“Knowing that medical emergencies can be financially burdensome, especially for individuals without health insurance, TMC Iloilo sees this ASSURE card as the silver lining to better attend to its patients. It comes at a reasonable cost, but a handful of benefits, including its transferability feature. This can serve as the people’s health emergency partner,” Dr. Villa added.  

 

In terms of its benefits, the ASSURE card allows cardholders to decrease their hospital fees as the card covers a certain amount of Emergency Room stay and assessment, diagnostic tests and procedures, emergency medicines, and other fundamental medical services.
