When something happens to our little one, usually we go straight to the emergency room. The thing with babies is that they can’t communicate with us what’s wrong. Toddlers and little kids, on the other hand, are prone to get little accidents like cuts and wounds since they’re still developing their motor skills. They love exploring and testing out what they can do as little humans.
For us, parents, we of course worry a lot! But we can’t stop them from discovering the world around. Last 2017, I didn’t expect that we would be at the emergency room for Zeeka, my daughter, a couple of times. Each time that we went to the ER, she had to stay in the emergency room overnight. Our bill at St. Luke’s Makati was always close to Php 10k or a little above ten thousand pesos. I would have loved to have the Maxicare EReady card two years ago!
I’m sure you’ve seen the ads about this product, but I’d like to tell you more about the Maxicare EReady card. The reason being is that a lot of moms (since I posted that I’m a Maxicare Agent and you can get these cards from me!) were asking me more about the product.
Maxicare has released Maxicare Prepaid Cards — these are the cards that you can buy at affordable rates. It’s more affordable than regular plans since each card covers a specific need.

Hi,
May I ask if buying one would need registration for coverage of a specific person? Or can I get one card that can be used by either of my 2 kids during emergency cases?
Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Reigna

Hi! Once you buy, you will need to “activate” the account for one specific person. It takes 7 days for it to be activated, too 🙂
Hello! Do I need the physical card to avail the service or the printed information would be enough? Can I just show the printed information to the emergency room personnel? ^^ And also, are the 6 major hospitals excludid at EReady Titanium?
Thank you in advance!
Author
No need for the physical card 🙂 the information that they sent would be enough. Only the Eready Platinum has access to the major hospitals.:)
Do we need to activate it right away or just when we needed it?
And also I would like to better understand about one time usage? How about for consultation and laboratory is it also one time usage?
Author
Hi Edwin! It’s better to activate it because you’ll never know when an emergency can happen. It’s one time usage for everything that is spent in the emergency room. For emergency room plus confinement, you can check out EReady Advance too 🙂
My son is now using motorcycle going to his work. Just in case ( but knock on wood) there will be motorcycle accident, is it covered by the Maxicare EReady card? Thank you.
Author
Hi Chona! 🙂 Yes, anything that is spent in the ER up to Php 15,000 will be covered 🙂
Author
Be sure that you print out and give him the email that will be sent to you that contains the card number 🙂
Hi. Does it also cover hospitalization for viral and bacterial illnesses? Thank you.
Hi. Does E Ready card also covers hospitalization for viral & bacterial illnesses? Thank you.
Hi! Is it mandatory to have it activated right away upon purchase?
Author
You can wait, but since this is for emergencies, you’ll never really know when you’ll need it. Once activated, you have 7 more days to wait until you can use it 🙂
hello. I would like to ask after regsitration did u get a confrimation e-mail from them? one month na since I purchased and until now wala pa din confrimation either sms/email. When I register it a day after I purchased it says that the reference number is already registered. I’ve been contacting maxicare and no resolution, pabalik balik lang email gang ngayon wala pa dn.
Hi! Is this card good for someone who will undergo laporoscopic chole surgery? If not, would know which is the best card for that. Thanks.
Same question
Hello.
According to their website https://shop.maxicare.com.ph/products/maxicare-eready-advance-platinum-er-coverage-plus-confinement-with-access-to-the-6-major-hospitals , for Maxicare EReady Advance Platinum
“Excludes
Emergency medical assistance if within 150km from place of residence”
This sounds dumb. If you reside in NCR, then all 6 major hospitals are within 150 km and therefore the card cannot be used in any of them. Also, you’d need to be in Baguio or beyond 150 km from your residence to be able to use the card for emergency?
Can you please clarify and explain?
Thank you.
What if nagka emergency while di pa tapos yung activation period and patient pay cash upon emergency admission can they still use the card to cover the following bill like room once activated?
