APE Package Prices Compared: Hospitals, Clinics and Home Service in the Philippines

Published APE package prices in the Philippines run from PHP 530 to PHP 81,800. The floor is TopHealth’s Basic 5, advertised as “start at only P530,” and Kaiser Medical Center’s Basic 5 at a fixed PHP 850.

At the top sits Makati Medical Center’s Comprehensive Abdominal A inpatient package at PHP 81,800, which includes endoscopy and colonoscopy with sedation, so it’s a screening-plus-procedure package rather than a check-up. Among plain check-ups, the highest published figure is MakatiMed’s HealthHub CVD Screening A at PHP 68,500. Every figure below was read off the provider’s own page or its own PDF on 10 August 2026.

Most price articles on this topic give you a category range and no provider name. That’s not usable. You can’t budget from “PHP 3,000 to PHP 8,000.”

So this one is organized the way you actually choose: by tier, by provider type, and by where you are. Where a provider doesn’t publish a price, we say that plainly instead of filling the gap.

What the Money Actually Buys

Package names are marketing. The test list is the product. Once you can read a test list, the price differences stop looking random.

The Basic 5, the National Floor

A physical exam, a complete blood count, routine urinalysis, fecalysis and a chest x-ray make up the Basic 5. Makati Medical Center, TopHealth and FriendlyCare all define it that way, near-identically.

The one real variation is the fifth slot: hospital and clinic versions use fecalysis, while Maxicare’s HMO version allows a random blood sugar or a cholesterol test instead. This is the tier most people mean when they say “medical” or “APE,” and it’s the tier that gets you a fit-to-work certificate.

Basic 5 Plus an ECG or a Chemistry Panel

The next step up adds a 12-lead ECG, a blood chemistry panel, or both. Kaiser sells Basic 5 plus ECG at PHP 1,300. Philippine Heart Center’s Basic Adult Package, at PHP 3,150, swaps in a fasting blood sugar and a lipid profile.

Same idea, different assembly. This is where most corporate APE programs sit.

The Comprehensive and Executive Tier

Above roughly PHP 7,000, the packages start looking alike across providers. They add:

• Extended chemistry panel: A broader blood workup than the Basic 5’s core tests.
• Cardiac workup: Usually an ECG paired with a treadmill stress test or imaging component.
• Whole abdomen ultrasound: Screens the abdominal organs as a group.
• Thyroid and metabolic markers: Tests such as TSH alongside blood sugar and lipid markers.
• Tumour markers: Blood tests used as an early screen for certain cancers.
• Sex-specific tests: A Pap smear or breast ultrasound for women, a PSA test for men.

At the top of this tier you’re also paying for consultations. SLU Sacred Heart’s executive package includes five specialist consults.

The Inpatient Tier

Inpatient packages put you in a private room for one or two days and bundle in meals, parking and professional fees, making them the most expensive tier on this list. Makati Medical Center’s Health Investment Inpatient A is PHP 26,600. Philippine Heart Center’s 24-hour Cardio-Pulmonary Exam is PHP 36,500 for men.

You’re buying convenience and pacing here as much as tests. Everything happens in one stay instead of three trips.

The Cheapest Legal Check-Up in the Philippines

People usually ask this question when a job or a permit needs a result by a date. Here’s the honest answer.

The Clinic Chain Floor

Kaiser Medical Center’s Package A at PHP 850 is the lowest fixed published price we found anywhere. TopHealth publishes PHP 530, but it’s written as a starting price, so treat it as a floor you may not actually get.

SLU Sacred Heart in Baguio prices the same five items at PHP 1,199 under a pre-employment label. A private tertiary hospital, for close to clinic money.

The Government Hospital Route

Philippine Heart Center publishes a Basic Pre-Employment Package at PHP 1,500 and a Mini-Adult Package at PHP 1,600. Both are real published prices at a government specialty hospital in Quezon City.

