Intellicare, a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) provider, said that it is currently in negotiations with network providers, as prices of laboratory tests and admission rates may increase due to oil price hikes.

“We are trying to negotiate with them if they can give us the leeway first before adding those up,” she added. “We are still trying to get their discounted rates and packages that will be sustainable for our system.”
