With inflation and the rising cost of living prompting many Filipinos to delay healthcare, Maxicare Healthcare Corporation has partnered with Billease to make preventive medical care more accessible through flexible digital payment options.
The partnership integrates Maxicare PRIMA healthcare plans into the Billease app marketplace, allowing eligible customers to discover, purchase, and pay for prepaid healthcare products through convenient installment options.
“Billease is the ideal partner in upgrading our healthcare through more convenient, flexible payment solutions that make our services and products more accessible to members,” said Christian Argos, Group President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Maxicare.
“This partnership is a testament to how healthcare and financial technology can unite to address traditional barriers to medical security, ensuring that high-quality medical coverage is within everyone’s reach,” he added.
Bringing preventive healthcare within reach
Maxicare PRIMA is a lineup of prepaid healthcare cards designed to make outpatient and preventive care more accessible to Filipinos. Available through a one-time payment, the plans provide access to Maxicare Clinics nationwide and offer a range of healthcare benefits, including unlimited consultations, routine checkups, laboratory tests, diagnostics, and specialized care for mothers, babies, and individuals with specific healthcare needs. Selected plans also provide coverage for up to one year.
By making PRIMA available on the Billease platform, Maxicare is expanding access to preventive healthcare by giving customers the option to purchase eligible plans through installment payments with flexible terms and real-time credit approvals.
“True financial inclusion means providing credit where it can make the most meaningful impact on people’s lives,” said Kurt Molina, Head of POS Product at Billease.
“Embedding our platform into Maxicare’s ecosystem breaks down traditional economic barriers to healthcare, making quality preventive care accessible to all.”
Seamless digital purchase experience
Customers can complete the entire purchase process within the Billease app. After downloading the app and creating an account, users can browse the Deals section, select their preferred Maxicare PRIMA plan, choose a payment option, and complete the transaction—all within a single digital platform.
The initiative, developed in partnership with Protech, aims to expand access to healthcare among underserved and unbanked Filipinos by reducing the financial burden often associated with preventive medical care.
“Maxicare can now reach more health-conscious Filipinos who may have delayed or deferred their preventive care due to different barriers,” said Josephine Lopez, President and Chief Executive Officer of Maxicare Clinics.
“By opening our clinics to all, even walk-ins, we reinforce our commitment to ensuring healthcare access and empowering proactive health management for everyone.”