Bulacan Medical Center, a government provincial tertiary hospital in Malolos, publishes individual test rates rather than a package:

• CBC: PHP 150
• Urinalysis: PHP 170
• Fecalysis: PHP 50
• Chest PA: PHP 150

Get you urinalysis on NowServing today

The LGU Health Certificate Route

City health offices run the cheapest lab rates in the country. Quezon City charges PHP 40 for a stool exam and PHP 97 for sputum, while Baguio charges PHP 100 for stool and PHP 100 for a chest x-ray. Batangas City charges PHP 140 for a chest PA.

Take note: That route buys a health certificate for work or a sanitary permit, not an annual physical exam. Requirements differ by city, and even fecalysis validity varies, one month in Malabon and Baguio, three months in Quezon City, six months in Muntinlupa. If what you need is a fit-to-work clearance rather than a health check, our guide to the pre-employment medical clearance process covers that regime properly.

Provider	Package	Published price	Note
TopHealth	Basic 5 APE	“start at only P530”	A starting figure, not a fixed one
Kaiser Medical Center	Package A: Basic 5	PHP 850	Lowest fixed published price found
SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center	Pre-Employment Package	PHP 1,199	Basic 5 at a Baguio tertiary hospital
Philippine Heart Center	Basic Pre-Employment Package	PHP 1,500	CBC, urinalysis, chest x-ray PA
Philippine Heart Center	Mini-Adult Package (OP)	PHP 1,600	FBS and lipid profile only, not a Basic 5

Buying the Tests One by One Costs More Than the Bundle

Everyone assumes this. Almost nobody has done the arithmetic against a published list, because you need a provider that publishes both, and most don’t.

The Kaiser Arithmetic

As of 8 June 2026, Kaiser publishes an individual test list alongside its packages:

• Routine urinalysis: PHP 130
• Fecalysis: PHP 120
• CBC with platelet: PHP 320
• Chest x-ray: PHP 350

That’s PHP 920 for four items, against PHP 850 for Package A, which includes those four plus the consultation. So you pay PHP 70 more for the parts and you don’t get the consult. Small, but it settles the question with real numbers instead of a rule of thumb.

When Paying per Test Still Makes Sense

If your company already covered your chest x-ray last quarter, or you only need one test repeated, the à-la-carte list is the cheaper path. A repeat FBS at Kaiser is PHP 160 against PHP 850 for the whole package.

The same logic applies to the tests people buy on their own rather than in a package. We priced two of the common ones separately, the PSA test and a hormone panel, and in both cases it is worth checking whether the package you are considering already includes them before you pay twice. Buying the bundle wins when you need the full set, and it loses when you need one thing.

Provider	Item	Published price
Kaiser Medical Center	Routine urinalysis	PHP 130
Kaiser Medical Center	Fecalysis	PHP 120
Kaiser Medical Center	CBC with platelet	PHP 320
Kaiser Medical Center	Chest x-ray	PHP 350
Kaiser Medical Center	The four items above, bought separately	PHP 920
Kaiser Medical Center	Package A: Basic 5, bundled, consultation included	PHP 850
Kaiser Medical Center	12-lead ECG	PHP 450
Kaiser Medical Center	Fasting blood sugar	PHP 160
Kaiser Medical Center	Lipid profile panel	PHP 850
Kaiser Medical Center	HbA1c	PHP 550
Kaiser Medical Center	Whole abdomen ultrasound	PHP 2,500
Kaiser Medical Center	2D echo	PHP 3,000
Kaiser Medical Center	Pap smear with OB-Gyne	PHP 900, the facility’s published service price

Metro Manila Package Prices

Metro Manila has the deepest bench of published APE prices in the country, and three hospitals cover the full spread from entry to inpatient.

Makati Medical Center

MakatiMed publishes the most complete price list of any hospital we checked, thirteen packages with itemised inclusions. It’s also the only hospital whose list spans the entire market, from a PHP 4,200 Basic 5 to PHP 81,800.

