Angiogram Price in Philippines 2024: Angiography for Blood Vessel Study

An angiogram is a medical test where X rays are used to see the insides of the blood vessels. In some cases, it can be used to see the blood vessels to the heart, the brain and extremities. In the Philippines, the cost of coronary angiogram may range from ₱ 44,000 to ₱ 74,000 for at least two hours of procedure time.

Rates

Here are the prices of angiogram for different body parts and purposes:

Latest Hospital Promos and Discounts

Neck: Php 7,500 to Php 9,000
Heart: Php 44,000
Head: Php 10,000 to Php 12,000

More Affordable Price

We found that the cheapest price for the heart is Php 67,000 which is available at Philippine Heart Center. In government hospitals, the price is 5% cheaper than those in the private segments.

In situations when a patient is confined, Philhealth discounts may be applied. However, out patient procedures may not be covered.

Some HMO or health card companies may cover a portion of the test for the blood vessels. In some health insurance, this may also be covered as a part of the critical illness coverage but may cover only up to Php 5,000.

You’ve always thought that angiogram is for the heart. However, the test is generally used to see the blood vessels and how well blood is flowing. For the purposes of this article, we will specifically talk about coronary angiogram.

Heart disease has become the top cause of death in the Philippines. According to the Malaya Business Insight report, it accounts for a total of 19% of all deaths only to be followed by cancers. This goes to show the importance of diagnostic procedures like angiogram.

Why Doctors Recommend It

Angiography is a procedure that uses X-ray to monitor the flow of blood to the heart. The doctor may prescribe this to see if there are any blockages in the blood vessels that may increase heart attack. This way, treatment options will be more specific whether medication, angioplasty or bypass surgery will be ideal.

Wrist Type

There is a more convenient version of the test for blood vessels. Some hospitals offer the wrist type option which provide less discomfort than traditional procedures.

For Children and Kids

The doctor will decide whether this test is suitable for children. It depends on the needs of the patient and the overall condition. The test for children are also available in most hospitals in the Philippines.

  Hi, posibleng mas mura ang angiogram sa government hospitals. Ang Philippine Heart Center ay may iba’t ibang tests para sa puso, maaari kang mag-inquire sa kanila. Makakatulong rin ang Philhealth na i-cover ang ibang parte ng gastusin.

Hi Alex,
Marikina Valley Medical Center has a heartfelt program started last September 2022. Price for Cardiac-angiogram is P45k, all in for Philhealth Members. Angioplasty starts at P155k ++ depending on the number of stents.

I just have my consultation Sept 03, 2022 with my doctor at Phil. Heart Ctr. regarding the necessity to have a coronary angiogram. I was told by my doctor that it will cost me about P45K to P50K for the procedure as an out patient & subject to a senior discount. My doctor, James Ho charges only P400.00 for consultation fee, while my previous doctor at Chinese Gen charges P1,500.00. For my angio all I have to prepare aside from the money, is a creatinine test, and an RT-PCR test for Covid, 4 hours before the procedure. P500,000.00 is scandalous, even if you have the money. Please informed your other readers to check at Phil. Heart Center. I am a retiree for about 14 years now & is living on my SSS pension & a passive income.

  It is recommended for patients to compare the prices of angiogram in hospitals. In some hospitals, an angiogram package is available which could help you save money instead of multiple medical procedures.

My wife was taken to De La Salle Hospital, Dasmarinas, Cavite. In emergency I was told she should have a test in the Cardiac Center to determine if she would be a suitable candidate for an operation. I was told the cost would be PHP 70, 000. I agreed and sometime later I was shown what I believe to be an angiogram. The doctor told me her problem could be addressed by inserting a stent. He told me the overall cost would be 400, 000. I agreed. The eventual bill was 650,000. It seems the angiogram alone cost 550, 000. I complained about this and asked for a refund but until now, I have not been offered anything.

  Hi Alex,
  In some cases, angiogram may be utilized as part of a procedure. For example, a basic coronary angiogram may start at around Php 50,000. But sometimes, it may be included in a package. For example, in a surgery or cathetherization the price may go up starting from around Php 110,000. You mentioned that there is an insertion of stent which is a major surgical procedure (and understandably expensive). Surgery of this type may cost more than 500,000. Hopefully, you can request for a breakdown of expenses from the hospital.
