The price of speech therapy can range from Php 850 to Php 3,000 per session among private hospitals. Each session usually lasts for 1 hour. On the other hand, government hospitals have cheaper prices starting from Php 200 to Php 300 only.
Sample Price List
Hospital | Rate per Hour (Php) |
---|---|
Jose Lingad Hospital (Pampanga) | 200 |
Makati Medical Center | 1,360 (lower rate) |
The cheapest that we found starts from Php 200 per session if supported by a government agency.
Who Needs It?
Both adults and children can benefit from this therapy depending on their current health conditions. For children, it can be a part of childhood support due to development disorders.
Among adults, the therapy is useful for impairments due an illness including stroke or brain injury. A stroke patient may also need physical and occupational therapy depending on severity.
We tried using one of the major HMO for the service and the coverage is only for 6 sessions, similar to physical therapy benefits.
Based on our research, major hospitals have a dedicated team of therapists. You may find them in the rehab department catering to various types of patients. Why don’t you inquire from a nearby medical center in your area and arrange an appointment?
For Autism
Other diseases like stroke, Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease may also be related to treatment recommendation. Your doctor will determine whether you need such service due to your condition.
Home Service Option
A therapy at home is one of the options for patients with physical disability. One of our team members had the service at home and was charged Php 1,200 per session.
Usually, the price rate for such service will include a home service charge on top of the regular rates.
Who Does It?
A Speech Language Pathologist can help a patient with regards to difficulties with speaking.
