Maxicare PRIMARY TARGET MARKET (PTM) are corporations
• Large corporations (ex. San Miguel, BDO, Call Centers) who take care of their workers (executives, managers, regular employees)– 18-60 years old– Male and Female– Class A, B, C– Single or Married
• Lifestyle: Working individuals, employed• Behavior: Premium healthcare at its finest
My PTM’s NWE
• Corporations NEED access to medicines and doctors for their health needs.
• Corporations CHOOSE Maxicare because they want an equally, or even more successful corporation as their partner in healthcare (reputation and credible HMO).
– Maxicare is one of the largest HMO in the country = small chance of closing, big pool of clients to spread and minimize risk, nationwide coverage.
– Corporations EXPECT excellent service with Maxicare. They expect to get the best services for the price they are paying.
• Maxicare is priced higher than its rivals and did not follow the trend of sacrificing services to offer lower prices.
• Some insurance companies were not able to serve clients because of the very low priced rates hence had to close.
Maxicare focuses on healthcare at its finest.Best in Product / Service
Based on competitor data, HMO market is P10.5 B industry and Maxicare’s share is
1.698 B (16% market share)
Based on Maxicare data, where Maxicare share is 25%, total market
size is P20 billion
• Maxicare Data: Membership base is 500,000– *average annual fee of P13,058– (500,000 * P13,058 = 5 Billion)
• Maxicare claims market share of 25%
• Then total healthcare market size is 5 billion / 0.25 = P20 billion.
Estimate market size using customer data (Market size = 59 B)
Only 45% have insurance.Filipinos with insurance = 94 million x 45%= 42.3 million
Market size= 42.3 M Filipinos x P1,400 = 59 billion
