Talk to our financial advisor today to learn more about the policy details and the list of critical illnesses covered by HealthFlex.
 


HealthFlex offers flexible payment options based on your age and coverage amount. For example:
 

  • Bryan, age 30, pays ₱83/day or ₱30,270/year until age 60 for ₱1,000,000 coverage.

  • Monica, age 40, chooses a 10-year payment plan, paying ₱243/day or ₱88,774/year for ₱1,000,000 coverage.
     

Whether you prefer short-term payments or extended terms until age 60, HealthFlex makes it easier to manage your cash flow while staying protected up to age 100.
 


It’s best to buy critical illness insurance while you're young. HealthFlex offers a flexible plan with payments until age 60, helping you stay protected without straining your budget.

See this sample illustration of the benefits you can enjoy:

Meet Bryan, a 30-year-old marketing officer aiming high. He juggles sports, travel, and work, but worries about critical illness. For ₱83/day or ₱30,270/year until age 60, he gets a HealthFlex plan with ₱1,000,000 coverage.
 


Even if you already have life insurance, critical illness insurance adds to a vital layer of protection that life insurance alone doesn’t offer. Life insurance supports your beneficiaries after death. On the other hand, critical illness insurance provides a lump sum cash benefit if you're diagnosed with a serious illness like cancer, stroke, or heart attack. This benefit can be used for treatment, recovery, or everyday expenses. It’s a separate payout that complements your existing coverage, including life insurance, health cards, or PhilHealth.
 


You may explore Manulife’s health protection plans online and request a consultation. A licensed Manulife financial advisor can explain available coverage options and guide you through the application process. Approval and coverage are subject to underwriting and applicable terms and conditions.
