birth experience/feedback: Makati Medical Center

@anedim20 yes all in na. if ever additional 5k to 10k if ever in need ng blood kasi scheduled CS ako. how much rate ni dra. syki young sayo?

[JAZRINA]

@jaimeko - yung package na sinabi ni OB sa makati med 60k for normal and 80k for CS for semi-private room. Sa St. Lukes Global naman wala daw kasi package dun for normal sa first born, meron daw CS - 105k daw. Iniisip ko pa if package ba kukunin ko kasi alam ko kapag package less na yung mga philhealth dun at SSS. Baka kung normal package less Philhealth and SSS eh pareho lang sa package nila kalabasan. Isipin ko muna at compute compute muna. hehe

Hi! My EDD is on August 11 based on my latest Ultrasound. How much is their package? Would it be cheaper if I apply for a greencard. This is my first time to give birth kaya wala talaga ako alam. Also, what do I need to buy before I give birth? i really want na makatipid kasi sana as much as possible. My OB is Dr. Cynthia Del Rosario.

Hi Sis alessandrea,

Greencard is cheaper, ive talked to another Gtalker who availed of it last December and roughly ang bill nya is 27k lang, im not sure if kasama na yung philhelath nya dun though

[alessandrea]

Hi clariego!

Thanks so much! I'll probably go to MMC today and try to get the requirements. I read somewhere that I need go to social services tabi yata ng burger king ba yun.

sa Building 3 siya sis 2nd floor 

[alessandrea]

Thanks so much for the information clariego!

I went there and I was advised to secure a cert na my HMO does include maternity benefits tapos endorsement from my current OB. Hopefully, I'll be able to secure it asap. Im on my 32nd week na kasi e.

Hello, MMC din ako nagpapacheck up and since ok ang medicard, so far wala akong binabayaran sa consultation; lab fees lang.

ang concern namin is the cost ng panganganak. matagal pa naman since Dec pa due ko. My OB is Dra. Gozon-Francisco.

Sis same tyo ng ob. Magkano rate nya sayo sis? Thanks

[jasmine3689]

Hi,my ob din is Dra.Liza Gozon-Francisco pero di ko pa din naaask if nagpapackage ba sya.every checkup ko kasi nahihiya ako itanong.hays.meron kayang nakakaalam dto?

Sis balik ko sa kanya this july 15 pa at itatanong kona talaga. Sayang ang package ng mmc e malaki din matitipid.

[joannevargas30]

Hi sis,natanong ko na sa kanya, sched ko na kasi cs this july 8 sa kanya,she said maghanda daw ng 150k.hindi daw siya nagpapackage sis kasi dahil daw sa mga medicines na binibigay.baka meron siyang prescribed medicines talaga.sa medicine lang yung reason na sinabi niya bakit di siya nagpapackage.

[mysecretself]

Hello, mga sis! May idea ba kayo kung anong range ng mga PF ng ob, anaesthesiologist, at pedia sa makati med?  Covered kahit papano ng HMO ko yung delivery, kaya lang may cap yung PF. 15,000 lang. So malamang, kami magshoshoulder ng excess. Wala kasi akong idea kung how much pa yung kelangang iprepare. Sa ob, ang alam ko nasa 40-60k. Anes at pedia kaya?

Thanks sis! Due mona pla ngaun. Goodluck sis! Anyone knows how much naman ang pf ni dr syki young? I have heard alot of good news from her and cheaper din daw sya. Is it true? Magkano kya rate nya?

[JAZRINA]

@jasmine3869 - sis parang may nagpost na dito ng rate nya. Not sure though kung sa St. Lukes thread yun.

Any patient of Dr. Margaret Limson? Sya may package daw 58k for normal and 80k for CS sa makati med. Kaso wala akong makitang review kung pro-natural birthing method ba sya. I want to give birth via NSD without epidural sana and I need to find an OB na supportive sa ganoon method.

[mysecretself]

@jasmine3689 ako, ob ko siya. quote nya sa kin (if without hmo) is 120k nsd semi-private nsd, 150k small private nsd. di nya nabanggit yung cs. since may hmo ako, mukhang hindi na magapply 'to sa kin. baka regular rates na.

[jasmine3689]

^iba iba pala rate nya sis noh. Kc sa isa nating ka sis e 150k cs na yun. Tapos yung quote nya sayo na nsd is 120k, parang ang mahal ng singil nya.

[mysecretself]

^mahal ba, sis? kahit all-in na kasama mga pf?

[jasmine3689]

120-150k NSD is expensive na lalo na for makati med. Sa asian ganyan range ng nsd nila kc much newer and equipments nila mas maganda.

[jasmine3689]

Hi jasmine3689 I am soon to give birth too, we're planning to get a package from MMC (semi-private) ang laki kasi ng difference ng semi to small private halos 2x ang cost. Anyway, nag inquire kami with MMC then during my check up sa OB ko ask din ako, same lang sila ng give na price (57kplus).

Sis yung ob mo nakapackage yung rates nya sa mmc? Sino ob mo sis? Thanks

[shyla_c]

Yes sis nakasama na sa package yun docs fee ko. She's not from MMC affiliate lang sya pero same rate give nya sa akin. if you want her contact details pm me na lang.

@Dacian, yes naka room-in right after ng mga necessary tests pagka panganak si baby. Nandun sya with me sa room. Hindi sya nawala sa paningin ko hehe. And even kung may kailangan tests na ilalabas sya may isasamang relative. Natuwa ako on that policy.

[JAZRINA]

@shyla_c - sis, ok naman ang experience mo kahit na nakapackage ka? comfortable naman? 58k lang binayaran mo - all in na? Salamat.
