The Medical City - nagpahysteroscopy ako doon last year.

Bill is around 70k - 80k, but I only paid around 2k because I got covered with Maxicare (malaki ang MBL ko). Part of that was also paid by Philhealth.

I got a nice private room, yun ang isa sa nagpataas sa billing. But if you stay on wards or semi-private dapat mas mababa dyan. Medicines that was prescribed was not included.

If you get back to your OB, try to ask how much ang hysteroscopy and where you can save on the bill.

Thanks sa response.. ask ko lang mga magkano kaya mababawas ng philhealth? Wala kasi ako ibang healthcard,. Philhealth lang.. saka wala kasi hysteroscopy yung affiliated na hospital nung ob ko.. yung ordinary dilation and cutterage procedure lang daw.. kaya try ko sana maghanap ng ospital na meron ganun procedure saka mejo mababa ang cost for operation.

You can try checking St. Luke’s and other similar leading hospitals as well to see kung magkano.

Yun nga D&C kasi ang option if walang hysteroscopy, pero mas OK ang hysteroscopy dahil parang halos walang nangyari. Saka hindi 100% foolproof ang D&C at baka ipabalik ka rin lang for another D&C kung may natira pang polyp (as far as I understand). Mas “high-end” and better procedure ang hysteroscopy so better to go for this.

Around mga 10% ang binabawas ng Philhealth - more or less - sa experience ko.

Parang ganun nga nangyari sa akin kasi nung 2012 nadiagnose ako na may endometrial polyp.. tpos this year na naman nung nagpaultrasound ako polyp na naman na kailangan tanggalin.. D&C lang kasi ginawa sakin nung dati ko ob sa pampanga. Pano pala yun kung sakali pla pupunta ako sa diff. Hospitals to inquire kung may hysteroscopy sila at mga magkano? Kelangan ko ba magbayad pa ng consultation fee sa doctor? Kaya naisip ko magtanong dito.. kasi mejo tight din sa budget eh..

try to look for big manila hospitals websites and get the phone number so you can ask instead of visiting these.

most likely may bayad ang consultations. but then i am covered with HMO issued ng work ko but i still submit the LOA twing checkup (so they are charged). you may need an new OB who does hysteroscopy.

Try mo ask if i-cocover na yung operation mo when you try to avail.

Most HMOs don’t cover pre-existing conditions when you apply. Pasok na ata sa preexisting yung sa iyo.

Try mo rin see if you can get the prepaid ones, para di ka yearly nagbabayad.

To also get the Philhealth, dapat updated ka rin sa contributions for a certain number of months to avail the benefit - is your current employer paying it? Or are you voluntarily paying this? Kasi if not then you cannot avail it.

Okay naman yung philhealth ko updated naman ang bayad. Kaso maliit lang din ang macocover sa cost of operation hindi tulad ng sa HMo tulad sayo kasi 2k lang binayaran mo. Thanks sa info try ko nalang din itanong kung pwede ba magamit bago ako mag avail.. salamat..
