Caritas Health Shield Reviews 2020

Image
If you intend to buy Caritas Health Shield products, think again. I have compiled several Caritas Health Shield reviews for 2020 for the benefit of those who would like to  research HMOs before they take their leap to buy a health card. This was the first thing I searched for when I looked for an angle to this story. And boy what I did found! I was thinking of abandoning this review because there are a lot of juicy materials already and I don't want to further add to the discussion. FAKE REVIEWS about Caritas Health Shield There are already a lot of reviews about Caritas Health Shield. What I did is to consolidate them since some of these reviews have been reported and flagged as spam by the outsourced personnel of caritas health shield. Such as the blog of mumbles (dianagolez.wordpress.com). I hope this blog will not suffer the same fate as her blog.  Reviews from the blog Most of my writings personal observations only and I am not an authority in this co

Shields up ngayon ang Caritas Health Shield

Ano na ang nangyayari ngayon sa Caritas Health Shield? Kamakailan lang, napabalita na ulit ang Caritas Health Shield sa mga pahayagan at sila ay binigyan ng CEASE AND DESIST ORDER due to FRAUD ng Insurance Commission. Ano ang ibig sabihin ng Cease and Desist order? Ibig sabihin, pinatigil na ng Komisyun ang pagbenta ng mga produktoo magnegosyo ang Caritas Health Shield. Ito ay dahilan sa kanilang pangit na pamamalakad ng negosyo dati - sa unauthorized swiping ng mga credit card na nireklamo na natin dati sa blog na ito at sa pagbebenta na may kaakibat na misrepresentation or pagsisinungaling. Hindi ito ang unang pagkakataong napabalita ang Caritas Health Shield. Matatandaan natin na noong 2017, meron din silang show cause order. Kaya maganda na ipasara nalang ang Caritas Health Shield para mawala na itong mga nakakahiyang ginagawa nila. May mga itinalagang tagabantay sa kumpanyang ito upang masiguradong sinusunod nila ang alituntunin ng Insurance Commission.

Caritas Health Shield is Stepping Up their Online Game... With FAKE Reviews and Testimonials!

In a blatant display of incompetence, Caritas Health Shield has resorted once again to spamming. While their text spam tactics are now underground, they now have resorted to spamming the web. I thought they were just about reporting my blog HMO Karma. Turns out, they have another tactic which I discovered today. What else are up your sleeves eh? Caritas Health Shield are spamming their reviews on Google Maps. Take a look at their review here: note: I didn't leave a review yet. They've got a much-coveted 4.9 star review out there right? Seems they've got high standards and all. However, if you click on the link marked 8 Google Reviews, you will find fake reviewers such as these: These are only 2 of the many suspicious fake accounts that reviewed Caritas Health Shield.  Why Google Reviews About Caritas Health Shield are Fake The profiles I presented above only have 2 reviews and both are about Caritas Health Shield! Strange coincidence. Th

HMO Karma Was Reported Yet Again..... This Time They Succeeded

What happened to HMO Karma? To my more than 1,400 visitors for the past months I am sorry to inform you that our HMOKARMA.WORDPRESS.COM  is no longer in service. The personnel at Caritas Health Shield  has successfully reported and brought down our website. Being an old hag (and a relative newbie), I didn't have the patience to appeal and revive the blog. Still I hope I was able to help you. What I did was a case of " CAVEAT EMPTOR" to those who want to buy caritas health shield products . Let the buyers beware of what you are buying. Especially if it's healthcare. And especially if it is expensive. That short-lived blog had more than 40 inquiries and I would like to answer them here: Is Caritas Health Shield a Scam?  Yes there design looks scammy. But no. Caritas Health Shield is not a scam. Rather, the company has a problem with their marketing. Some of their agents do not follow a code of ethics. They will drag you from your place, fool you, sell

Caritas in Panic Mode - A Lesson in Online Advertising

Apparently our blog was reported to WordPress by operators at Caritas Health Shield for exposing the truth. HMO Karma was taken down for a short amount of time on September 5 during the height of the controversy . In a desperate attempt to revive my blog, I searched for my backup in the bowels of the internet and found this: Caritas Health Shield is attempting to advertise online! Instead of trying to find my backup, I took this screenshot. This is laughable. A lame attempt at advertising. I forgot about my backup and thankfully this blog was revived. What's Wrong With Caritas' Advertisement? I am not an online marketing expert but let me share to you what's wrong with their advertising: Everything. Use of Keywords It is only when you search for "Caritas Health Shield" that the advertisement appears. They should have advertised for the word " Caritas Health Shield complaints " or " Caritas Health shield reviews " or

Caritas Health Shield in Trouble?

A recent development about a financial trouble brewing in Caritas Health Shield arrived in my inbox last night. It reports that Caritas Health Shield has a deficiency of 7Billion in cash reserves. As you might know, I have reported this here but I didn't know the extent of their fund deficiency. I thought it was at only 1 or 2 billion. In simple terms, si Caritas Health Shield pabagsak po according sa report. This will be another version of the College Assurance Plan and Pacific Plans fiasco. Considering that Mr. Geoffrey Martinez and most of the executives of Caritas Health Shield are from Pacific Plans , hindi ito malabong mangyari. Some issues raised here are the following: Caritas Health Shield was Asked to Raise Fresh Capital Caritas Health Shield—reportedly the biggest health maintenance organization (HMO) and preneed firm “hybrid” in the Philippines—has been asked by the Insurance Commission to raise fresh capital amid allegations by former managers that th

How to Cancel Your Health Card

So I was finally able to terminate my Caritas Health Card. It took me about 4 months of contacting and going to their head office which is located in Quezon City. It's about 2 hours away from my residence. Here is the process in getting back your hard-earned money: The Background A gay insurance agent in SM Sta. Rosa Laguna approached me as i entered the mall's premises. While I was looking to renew my health insurance with my previous health provider, I was not thinking of buying Caritas Health Shield because of their online reputation. That person met me and told me that it's Caritas Health Shield's anniversary and as a promo, they are giving me a freebie - a free life insurance and discounts from clinics. They would also include travel incentives. I must admit that I did not think at that time. I was mesmerized by the offer. So I went with them to their office, sat through their presentation. A lady came over, a clearbook in hand. She explained to me ab
