VALUCARE IS THE HEALTHCARE YOU CAN COUNT ON

My mother was recently  had an operation, and because my brother had a health card, the expenses were covered and we steer clear of the agony as to where we will get the money to pay the bills. Because of this event, I realized that having a health card should be on the top priority of every family.

I was recently invited to witness another event that made me want to avail of the health card even more.

Value Care Health Systems Inc. (ValuCare) one the leading HMO in the country and rated within the top 5 among industry players, recently announced at the Astoria Plaza several milestones and proclaimed “ValuCare is the healthcare you can count on”.

To be assured even more, why I should get this health investment.

ValuCare, established in 1997, has a solid track record in terms of providing affordable and adequate healthcare to its growing plan holders.  Its steady growth over the years has been guided by its vision of providing quality healthcare with compassion.

More recent figures show that ValuCare revenue and operating income continue to trend positively.  It grew its revenue since 2007 by 40% and improved its operating income to 108% over the same period, guaranteeing that is sufficiently funded to cover the needs of its plan holders.

Year-on-year, ValuCare’s revenue grew by an average of 15% over the last five years, and its operating income grew by 26%.  Showing clearly that the company remains financially strong to provide for the needs of its plan holders when it counts the most.