Worth knowing before you compare: the PHP 81,800 package is not a check-up in the ordinary sense. It includes an EGD and a colonoscopy under sedation with gastroenterology and anaesthesia fees.

Check our Makati Medical Center doctor directory for your APE session

Philippine Heart Center

PHC is a government specialty hospital, and its outpatient packages are priced accordingly. The Hypertension Package is PHP 4,500 and the Diabetes Package is PHP 3,600, both built around a condition rather than a general screen.

Its inpatient packages are not cheap. The 24-hour Cardiovascular Check-up is PHP 40,500 for men and PHP 41,200 for women, room and professional fees included.

See the Philippine Heart Center doctor directory for your APE booking

Manila Doctors and Asian Hospital

Manila Doctors Hospital publishes four executive tiers, Diamond at PHP 30,000 down to Silver at PHP 21,850. The inclusions aren’t itemised on the page, so ask for the test list before you book.

Asian Hospital takes a different approach. Instead of executive packages, it publishes four Care on Demand wellness cards, from a PHP 1,800 Senior card to a PHP 12,000 heart screening card.

Cebu Package Prices

Outside Metro Manila, Cebu has the most complete published pricing, led by two hospitals with clear tier ladders.

Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital

CDUH publishes a full executive check-up ladder with letter codes, and it’s the clearest tier structure we found outside Metro Manila. A1 at PHP 7,490 is the entry rung, and it’s better value than it first looks: 19 lab tests plus an ECG and a chest x-ray.

Search snippets describe A1 as a six-test package, but the hospital’s own page lists 19, so trust the hospital page. The ladder also prices men and women differently, and not always in the same direction. C1 for men is PHP 30,210 while C2 for women is PHP 25,530, but at the A tier the female package is the cheaper one by PHP 188.

The Hospital at Maayo

Maayo in Mandaue publishes two tiers, PHP 6,000 and PHP 18,800. The PHP 6,000 Basic Executive Package includes a full chemistry panel, a 12-lead ECG, a chest PA, a post-consultation and a meal.

That’s the cheapest published package we found anywhere that includes both a chemistry panel and a consult.

Here’s the doctor directory on NowServing for Maayo Medical 

Provider	Package	Published price
The Hospital at Maayo	Basic Executive Package	PHP 6,000
Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital	ECU A1 Basic Health Check-up	PHP 7,490
Cebu Doctors’ University Hospital	ECU B2 Cardiovascular, female	PHP 11,560

Baguio, and the HMO Rate That Costs More Than Cash

SLU Sacred Heart in Baguio publishes both its regular and HMO rates side by side, which surfaces a finding worth knowing before you book.

What the SLU Sacred Heart Executive Check-Up Includes

SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center publishes its packages in its own brochure. The executive check-up is a two-day stay that includes:

• Chemistry panel
• HbA1c
• Lipids
• 2D echo
• Chest x-ray
• Whole abdomen ultrasound
• Thyroid tests
• Tumour markers
• Five specialist consults

Its GI Wellness package, an outpatient tier, is PHP 15,000 at the regular rate.

The HMO Rate Runs Higher, on Both Executive Packages

This is the finding most people won’t expect: on both executive packages where SLU prints two rates, the HMO rate is the higher one. The male package is PHP 40,500 regular and PHP 42,500 HMO, and the female package is PHP 38,000 regular and PHP 41,000 HMO.

That’s PHP 2,000 and PHP 3,000 more for arriving with a card. We can’t speak to the reason, and it may reflect billing and collection terms rather than the care itself, but the practical point stands either way: don’t assume your HMO rate is the lower one, so ask for both before you book.

Provider	Package	Regular rate	HMO rate
SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center	Pre-Employment Package	PHP 1,199	not published
SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center	GI Wellness, OPD	PHP 15,000	not published
SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center	Executive Check-up, female	PHP 38,000	PHP 41,000
SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center	Executive Check-up, male	PHP 40,500	PHP 42,500

Home Service and Onsite APE

Not every APE happens at a facility. Two providers publish prices for check-ups that come to you instead.

