As medical plan costs in the Philippines face another projected double-digit increase in 2026, Maxicare Group has rebranded MaxiLife as Maxicare Insurance, unifying its healthcare services and financial risk protection under a single brand identity.
Following official regulatory approval from the Insurance Commission, the transition aligns the insurance business directly with the broader Maxicare Group. The strategic shift marks the company’s evolution from a traditional health maintenance organization (HMO) into an integrated healthcare ecosystem that combines health plans, clinic networks, and life insurance products nationwide.
Rather than running as an isolated business unit, Maxicare Insurance now operates alongside the group’s existing infrastructure, which includes 51 Maxicare Clinics, over 1,100 affiliated hospitals and clinics, 749 dental centers, and a network of 22,400 partner physicians across the country.
“This rebrand is more than a change in name. As part of one unified Maxicare Group, Maxicare Insurance extends the care we provide beyond health plans and clinic access to include financial protection for life’s unexpected moments. This allows us to support Filipinos more fully throughout their healthcare and protection journey,” said Glanvill Marquez, Chief Executive Officer of Maxicare Insurance.
To address the historical fragmentation between medical treatment and financial safety nets, the group introduced the Ease Series—a product suite designed to deliver targeted, annually renewable coverage at low price points:
- HealthEase: Offers critical illness and death benefits up to ₱250,000, with annual premiums starting at ₱488.
- LifeEase: Provides life, accident, and disability coverage up to ₱250,000, with annual premiums starting at ₱388.
- ProtectEase: Delivers accident coverage up to ₱250,000 tailored for mobile workers, with annual premiums starting at ₱388.
- ProtectEase Professional: Supplies enhanced risk coverage engineered for gig economy workers, freelancers, and high-risk occupations, with annual premiums starting at ₱398.
Entering its fourth year of operations, the insurance division aims to broaden coverage for individuals lacking employer-sponsored medical plans, linking routine outpatient care, diagnostic tests, and specialist consultations directly with financial safety nets for severe illness or death.
“For our members, this means being supported by one organization that understands both their healthcare and protection needs,” said Marquez. “By bringing these services closer together, we can make it easier for more Filipinos to seek care early and prepare for unexpected events without having to navigate multiple providers.”
