First time ko magamit HMO ko
First time ko magamit yung HMO ko and I was surprised by how easy it was.
Nakalmot ako ng pusa, so kailangan ko magpa-check and anti-rabies shots. Since first time ko gamitin yung HMO ko, I was hesitant kasi I didn't know the process.
Pero desperate times call for desperate measures, kaya una kong ginawa was to check kung anong hospitals yung malapit na covered ng Maxicare.
The nearest was St. Luke's BGC (di ako mayaman, ako ay alipin ng salapi na nagtatrabaho lang in the area), so pumunta ako sa Emergency/Urgent Care.
I walked in, explained what happened, and they checked my injury pretty quickly. Waiting time for the treatment mga 15 mins lang. And same amount of time lang din yung pag-ayos nila afterwards nung HMO coverage ko.
After that, tapos na. I was surprised na ganun lang yun. Since kailangan ko pa ng 2nd and 3rd shots, they told me to go to the Maxicare clinic nearby (di na pala covered kapag di first shot). Luckily across the street lang yung clinic from St. Luke's. Found it interesting na may sarili pa pala silang clinic.
Sa 2nd shot ko I went and was surprised kung gaano kalaki yung clinic. The process was surprisingly streamlined. Just had to scan my card sa machine, tapos may queue number na ako. After that, pinapunta na ako sa doctor and tapos na.
It was so quick mas matagal pa ata akong naglakad papunta doon from our office. I stayed a bit para sulitin yung free coffee haha not today Starbucks. Same experience with my remaining shot.
Anyway baka dahil first time ko lang gumamit ng HMO pero hindi talaga ako sanay na magpa-ospital nang walang gastos. Ano pa kayang pwede kong i-avail para masulit yung healthcare ko? Iniisip ko mga libreng tests, malala rin kasi allergic rhinitis ko, may nakapagtry na ba?
Thanks in advance for the responses!
