Intellicare SureHealth Bayanihan Card: A Gift of Health to more than a hundred thousand beneficiaries

Many Filipinos know too well the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on their daily lives. Millions have lost their jobs and livelihoods, while thousands more have struggled with the disease itself. For many, the pandemic cannot end soon enough.

But during this time of crisis, there are organizations and corporations who have risen to the task of serving their fellow countrymen. Among these is Intellicare, the country’s preeminent health maintenance organization.

This year marks Intellicare’s 25th-year milestone. However, given the circumstances experienced by Filipinos all over the country, the company has decided to defer the revelry and all in-person events.

In lieu of celebrating its 25th anniversary, Intellicare has instead decided to play an active role in the betterment of Philippine healthcare, particularly fostering hope and recovery amongst our fellowmen during these trying times.

“As we continue to survive and live through one of the most significant moments in history, we also take this moment to pause and reflect. How do we turn this glorious achievement into something meaningful for ourselves and for the lives of the customers and communities we serve?” Intellicare said.

Following a theme of ‘Caring in Infinite Ways,’ Intellicare is taking a commitment to focus on its social responsibility and improveits services, operations, and offerings to cater to the demands of the new, hopefully better, normal and beyond.

One of the company’s main initiatives is SureHealth Bayanihan. It is a prepaid health card intended to be given to non-Intellicare members through the support of its employees, corporate clients, and partners. Intellicare notes that it is its caring way of giving back to its stakeholders and having a more meaningful 25th-anniversary celebration.

Through this project, thousands of employees and members of Intellicare, along with its business partners, can nominate a beneficiary to receive a free health card. Depending on the card type, the SureHealth cards grant different benefits ranging from free consultations, dental checkups, annual physical examinations, and discounts for diagnostic services, within the Aventus Clinic network (https://www.aventusmedical.com/).

“Compassion or compassionate healthcare plays an integral role in our organization,” Intellicare said.“To this day it is something that our founders instilled in us as much as possible. We recognize that being one of the key players in the HMO industry is a huge responsibility in terms of bettering the health and life of Filipinos. Ensuring quality, affordable, accessible healthcare is our noble purpose and it is something we will uphold amidst all challenges from emergencies to pandemics.”

For corporate clients and partners who will receive free Intellicare SureHealth Bayanihan cards, an email will be sent through the client HR or POC with a code that recipients can share with their nominated beneficiaries to proceed to enrollment. Afterwards, the beneficiaries will be given instructions on how to activate the card, after which they will receive an email confirming their successful activation. The Intellicare SureHealth Bayanihan card will then be ready for use.

In keeping with the technological demands of the new normal, as well as make the benefits convenient and accessible, a digital card will be given thru email for those who have successfully activated their card number. In case the beneficiary wants or needs a physical card, it can be claimed or picked up from the clinic branch of choice.

“Today, uncertainty and change are inevitable. But what remains constant through the years is our brand of care that is anchored on compassion, humanity and our solid commitment to provide access to affordable and quality healthcare to the people. This nobility of purpose is what we are founded on,” the company said.

“Most of us need reassurance, hope, and someone to turn to for our well-being. We may be apart now and distanced, but we are not disconnected. We stay in touch and attuned to the needs of our employees, customers, and fellow citizens,” it added.

The SureHealth Bayanihan project is carried out in collaboration with Aventus Medical Care, Inc. The card grants access to its 16clinics in NCR, Laguna, Pampanga, and Cebu.

“Let us celebrate the gift of health and life each day and continue to create silver linings in these trying times. Then, now, and into the future, we will endure and carry on with our noble mission of providing and delivering Care in Infinite Ways,” Intellicare said.
