A Different Kind of Care
At Thrive Life Center, we believe health care should be designed around you — not around insurance paperwork, approvals, or restrictions. That’s why we operate independently from Philippine insurance providers.

By removing the insurance middleman, we’re able to focus fully on what matters most: your well-being, your goals, and your healing journey. Every recommendation — whether it’s a test, treatment, referral, or wellness plan — is made for your best interest, without delay or compromise.

While our services are not directly covered by insurance, many patients choose to maintain a separate physician within their insurance network for covered needs, and see us as their private wellness and healing consultants. This model gives you the freedom to access cutting-edge holistic care while still benefiting from insurance for other services when needed.

It’s health care without limits — personalized, proactive, and fully dedicated to you.

We avoid the huge administrative overhead (billing, coding, pre-auths, etc) that comes with accepting insurance. We can give better and spend time with patients instead of insurance forms. 

Not at all. In fact, we have a great deal to offer those with some of the most serious chronic medical conditions, like diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune illnesses, and cancer, among others. We aim to treat with the least invasive and toxic means possible, but effective, excellent treatment is always our goal.

There is something to be said for person-to-person contact and physical exams! However, since we are not reliant on insurance reimbursement (which requires face-to-face meetings), we can manage via phone, video call, or email, if that’s your preference. We want to make this easy for you. 

No. Everyone should have at least catastrophic insurance for unanticipated medical disasters. An often used analogy of the current reliance on “comprehensive” health insurance, though, is that it is like getting car insurance that covers your gasoline… and limits the gas stations you are allowed to use… and negotiates individual prices with each vendor … and so on. Everyone needs to see their doctor periodically. Having a safety net for major accidents or illnesses, though, is sensible.

Yes. By choosing holistic root-cause medicine, you:

Reduce chronic medication costs,

Lower risk and frequency of costly ER visits or hospital stays,

Potentially cut your annual health-related expenses by ₱25,000–30,000 or more.
