My cheap advice. Be healthy and be positive about retirement in Philippines. Get your yearly general check up in States or in Canada. Have an exit plan for emergency health issues. Don't get stuck in the Philippines if your sick.

I’ve been retired for 18 months now been traveling around and prior retirement I’m already eligible for Medicare part A and also elected to get part B. Aside having Medicare I also kept my health insurance from my previous employment where I retired from which was J&J. So I have a very good, if not best medical coverage I can get here in the USA with very affordable co-pay for hospitalization etc. I walked 4 miles every day around my neighborhood when weather permits and currently in the best of health no prescription medication of any kind whatsoever thank the lord🙏🏻Lately, I’ve been thinking about going back in the Philippines and live there as I have everything I needed, We have a beautiful home and transportation that are paid off in the province 🙏🏻 still what worries me is health insurance in the Philippines. I will do more research on pros and cons before deciding whether to move forward. Appreciated all the info and thanks for your hard work🙏🏻

Due to insurance fraud, you still have to come up with cash up front, then claim after the services were rendered. This could take time due to documentation requirements. Make sure you have a lot of cash to cover your hospital bills because the insurance will not pay up front. Especially, when your provider is overseas.

Even without health insurance, I think the hospitalization in the Philippines is still a lot cheaper than in the US. My brother was hospitalized at the Lung Center in QC for more than 2 weeks and his payment upon his discharge came out to only about 100,000 pesos (private room) This is the total with SC and PhilHealth discounts. I went to an EENT and their fee was 1000 pesos and with SC discount, I just paid 750 pesos. So, just set aside extra money when you are there just in case you get hospitalized. It is cheaper than paying some insurance company. Also, Medicare will cover if it is an Emergency. Pay your bill first and Medicare will reimburse you.

Love the edits and your voiceovers, Ate. Can't wait to see the content when you guys are back home. We're in our 30s in Los Angeles but want to settle in the Philippines in our 40s. Recently came back from PI visiting white sand beaches and BGC, and we were blown away by the modernities, excellent restaurants/beautiful malls and obviously the beautiful beaches. We really do not have those things here in the US especially with the rising cost of everything (who's going to build beautiful and modern shops in this economy?), and maybe the closest white sand beach is Mexico, the other Hawaii which does not even compare to Palawan. All the best. Hope you all pull the trigger sooner than later. Time is short. You guys should just let that compound interest work since you guys invested, your upcoming SS and sale of the house/savings. Just pull the trigger!

The problem with health insurance in the Philippines is as you aged only few companies will cover you & if they do, the premium is sky high with limited coverage. As you aged you need medical insurance more cuz you'll have more health issues. The best medical knowledge, most up to date treatment & newly FDA approved medication are not available in Philippines.

This is exactly the reason why I’m staying put in Canada and just visit to PI once in a while. Canadian healthcare has it’s own issues but I never had to worry paying anything everytime I get admitted and I don’t want to bother with insurance in PI. I also like the North American lifestyle but if I slightly do the same lifestyle in PI but surrounded by poverty I can’t for the life of me be able to stand it. Imagine driving in a car in a hot weather and see homeless everywhere and I can’t even help to make their life better. It’s a sad reality, I wish I’m rich so I can setup a homeless shelter in PI even just a small carinderia to feed people.

I missed PI specially the beaches and food but hey there’s always trade off.

I also researched that Life insurance with living benefits can be useful in the Philippines. If you are not able to do the 5 daily activities, they can provide you monthly cash benefits based on your coverage. It covered chronic conditions, cancer, or any injuries that cause for you not to do the 5 daily living. Also, if you have flex spending account from fidelity you can use this as well for your medical expenses even if the clinical situation happened 4 yrs ago.

