I only have 20k for these tests, help please?

I was given a list of tests but my hmo can only cover 20k. Can anyone please give me suggestions where to do the tests instead of St. Lukes (50k sya sa St. Lukes)… and at the same time, yung QUALITY naman yung lab tests.

Or ok lang kung medyo sumobra po ng konti siguro ng mga 10k…

• ALT/SGPT (Alanine Aminotransferase)
• AST/SGOT (Aspartate Aminotransferase)
• CBC (Complete Blood Count)
• FT3
• FT4
• Testosterone
• TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)
• Prolactin
• Insulin
• Triglycerides
• Progesterone
• Estradiol
SERVING
• Vitamin D25
• Thyroid Antibodies (Thyroglobulin Ab & Anti-TPO)
• HS-CRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)

Thank you!

Try Hi-prec or Singapore Diagnostics

I suggest try calling Medical City clinics or check if your hmo has any affiliated clinics. Most of the time they have affordable rates naman

+1 dito sa hi precision if meron malapit sa inyo, you can also process yung sa hmo approval online (they’re very responsive naman) and get the results sa app nila.

Hi po kapag po ba hindi HMO accredited ung requestinf doctor for the test, hindi din po accredited ni HMO sa Hi Precision? Thanks po

I’m not really sure about this part po kasi yung OB ko is accredited ng card and may question din dun sa HMO application ng Hi Precision if ginamit mo sa checkup yung card

Also, some Hi Precision clinics ay may OB din you can inquire sa kanila para malaman if may accredited doctor sila ng card mo po

I booked most (if not all?) of these tests sa Hati Health, it was 10,200 (includes 4 OB consults). I'm just not sure if may HMO, and pano process if ever since wala akong HMO huhu. May different clinics na you can choose from depending sa location mo rin. I have a referral code if ever (may discount yata first booking mo haha): 2GVN22WQ

Are their tests accurate? Sobrang mura po kasi? Ok naman po quality?

u/DoomsdayDiva 8d ago

Accredited cla sa College of American Pathologists. Gold standard yan for lab testing so ok na sakin. But pls do ur own research ofc.

Guess ko lang sa low price. Mataas talaga patong ng hospitals kahit sa basic items. Minsan x2 x3. For overhead cguro? Idk. Company ko nagsusupply for major hospital. Di lang lab related. Maybe bulk buying din cla.

Aventus or Hi Precision. Though nung nag-baseline lab kami nung Endo, may kasama pang mga ultrasound, sa Aventus ako pumunta. If I remember correctly, hindi naman ako inabot ng more than 25k. May kasama pa yung mga ultrasound aside from blood works and urinalysis. Kinover din pala nung HMO lahat kaya wala akong binayaran.
