Maxicare opens its nationwide clinics to all walk-ins

Share

VIA GRAPHIC PLUS | MANILA, Philippines (July 23, 2026) — Maxicare Healthcare Corporation is opening the doors of its 49 premium clinics nationwide to all Filipinos, including walk-ins.

This move makes it easier for everyone to have access to state-of-the art and professional healthcare, beyond traditional employer-sponsored HMO coverage.

The announcement comes at a time when access to quality healthcare has become more urgent. An OCTA Research survey of 1,200 Filipino adults found that 67% cite staying healthy as their top personal concern this year. While a study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group found that 64% of Filipino families say they cannot afford a ₱10,000 hospital bill without going into debt.

“When you already feel sick, the last thing you want to do is go through steps one to nine just to see a professional,” shares Raymond Hernandez, Maxicare Group Chief Customer Officer. “This is a reality that most facilities today fail to recognize, and one that makes healthcare feel more out of reach for average Filipinos. By opening our clinics to all walk-ins, we are making it easier for more people to get quality care early, before small health concerns become bigger problems.”

He adds, “This move is part of Maxicare’s continuing mission to make healthcare simpler, warmer, and more accessible. We want every Filipino to know that there is a trusted clinic they can walk into for professional care, whether or not they are part of a traditional HMO plan.”

Starting immediately, anyone with an existing PRIMA prepaid healthcare card can simply walk into any of Maxicare’s 49 clinics to avail of their benefits. Meanwhile, those without a PRIMA card can purchase one on-site and use it immediately with no prior appointment required. This gives them easy access to Maxicare’s premium clinic experience and services, including doctor consultations, and access to on-site laboratory and diagnostic procedures, depending on the PRIMA package.
