INFOGRAPHIC: The cost of outpatient procedures in PH

Here’s a quick look at the different services and costs behind common outpatient procedures

MANILA, Philippines – How much of your budget goes into medical expenses?

Aside from allocating a budget for serious illnesses, households should also prepare for the cost of outpatient treatments, such as medical procedures that don’t require a 24-hour stay in the hospital. These are not as expensive as surgical procedures or getting confined, but if you need to do them several times a year, the bills will definitely pile up.

What’s the best way to keep these costs at bay? Get a medical insurance plan that covers outpatient treatment. A good plan can help cover expenses such as doctor’s fees, medicines and diagnostic tests.