And yes the benefits you mention is almost the same with mine.

i appreciate the detailed research on costs. mas maigi na gamitan ng ibang criteria like in real life, how well do these insurance companies process claims.kasi all look good on paper. but kahit sa US, maraming horror stories pagdating sa bayad ng claims. also compared to other western countries, US does not have univ healthcare and is profit driven. if you're indigent then it is free but if no, then it is expensive. my sense is dealing with health insurance cos. in pinas is going to be more challenging compared to US and you have to be prepared to pay out of pocket. that is the trade off for attempting to have a robust quality of life in your remaining years. aanhin naman if relatively healthy but without a sense of community and fulfillment. that is not living. so be proactive in your diet and exercise and things within your control but ultimately take calculated risks in health arrangements. nothing is ever guaranteed anyway. think of many expats doing well there, walang roots, iba walang local spouse and on a budget and okay naman. have faith.

BUKOD SA NAPAKAMAHAL, pahirapan pa ang pagke-claims. MINSAN, patay na ang pasyente, hindi pa sumasagot ang insurance company. kaya, minsan, mas mainam pa ang may medical funds or emergency funds na ikaw mismo ang may kontrol. at galingan na lamang sa pag iinvest, para may enough passive income bukod pa sa pension. now a days naman, marami na po investment options.

I have to watch it again. This time I won’t skip adds. One add was 10 minutes long. You have quite a few adds. But I needed to watch the info asap. Thank you for this.

Ate Gi, lahat ng Filipinos are all covered by Philhealth, like all patients undregoing hemodialysis worldwide not pay for The procedure, 156 sessions per year, it is a 3x per week. All meds like Epo, lab tests and medicines are all covered by philhealth. Meaning, The HD patients Dong have to pay a single cent. I believe that holds true for cancer patients.

I know hemo is covered. It not sure that cancer treatment is covered. If that’s true, that is such a big help.

Due to horror stories dealing with insurance companies in the Philippines, I don't trust them. At least in US, they can be sued by anyone, people have rights. Also, PhilHealth is fine for now, but with continued massive corruption, I do not know if it will still be there when the time comes that people need it.

@@rachelboticario4761 where do you live? Depende yata sa lugar o sa ospital sa Pinas at kung anong klaseng US health insurance. I heard some hospitals accept US health insurance but you have to pay first and then file a claim for reimbursement later through US health insurance para mabawi iyong binayad mo sa ospital sa Pinas.

Exactly. Most of the time to get reimbursement from US health insurance, the international hospitals must be JCI-approved facility

Thank God, we are military and federal retirees that’s why our medical insurance can be carried anywhere in the world that we would choice to settled and retired. As for us, we don’t have any reason to retire in the Philippines bcuz of our children and grandchildren. Bata pa kami noong nagpunta kami sa San Francisco, CA., dito na kami naka graduate ng college, built our careers, and proudly serves sa US Military. It’s hard to move and adopt yung bansang hindi na namin kilala and hindi na nakasanayan. Yeah if you have money and thinking of possibility to retire in the Philippines would benefit you and treating you there like queen and king, oh yeah. But what about the quality of service and advancement of medicine in the Philippines still doubtful. Are the doctors in the Philippines knowledgeable on the advance care like medicines, treatment, new medical procedures and new medical equipments and etc? It’s hard to risk our lives to a place that we know for the fact that the health service doesn’t exceeds the quality of service that we deserves.

Try out Paramount insurance. We got one for my mom nasa 70s na xa. Reimbursement basis ung set up you can pay quarterly monthly or annual. Quarterly payment is P2100++. All HMOs here do not cover 60 yrs old above. All you mentioned are too expensive po.

ang pinaka maganda take care of yourself while young dito sa America, at talagang paghandaan, let your children graduate , like my 2 children got scholarships from undergraduate up to master degree , i make sure hindi sila pabigat sa akin , at habang bata mag ipon sa pagtanda, para kung talagang gusto mong mag retire sa Pilipinas use your retirement fee, at siguro kung hindi mo talaga maiwasan magkasakit sa Pilipinas, if you are retirees , the government can still help you , go to DWSD at mag research kung sino ang makakatulong sa iyo, kung wala ka talagang means the Government can still help at depende rin sa City you are located

Why no information about the elderly who need medical insurance coverage beginning at age 80. I want to bring my mom but I need health insurance for her.
