Small and underinsured
If you’re a small company, then you’ve probably already realized the challenge of getting a health plan for you and your employees: HMOs usually cater to big businesses. It might give you small comfort to know that you’re not alone. Based on 2014 figures provided by the Philippine Statistics Authority, there are 946,988 establishments in the Philippines. Do you know how many of these are MSMEs (micro, small, and medium enterprises)? A whopping 99.6%, or 942,925. That’s a huge chunk of the market whose health needs aren’t being met.
Needless to say, not being able to secure health coverage for your team can prove to be a huge problem. Health affects all aspects of a person’s being - including productivity at work - and even the healthiest of individuals can get sick every now and then. Everybody instinctively recognizes the need to have some sort of wellness safety net; paying for healthcare out-of-pocket each and every time just isn’t a sustainable option. But how can you get a good health plan from a trusted HMO provider if you’re just a tiny outfit?
