hospital services and fees

[chieffy]

kailangan nang paghandaan ulit at may darating akong bagong tsikoting...nais ko sanang humingi ng comments / advice sa hopital, pati na rin sa ob-gyne (preferably accredited ng medicard) nito at mga fees...

si luigi ay sa medical city ipinanganak nang normal at di ko na matandaan gastos...okay naman yung dating doktora namin...ngayon nakakagulat na ang presyo lalo na pag caesarian section ang delivery ng bata kaya... eto po ang tanong ko

okay ba sa San Juan de Dios? (facilities, nursery, etc. etc.)
may mairecommend ba kayong OB na accredited ng medicard dito?
san nag deliver ng bata mga misis nyo at kamusta naman ang service? presyo?

[theveed]

For OB, I think it's best you contact Medicard (or check your booklet) kung san meron, talk to him/her and do your assesment.

Ang magagastos mo sa panganakan malaking bagay ang rate ng OB dahil porsyento ng OB ang chinacharge ng ibang doctor like sa anesthesiologist, etc...

Like in our case, dati, since tita ni misis ang OB namin, di pa umabot ng 60K ang bill namin lahat lahat sa Med City, sagot pa lahat ng medicard at yung sa pedia nareimburse sa philhealth, actually may credit pa kami ng mga 3K nun.

Chieffy alam mo naman kung saan ako nag-aaral at nagtatrabaho. Hehehe. Kaya yun lang ang marerecommend ko sa iyo. If you need an OB marami akong tita, ninang, at lola na iyan ang trabaho. Hindi ka naman siguro tatagain.

Tapos kunin niyo na ding pedia ang mother ko after delivery. hehehe.

I'm just wondering, hospitals don't ask for deposit or discuss the price for procedures etc kapag admitted? It's our first time kasi sa SLMC BGC and I am wondering why nobody asked for deposit or any kind of payment? My Mom said baka mabulaga tayo sa billing LOL

You can go to the accounting dept and ask for your running bill

[Dr.Kamiya]

I'd take that as a compliment haha. I guess they assesed you guys as looking like you were quite capable of paying

[ice15]

nasa hospital elevator ako the other day. 4 lang kami sa loob
doctor was talking to his team about a specific patient, they were discussing their options when 1 doctor reminded them na "limited funds" si patient. then they all went quiet...

[carxynogen]

So may ganito din pala sa private hospital?
If hindi ka capable look, possible na hindi mo makukuha yung best service ng doctor/hospital?

Naalala ko tuloy lalo na sa mga manganganak, if mayaman looks kayo lalo na if sa profiling pa lang, capable ang family based on job/profession, automatic na for Cesarian operation talaga kahinatnan.

Unlike if sa profile, medyo tagilid based on job/profession, they will find ways na under normal operations panganganak ng patiente.

The initial deposit or insurance is still enough to cover payments ... when it runs low ... they're going to ask for more ... or ... the doctor / administrator has vouched for the patient ...

We don't have HMO or insurance. I never paid a deposit. The only time payment was discussed was if cash or HMO and I signed cash. We don't have kakilala. Mom and I were laughing nga na if this is how they do cash patients e what if after discharge you say e wala ka pambayad [emoji23]

wala na ngang pila, wala pang singil.
kung minsan ay libre pa gamot, opera, at procedure.

alam namin kung sinong duktor ang magaling at may kaluluwa.

personally,
dr google don't cut it.
it will narrate to you the generalizations, but not the fine detail nor the unwritten items..
in my view, "that's dangerous".
heh heh.

bottomline,
"consult your doctor".

I asked the nurses sabi they will only inform you pag malaki na yung bill, e what's malaki? That's subjective

EDIT: I asked billing and they said it depends on the admitting officer or if they know that the stay will cost a lot talaga (probably based on the illness)

^^^ As much as possible, doctors would try to save lives, unless sabihin mo DNR. Actually yun ang bilin ko sa family ko na DNR ako pag critical.
