The holidays are here! Finally, it is the time of the year to relax,
unwind, and enjoy all the festive activities with your family and friends. And perhaps, you are now
busy listing all the possible gifts that would spark joy in your loved ones, regardless of whether
they have been naughty or nice.
As everyone is eager to celebrate this season, keep in mind that it can be a risky time as well.
The holidays frequently attract unwanted guests, such as illnesses and accidents ranging from
road accidents to fireworks injuries.
A January 2022 report by the Department of Health (DOH) revealed there were 85 cases of
fireworks-related injuries as the country celebrated the 2022 New Year. While the numbers
continue to decrease each year, it pays off to be ready always for unforeseen emergencies that
can steal your holiday celebrations.
MediCard RxER: The best gift you can give this season
To help you put one of the best gifts under the Christmas tree, MediCard, a leading health
maintenance organization (HMO) in the Philippines, brings you MediCard RxER so you can
ensure that your loved ones are prepared for any unexpected situations while savoring the joy of
the festive season.
The RxER provides a brand-new, specialized healthcare maintenance service that includes
emergency, preventative, and outpatient treatment and is created to give members of all ages the
maximum value and convenience.
In hospitals recognized by MediCard, the overall cap for patients requiring emergency trauma
care is PhP20,000. ER costs, professional fees, and urgent drugs connected to the condition of
accidents, burns, animal bites, and accidental chemical poisoning are also included in emergency
care charges if it is within six hours from the time of the incident.
Emergency diagnostic procedures and lab tests up to PhP5,000, including MRI, CT scan, and
ultrasound, are also covered. Additionally, coverage will be provided for tetanus toxoid, anti-
tetanus serum, and current rabies vaccination. Regular casting and splint are also included.
Is it a one-time-use thing? No. Members may use emergency services more than once for the
said circumstances if the limit has not yet been reached.
The gift that keeps on giving Members of the RxER card are also entitled to an annual physical exam in any MediCard free-
standing clinic and Uro Industrial Clinic (UROIC). This includes a complete blood count, a chest
X-ray, a urinalysis, a fecalysis, and a general check-up for the entire year.
In addition, members get unlimited access to outpatient consultations with primary care
physicians, including general practitioners, general surgeons on a clinic-to-clinic basis,
obstetricians for non-maternity-related check-ups, pediatricians, family medicine physicians, and
medical internists. For other specialists and sub-specialists, on the other hand, the RxER covers
a flat rate of PhP350 for consultations.

outpatient surgeries and other services, and procedures at the Skin & Body Clinic. It also gives
its members dental services, such as one-time oral prophylaxis, dental consultations, and a 30%
