Maternity Packages in Cebu (Advantages & Disadvantages)

[jheenee7]

---

I just enrolled in Chong Hua Hospital Mandaue's OB-Package Deal. First is you have to go to the SOCIAL SERVICES desk inside the Admission office for the application and orientation schedule which is every Monday to Friday at 8AM to 5PM. You will be asked to fill-out some forms if have already decided to enroll.
Package for NORMAL in LOW RISK or WITHOUT COMPLICATION:
* P8,000 if you can donate 1 unit of BLOOD (any type) and if you have Philhealth
* P5,500 if you can donate 2 units of BLOOD (any type) and if you have Philhealth
For those without Philhealth but would deliver normally without complications, you can still enroll & pay the following:
* P11,000 plus 1 unit of BLOOD (any type)
* P 8,500 plus 2 units of BLOOD (any type)

In case you would go for a Caesarean section, you are required to pay P20,000. For high-risk or with complications, P20,000. For preterm/ pre-mature delivery, a partial payment of P20,000 will be required upon admission. And in case the baby will be admitted at the NICU, estimated expenses is P15,000 to P20,000 DAILY. Also, accommodation for all packages whether normal or caesarean is at the OB WARD where in 2 days is at 50% discount. According to my friend who was admitted there before, their ward rooms are spacious and clean with airconditioner with only 3 to 4 patients per ward.

The said amount/s can be paid thru installment every prenatal visit. But since I am already 26 weeks pregnant when I enrolled last July 8, I was asked to pay the whole amount of P8k for the normal delivery package. After filling-out the forms at the Social Services, I was asked to go to the OPD (Out-patient dept.). Just approach the nurse and they will hand you another set of forms to be filled-out. The nurse will also schedule when will be your first pre-natal visit with the list of labworks to be performed prior to your pre-natal visit. Proceed to the Laboratory with the list of labwork. Again you will asked to fill-out some forms and be given a charge slip with the amount to be paid. Then next to go to is the RADIOLOGY for your ultrasound. Same thing to do is fill-out some forms and secure a charge slip. You can either proceed to the BILLING dept to pay for the labwork, or pay it later when you already have the money for it. I paid a total of P2,390 (labwork) + P910 (pelvic ultrasound) with discounts already deducted. Without the discounts, you will be asked to pay P4,500+. So this is already a big savings for us. After paying, you can now have your labworks performed, except those that will require you to fast for 6 to 7 hours. Just ask the Laboratory staff for instructions to be sure.
I just had my first pre-natal visit this morning. The OB who checked me was very patient in answering my questions, she also gave me advises and explained my situation (i'm 40 y.o. w/ my first baby) thus I'm on the HIGH RISK side. The nurses were also approachable. The OPD opens at 8AM so go there early to get your priority number. Also, don't forget to bring your OB Package form with you. If you have any questions, you can call Social Services at (032) 233-8000 local 82211 - 82212.
Hope this helps.

Bati kaayo ang experience sa akong asawa anang maternity package. Yanu-yanuhon ra sa mga doctor. Bisag kinsa mokoot sa imoha. Unya murag way mga paki. Dugay pa gyud kaayo ka mahuman kung sched nimo kay daghan kaayo mong maghuwat labi na og sa Cebu Puericulture Center & Maternity House, Inc. (commonly known as Maternity). Magutman ka. Mas maayo pa mag private doctor ka. Naay uban OB barato ra pangayo. Kung makaya ra nimo mag private, go for it. Kung dili, antos nalang ka sa package. Sukol lang sa doctor kung di ka tarungon og tratar. Akong asawa di man gud hilig og gubot maong maglagot lang ko maminaw sa iyang i-istorya.

Hi, mangutana lang unta ku kung pila jud ang mabayran tanan2 inig.panganak sa Chong hua mandaue. Ni.enroll ko sa package (Php 5,500). Ang akung gusto mahebaw.an is pila tanan expenses apil na ang room, ug bayad ni baby if hopefully normal ra and delivery.

Hope naay motubag sa akung pangutana arun makapangeta kug sakto nga kwarta, im about to give birth this coming april 2018 and unfortunately gamai pajud akung natigum, naguol ko..

salamat..

hi... one of the requirements sa package is to have your prenatal check-ups with their resident OBs at least 5 times before ka ma admit/manganak sa Chong Hua. We also had insurance but not covered ang normal or CS delivery. Btw, I already gave birth to a premature baby (32 weeks). Admitted in the High Risk room, stayed there for 6 days kay wala na ko gipauli sa doctor after nag break akong water bag. Nagamit ra nako ang package maskin wala ko kaabot og 5 prenatal visits. Please do note that the package is only for the mother, walay labot ang sa imong baby. In the end, we paid a hefty amount kay nasulod sa NICU akong baby for almost 3 weeks, with 15k per day. Among nabayran tanan is more than 200k.

lahi ang bayad sa baby ug nimo maamzz... before walay bayad ilang doctor sa package pero karon ila giusab naa nay rate ang pedia doctor sa imong baby... pag-ampo lang nga okay imo panganak ug sakto sa bulan para gamay ra gyud imo magasto labina if package ka makatipid gyud ka maamzz...

ang payment depende gyud sa outcome nimo ug sa baby... if well baby ra .... more or less 20k below ang inyong duha... estimated rana.. pero if naay something sa baby.... expect dakox2 gyud...
