Chong Hua Hospital Opdc (Out Patient Department Clinic)

[United Army]

A few weeks ago I took my step daughter to the ER at Chong Hua Hospital, the ER staff said that the ER was for admission only and referred us to their OPDC (Out Patient Department Clinic). This was on Friday afternoon. Oh...something new I guess. That OPDC cost me only 100P and the care given was very good I must say. The doctor that saw my step daughter was a resident and after his work up it was checked by a staff physician.

We first went to an ENT doctor but he was on vacation and it would of cost us 500P. This was my first time using the OPD at Chong Hua, and it was well worth it.

Yes they are excellent and considered the best hospital on the island of Cebu ..... or so I have read ..... I have personally only used Cebu Doctors Hospital on Osmena near the capital ..... excellent and cheep services .... had a CT scan .... blood work and doctors treatment for kidney stones there 4 years ago .... I highly recommend them ..... both of these hospitals are high tech when it comes to procedures here in the Philippines .... IMHO

Chong Hua Hospital Cebu City is an outstanding hospital the best hospital outside of Manila. My wife's little sister worked there as an RN for about a year.

Unbelievable price! I own my own business and the premium is $490 a month for medical insurance. That's around P20,000. Every visit to the doctor is a co-pay of $25 or another P1,000. Every service, for example, an MRI or surgery is a co-pay system up to a maximum of $2,500 (P100,000) a year. Yet I feel fortunate to be able to afford medical insurance. The waiting rooms use to be filled. After the 2008 economic collapse, there might two or three persons ahead of me. Membership dramatically dropped. Many small companies were eliminating medical coverage as a benefit to cut costs.

There is a bit of a hustle going on. I went for a routine eye exam and the clerk was trying to schedule another appointment a year later. This was before I even saw the eye doctor! The nurse schedules my routine visits every 90 days. Is it because I am getting old or is it the co-pay?

Yes unbelievable price 100P is about $2.39 !!! Routine visits every 90days?? never heard of that before, and yes I think its your co-pay.

I am a cancer survivor. Next series of tests in September is my annual Upper & Lower GI. The preparation is lots of fun. It includes drinking one gallon of laxative.

I also am a cancer survivor. Cancer free for a bit over 2 years now. Very fortunate to have been detected very early and be the type of cancer for which surgery can be a 100% cure.

Yeah... I hate prep for tests like that... It will be worth it when you get the news after the test that you are still cancer free. :)

Wow, this must be the cancer club. Yes, I'm also a cancer survivor (Left Kidney). Praise God I'm still alive.
