Lyin-in options
For those who wish to give birth in a lying in clinic, be prepared to pay Php 9,000 to Php 25,000. Other factors may influence the price depending on the mother’s health.
If your baby will require special equipment, you may also need to consider pricing on incubators or NICU rates. Doctors will provide you options in terms of baby care after delivery.
Where is the best hospital to give birth?
If you have a dedicated OB Gyne doctor, ask him or her whether there is an ideal hospital or clinic for your type of pregnancy. It is a good idea to choose a hospital where the doctor is affiliated as this will be easier and more convenient.
If you have a high risk pregnancy type, you should also consider a hospital that offers services for such cases. You may be put in a special room or operating room especially made for women with risky pregnancy.
Most maternity package price rates are applicable with Philhealth. You can save a lot by using your account. If you have an HMO card, you may also use it to lessen the total amount of the package. Inquire with your health card provider how you can use your account.
