^^hindi pare-parehas ang coverage ng HMO kahit same pa kayo ng HMO provider. depende sa plan yan na kinuha mo or ng company na nagcover sa iyo.

Yes sis depende sa company. Better check with your hr or clinic muna. Pero mostly daw talaga di covered eh sa dati kong company consultations lang covered.

Hmmm yeah tama depends naman talaga sa plan medjo naamazed lang ako na as in lahat kinover. Sa hubby ko may parang 40k nga na ceiling for CS tapos 20k sa NSD. CS na kasi ako sa una kong baby prior to getting married.

Very nice, ang galing ha atleast walang masyadong stress for you :)

Same with me, QC is just 5 to 10 mins away from where I live.  It's just that when my [textspeak!] was checked in, I was really disappointed with his room compared to medical city and cardinal.  The microwave and fax were not working, not that those are needed.  And the restroom needs renovation :) Lapit na ko mag give birth and I don't have insurance.  Magkano kaya average for CS?

I was quoted 160k. Another friend was quoted 220k. I guess it would depend on how much your ob's pf is.

ang liit nga ng HRPU. Oh well but global is just waaay too inconvenient right now.

^^ sis nicoletta, gave birth via CS less than two months ago. I think we paid around P155k for everything, net of Philhealth. HRPU during labor, regular private room for 2 days.

Re rooms: you can do an ocular now before ka manganak. Ok naman naging room ko, malinis and maayos. On the day I was admitted, husband checked na agad the available rooms to reserve. Ayaw kasi namin ng small private room kasi parang wala na kami magalawan since malalaking tao kami ni hubby, hehe.. buti me available na regular private.

Mga sis gaano kaya kalaki difference ng QC and Global sa CS delivery? Medjo turned off na ako talaga sa Asian so baka lumipat ako ng St. Lukes Global nalang. Totoo bang may package ek ek sa St. Lukes? Thanks sa mga response! :)

Salamat mga sis! Actually 2nd baby ko na nga, my first one was out of wedlock and I got married last Dec and 6 weeks preggy palang naman ako now. Sa Asian ako nagpapacheck up kasi malapit samin, ang range ng CS doon 170-220k sa OB ko ha Im not sure sa ibang OB. Parang mas interested na ako sa ST. Lukes kahit medjo malayo. Makikita ko ba sa website ang details or I can call ba to check yung mga conditions etc?

I'm planning to give birth sa St. Luke's QC. Since hindi applicable ang package nila sa mga first born babies, I asked na my OB magkano need ko iprepare. According to her, NSD would range around 70-80k while CS nasa 140-150k. Pero just to be sure, better na magpasobra na tayo kesa kapusin especially rough estimate lang ang mga rates na yun and without complications pa.

Nag-ocular check din kami sa mga kwarto. Yung semi private room nila, pang dalawang patient. Curtain lang ang harang, then may common CR and walang TV ata. I forgot the rates pero yung quote sakin ng OB ko na rate alam ko pang regular private na siya. Yung regular private, may TV, may ref may sariling CR with hot and cold shower and solo mo lang ang room.
They also have this what they call the birthing room. It's 15k a night. malaki siya, may CR din, may receiving area, may dining area pa nga ata and parang kitchen. May computer din with internet sa loob. Pero sa room na yun, sama sama na. dun ka na magle-labor, dun ka na rin manganganak and pwedeng kasama mo ang buong pamilya mo habang nanganganak ka. May divider lang na maghaharang sa bed mo at sa area nila para naman ka masyadong exposed.

Aside from that, we also checked their labor room. 1,5k a day siya. Dun ka magle-labor pero bawal ang may kasama. may Nurse lang at residente na iikot sa inyo to check. may curtain lang na naghihiwalay sayo from other patients. wala rin atang TV. medyo malungkot pero kung matapang ka naman pwede na yung labor room para cheaper.

They also have this High Risk Pregnancy Unit. Dito nagle-labor yung mga high risk ang pregnancy nila. 5,5k a day naman dito. Pwede rin daw ito kahit di high risk ang pregnancy mo. Preferred din kasi ito ng ibang mommies kasi may solo room ka [maliit lang] and pwedeng may isang kasama habang nagle-labor. so pwede mong kasama si hubby. May TV rin dito, and may sarili kang machine na nakakabit sa tyan mo to monitor your baby. Palalabasin lang daw si hubby pag tuturukan ka na ng epidural. May mga nurses and resident doctors din na umiikot dito. Sabi sakin nung nagtour samin, if dadating daw ako sa hospital na nasa around 8cm na ko, wag na raw ako kumuha ng HRPU kasi sayang lang dahil dadalhin na rin naman daw ako agad sa delivery room pag ganun.

According to my OB, allowed din daw si hubby sa delivery room. Pwede pa nga raw na siya ang sumalo kay baby and mag cut ng umbilical cord. They also practice the unang yakap and breastfeeding policy sa hospital. bawal magdala ng feeding bottles kasi nga they encourage breastfeeding. in case kinakailangan, meron din silang milk bank ng mga donated breastmilk. May lactation officer or nurse na iikot at magtuturo sa lahat ng mommies paano magbreastfeed ng tama. :)

Pwede naman tayo mamili ng mga rooms na gusto natin, kaso sabi nila pag mas mahal ang room na inavail mo, mas mataas din ang mga PF ng doktor kasi nakabase daw sa room rate ang PF nila. 

Try nyo rin mag-ocular to familiarize yourself sa area. very accommodating and friendly naman ang mga staff sa SLMC. :) 2nd Floor siya sa main building. :)

My OB quoted me 100k for CS package in St. Luke's Global. 2 in 1 room na daw yun. 2nd pregnancy ko na 'to, elective CS and as long as wala akong maging complications, okay daw. Pero natakot naman ako kasi may complication sa 1st delivery ko (my pregnancy was normal though), maagang nagpoop si baby sa loob ng tyan ko. Sana qualified pa din ako.

Sis reasonable na yan for CS. May I know sino OB mo?

^Dra. Agnes Estrella sis. My other options kasi are The Medical City and PGH. Ayaw ko na sa PGH ulit because my first baby died there. So I asked for her reco. Almost same price lang CS package niya sa SLMC-Global and TMC, pero mas okay daw  sa global kasi 2 in 1 room vs 5 in 1 ng TMC. Hoping na wala akong maging complications para mag-qualify ako sa package.

Hello mga sis. I'm 33 weeks along now. And I'm giving birth to my second baby at SLMC-QC. My OB is Dra. Prudence Aquino. She suggested that I avail of the maternity package (P60K for a 4-bed ward room and P65K for the 2-bed room). My plan is not to go straight to the hospital immediately but stay at home while I'm in labor. Since my husband and I have attended a birthing class, alam na rin ni husband more or less this time what to expect and what to do. Hindi kasi pala pwede ang kasama sa labor room sa hospital and I wanted him beside me to coach me or to help me deal with the painful contractions, if ever. We asked the billing department if pwede kami mag-avail ng HRPU (para kasama ko sya dun while I'm in labor) on top of the maternity package but it's not allowed. So there.
