Angioplasty to Save your Heart

Last Updated on September 18, 2024 by MedicalPinas

An angioplasty’s cost can range from ₱150,000 to ₱350,000 and above but will depend on available packages that you will avail. The lowest rate that we found is ₱105,000 in a government hospital in QC. Philhealth for sure will cover a part of the expenses.

Here are some of the popular hospitals in Metro Manila that offer good angioplasty services. Contact them to know more about the pricing.

St. Luke’s Medical Center8723-0101
Makati Medical Center8811-8000
The Medical City711-7888

Philippine General Hospital8525-4000
Manila Doctors Hospital528-7000
University of Santo Tomas Hospital731-3001
Cardinal Santos Medical Center8727-0001

What are the additional expenses for the procedure?

Sometimes, a separate charge is used for devices for the heart. If pacemakers and tubing are not included in the package, you may spend an additional Php 90,000.

Will I be asleep during angioplasty procedure?

During an angioplasty procedure, you will typically not be completely asleep, but you will be under a form of anesthesia to ensure your comfort.

Is it painful to have?

The area where the catheter is inserted (usually the groin or arm) will be numbed with local anesthesia. You might feel a brief needle prick or a sensation of pressure, but the area will be numb, so you shouldn’t experience significant pain.

Do I need confinement in the hospital?

Yes, hospitalization is generally required for an angioplasty procedure, but the length of stay can vary based on individual status. The doctor may also perform other tests or monitor you.

How long is the surgery procedure for angioplasty?

It will typically last for 30 minutes up to 2 hours according to NYP.

One of our friends had the procedure at Philippine Heart Center and his total bill was Php 189,000. It is more expensive because other tests and monitoring were done before his release from the hospital.

    I observed that government heart hospital do not render public health service with
    minimum fee especially if the patient is a government employee, what is the pag-ibig contribution for? what is the universal health care for? what is the reciprocating benefits for the government worker who works for the government and serving for the people welfare?

    I underwent heart bypass 14 years ago, 2007. Now I’m feeling difficulty in breathing again, and taking nitrates. Next step if these meds fail, would be angioplasty. What hospital would you recommend?

      Hello,
      Please note that Angiogram is NOT the same as Angioplasty that’s why their respective prices are different.

    Does being a Philhealth member significantly reduces the high cost of angioplasty operation?

      Thank you for the information. Usually in most hospitals, surgeries that relate to the heart are expensive.

        Are you saying this is reasonable? It seems much higher than any of the other hospitals. When I asked the doctor before the operation the price he quoted 400, 000. When I got the bill it was 650, 000 and they won’t move from that figure.

          Reasonable may be a relative term. However, surgical procedures involving the heart are in the higher bracket of expenditure. Most of the time, doctors will be able to quote only a conservative amount say for example in your case 400,000. But because there are so many factors at play (e.g. days of confinement, special use of equipment, sudden use of medication, or an increase in dosage of anesthesia), it may be difficult to have a fixed price rate. We cannot speak for the hospital since we are not affiliated with any institutions. What you can do is to request for a breakdown of expenses. Hospitals can provide such document for their patients. Just to illustrate, one patient at a hospital in QC had to undergo titanium implant in the lumbar spine. The initial quote of the surgeon was Php 900,000. However, the patient had to be confined for a week, together with additional therapies, antibiotics and additional doctor visits. The final bill that the patient incurred reached Php 1.3 million. Hope this helps.

      it depends upon how many stent the patients needs. For example, if the patient needs 1 (meaning 1 blockage of heart, then one stent may cost 200-300k plus may or may not include room, operating cost doctors pf and more. If the patient needs 2 stents, meaning 2 blockages are needed to have angioplasty then the cost will be doubled. That how the prices varies.. It depends upon the condition of the patient, the more blockages the more in need of stents the higher the price will it cost. The hospital has different price ranges too.. St Luke’s has a state of the art facility but very expensive. Philippine Heart Center is one of the best hospital for the heart too but offers a lower price.

        You have to know how many stent was used. If there is one. De La Salle Cavite might be more expensive compared to other hospitals. It is comparable to the price in St Lukes.
