LEADING medical and travel insurance provider Pacific Cross introduces FlexiShield, a second layer plan, designed to meet clients' needs in case their health maintenance organization (HMO) or health insurance plan reaches its maximum benefit limit.

'An illness in the family has an impact both on an individual's health and their finances. Some medical conditions, especially those that require confinement, can become quite costly to treat,' shares Victor Tanjuakio, president and chief executive officer of Pacific Cross. 'We hope to help ease some of the worries that come with situations like these with FlexiShield.'
