa R. Fernandez; and The Medical City Managed Care Department Vice President & Enterprise Head, Lawrence Y. Sibayan.
The partnership enables members of AXA’s Global Health Access (GHA) VIPs to avail of TMC’s services such as emergency care, outpatient services, annual physical exams, executive checkups, laboratory tests, in-patient services, TMC Hostel, and other healthcare services that members may need.
AXA, one of the largest and fastest-growing insurance companies in the Philippines, serves over 1 million individuals through its group and individual life and general insurance products. With the primary purpose of ‘protecting what matters,’ the insurance company offers a wide range of products and services for clients that encompass savings, retirement, personal protection, and health protection products.
The primary goal of AXA’s GHA insurance plan is to ensure that members experience best-in-class medical services with customized benefits that fit the members’ health needs.
“... the intent of the program today is really bringing the AXA Philippines and The Medical City together and making sure that we will have the best medical facility for our customers in AXA. Our customer’s health is number one in our priority, and having a partnership with a great medical facility like The Medical City is at the top-most of our list,” said Kathleen C. Villegas-Driz, AXA Philippines Chief Operations Officer, during the MOA signing.
TMC is currently the largest healthcare network in the country, with one main facility in Ortigas, Pasig City, four provincial hospitals, and over 50 clinics in Metro Manila and select provinces, all operating under a single brand.
Atty. Martin P. Samson, TMC Chief Operations Officer, mentioned in his speech that TMC Ortigas has a program specially developed for AXA in which VIP members “will definitely feel the distinct patient experience at The Medical City.”
Through the partnership, GHA VIP members can access quality healthcare that encompasses preventive and curative care and services at TMC Ortigas, as said by TMC Vice President and Enterprise Head of Managed Care Department Lawrence Y. Sibayan during the interview.
“We are committed to meeting all your needs while ensuring top-notch care from our medical consultants with different specialties and subspecialties.”
Sibayan also emphasized how the partnership is unique among other AXA Philippines healthcare partners. “If there is anything that would really separate TMC from others, it’s really the experience of coming here. Because we understand that you come to a hospital, particularly for treatment, we want you to focus on your recuperation. We take care of the non-medical requirements so you can focus on your health. It’s really the experience of having a partner in health that sets TMC apart from other providers.”
“I feel that it is important to have the medical expertise that your clients need. We, at The Medical City offer ethical and compassionate care. Our Wellness and Aesthetics Institute offers a full spectrum of care for our patients.” TMC Chief Medical Officer Gary S. Martinez stated in his closing remarks.
True to its pledge of upholding healthcare excellence, TMC continues to bring quality service and ease of use of its services to every patient.
