Real data from Chong Hua, UC Med, and Cebu Doc. One unplanned admission.
Real hospital bills in Cebu confirm the scale of uninsured risk. An appendectomy at Chong Hua or Cebu Doctors University costs ₱150,000 to ₱300,000 — more than six times what PhilHealth covers. A heart attack requiring five days of ICU care runs ₱500,000 to ₱1.2 million. One year of private cancer treatment — chemotherapy, radiation, oncologist consultations — typically costs ₱1 million to ₱4 million. Even a routine normal delivery at a private hospital costs ₱45,000 to ₱120,000. Without insurance, any of these events becomes a financial emergency that erases years of savings. AXA Global Health Access covers all of these conditions cashlessly at every major Cebu hospital — without requiring pre-authorization or a specific network. It is the only product in the Philippine market with a lifetime coverage limit of up to ₱175 million, designed for exactly the scenarios below.

For Expats & Foreign Residents
Health Insurance in Cebu for Foreign Residents
Foreign nationals living in Cebu City — whether retired expats, digital nomads, or working professionals — can access AXA Global Health Access through Crux Consultants Ph. AXA GHA covers treatment at any accredited hospital in Cebu (Chong Hua, Cebu Doctors, UC Med) and provides worldwide emergency coverage if you travel or return to your home country.
International plans from Cigna, Allianz, or BUPA may provide global coverage but cost significantly more than AXA Philippines local plans. For long-term Cebu residents, an AXA GHA plan combined with a local HMO often gives broader Cebu hospital access at lower total cost than international-only coverage. Crux advisors can model both options.
