What University of Cebu Medical Center does

University of Cebu Medical Center (UCMed), legally University of Cebu Medical Center, Inc., is a privately held multi-specialty acute care hospital founded in 2015 and headquartered at Mantawi International Drive, North Reclamation Area, Mandaue City, Philippines. It operates as the first Level 3 Apex private hospital in Cebu and is part of the University of Cebu educational group, led by Chairman Atty. Augusto W. Go, President Candice Gotianuy, and Medical Director Dr. Armando V. Tan. The institution is organized around a network of specialized centers — including the Kalusugan Center (PhilHealth YAKAP primary care and cancer screening), Eye Center, Diabetes and Nutrition Center, Dialysis Center, CathLab Center, Cardio-Diagnostic/Heart Center, Hematology-Oncology Unit, Women's Health Center, Infection Prevention and Control Unit, Center for Sleep Health and Wellness, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy — supported by departments in Surgery, Pediatrics, OB-GYN, Internal Medicine, Radiology, and Orthopedics, plus an accredited residency training program.

The hospital's core technology footprint comprises advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment such as the first fully-integrated 3D Endoalpha Minimally Invasive Surgery Suite in Southeast Asia, Contrast Enhanced Dual Energy Mammography (CEDEM) using Siemens MAMMOMAT Revelation, Siemens SOMATOM X.ceed CT, Philips Azurion 7 C20 with Smart CT, and a CathLab Center capable of pediatric cardiac interventions. Clinical scope spans cardiology, oncology, nephrology, ophthalmology, diabetes management, bariatric and minimally invasive surgery, and maternal/child health, with digital service layers including online appointment booking, online test results portals, telemedicine/eHealth consultations, and Dragon Pay/BDO/PayPal payment integrations.

UCMed generates revenue through a transactional, service-line-driven model with four primary streams: direct hospital patient services (consultations, diagnostics, inpatient and outpatient care), PhilHealth reimbursements across YAKAP, GAMOT, and Z-Benefit packages, HMO and insurance billing, and one-time executive wellness check-up packages. Patients access services via walk-ins, online appointment systems, PhilHealth Kalusugan Center registration, and direct phone contact; corporate clients are served through sales-led workplace vaccination programs (e.g., San Miguel Corporation). The hospital supplements paid services with community medical missions and educational lay forums, positioning accessibility and PhilHealth integration as core go-to-market levers in the Central Visayas region.
