Chad Foster recently put out a video on this subject where he interviewed an American guy with a Health Care background and it is the most comprehensive and detailed video I have ever seen on this subject and is well worth a watch. He goes into every aspect and has done extensive research before moving to the Philippines and also on arrival in the Philippines. The guy has visited hospitals in Cebu, had meetings with various medical insurers and really does do a deep dive into the subject.

One thing that he did mention was that he has an agent to speed up and make sure the whole process of hospital admission and contact between the hospital and his health insurer runs smoothly. He mentioned that if the hospital just call the 0800 number on the health card for your medical insurer that it is redirected through Manila and the whole process takes longer. His agent makes admission and the process quicker.

He also makes some good points about different hospitals specialising in different things and that you should know the best hospital for treatment.

He also said that before he left the US he checked online which medications he took were available in the Philippines and the ones that were not, he researched suitable alternatives available and asked his doctor in the US if the alternatives were suitable. I think he said that he checked Watson;s Pharmacy in the Philippines to make sure they were available. He also mentioned that his local Barangay Captain has an ambulance and fire truck at his disposal.

I would recommend anybody interested should check out the video.
