Has anyone had any experience researching health insurance providers here? Which insurance is best for your money, service, etc.  I am familiar with how the doctors and hospitals work. I would like reasonable coverage for accidents and hospital overnight care. I've tried consulting with Philheath but really don't feel comfortable. Any help would be appreciated...

Care to tell me any more.
I have a quotation from Medicard for the VIP programme but they have so many things not covered in the first 12 months of the policy it is virtually worthless.

Not sure what to say but when searching I came across some discussion here: https://www.pinoyexchange.com/discussio … llicare/p5
