	GR No. 167330 2009-09-18	PHILIPPINE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS v. CIR CORONA, J.
In a decision dated June 12, 2008, the Court denied the petition and affirmed the CA's decision. We held that petitioner's health care agreement during the pertinent period was in the nature of non-life insurance which is a contract of indemnity, citing Blue Cross Healthcare, Inc. v. Olivares[3] and Philamcare Health Systems, Inc. v. CA.[4] We also ruled that petitioner's contention that it is a health maintenance organization (HMO) and not an insurance company is irrelevant because contracts between companies like petitioner and the beneficiaries under their plans are treated as insurance contracts. Moreover, DST is not a tax on the business transacted but an excise on the privilege, opportunity or facility offered at exchanges for the transaction of the business.
	GR No. 167330 2008-06-12	PHILIPPINE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS v. CIR CORONA, J.
Petitioner's health care agreement is primarily a contract of indemnity. And in the recent case of Blue Cross Healthcare, Inc. v. Olivares,[16] this Court ruled that a health care agreement is in the nature of a non-life insurance policy.
