“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” This was Calvo’s Insurance general manager Eli Buenaventura’s statement when asked to give his best healthy advice to the public.

Understanding health insurance can sometimes be confusing to most consumers. Many people don’t know where to look, whom to contact and what to choose. Plans differ, both in how much you have to pay and how easy it is to get the services you need. Although no plan will pay for all the costs associated with your medical care, some plans will cover more than others.
But with Calvo’s Insurance flexibility, such difficulties in choosing health care plan can be avoided through their outstanding coverage of their program designed to meet individual and family health care needs.
SelectCare is the only health plan on Guam and in the CNMI that offers more than a dozen of different levels of medical coverage, and three levels of dental coverage. This health care program gives its customers the option to organize their own benefits package.
Due to their excellent service, Calvo’s Select Care has outstandingly reached 35,000 members, more than 50 percent increase from last year’s 17,000 members. This figure proves the needs of having health insurance despite the insufficient budget of some people.
These members have access to an extensive network of medical providers on Guam, the CNMI, Hawaii, the continental USA and the Philippines. Members also save money by accessing the Center of Excellence, which are hospitals chosen by their commitment to quality care. The network in the Philippines includes six hospitals and new facilities such as the Asian Hospital and the Medical City.
Stressing the role of Calvo’s in today’s time, “We offer various health plans to give peace of mind to our customers in case of any serious illness. Calvo’s Insurance is pro-life and pro-health and we make sure that they are available and most importantly, affordable,” Buenaventura said.