AIDE

Home service phlebotomy across NCR is AIDE’s model, and it publishes ranges rather than fixed prices. The Basic Health Package with 14 tests is PHP 5,000 to PHP 5,700, while the General Health Package with 24 tests runs PHP 9,000 to PHP 9,700.

Note what’s missing from both: there’s no chest x-ray, because a home visit can’t do one. So a home package isn’t a swap for a Basic 5, it’s a different product.

TopHealth’s Mobile Clinic

The lowest APE figure in this article, “start at only P530,” comes from TopHealth, which runs its own mobile clinic for onsite company APEs. Add-ons are quoted separately, so the PHP 530 is a floor.

If you’re arranging check-ups for a whole team rather than for yourself, pricing works differently and usually gets negotiated per head.

The One HMO Package With a Published APE Price

Most HMOs don’t publish what an APE costs under their plans, but one prepaid card does.

Maxicare PRIMA Access

A prepaid card at PHP 9,999 a year, PRIMA Access, includes an annual physical exam described as a Basic 5, plus unlimited consults, 24 Set A lab tests and two chest x-rays. The APE can only be taken at Maxicare Clinics.

It’s the only HMO product we could find that publishes an itemised APE with a price. We could not source APE coverage details from Intellicare, PhilCare, Medicard or Cocolife, so we’re not going to guess at it.

Provider	Package	Published price	Type
TopHealth	Basic 5 APE	“start at only P530”	Clinic chain and onsite mobile clinic
Kaiser Medical Center	Package A: Basic 5	PHP 850	Clinic chain, six branches
Kaiser Medical Center	Package B: Basic 5 + drug test	PHP 1,160	Clinic chain
Kaiser Medical Center	Package C: Basic 5 + ECG	PHP 1,300	Clinic chain
AIDE	Pre-Employment Package	PHP 4,100 to PHP 4,800	Home service, NCR
AIDE	Basic Health Package, 14 tests	PHP 5,000 to PHP 5,700	Home service, NCR
AIDE	General Health Package, 24 tests	PHP 9,000 to PHP 9,700	Home service, NCR
Maxicare	PRIMA Access by MaxiHealth	PHP 9,999 per year	HMO prepaid card with APE bundled

PhilHealth Konsulta Is Not an APE Benefit

This one costs people real money, because they assume they’re covered and skip budgeting for it.

The 15 Tests, and the Words Around Them

Annex B of PhilHealth Circular 2024-0013 lists 15 covered laboratory and diagnostic tests:

• CBC with platelet count
• Lipid profile
• Fasting blood sugar (FBS)
• Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
• HbA1c
• Creatinine
• Chest x-ray
• Sputum microscopy
• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Mammogram
• Ultrasound, limited to the upper abdomen, pelvic area and breast
• Urinalysis
• Pap smear
• Fecalysis
• Fecal occult blood test

The wording around that list is what matters. They’re covered “as needed as part of case management” by your PhilHealth Konsulta primary care team, at the provider you registered with.

That’s clinical discretion, not a voucher. Your Konsulta doctor orders what your situation calls for. You can’t walk in and claim the list as an annual physical.

PhilHealth Pays the Provider PHP 1,700 a Year per Member

Annex I sets the maximum per capita amount at PHP 1,700 per member per year for government and private Konsulta providers alike, with payment released to providers in two tranches. That figure is paid to the provider, not to you, and it covers primary care for the year as a capitated primary care package.

The Same Hospital Can Publish Two Prices at the Same Time

Price lists don’t always get taken down when they’re replaced, and MakatiMed is a clear example of what that looks like.

MakatiMed’s January 2024 PDF Against Its March 2026 Page

While checking prices we found two live MakatiMed price lists on the hospital’s own domain. The HTML page is marked “Effective March 1, 2026.” A PDF still sitting under a 2024 uploads folder is marked “Effective January 1, 2024.”

They disagree because they’re two years apart. Nothing improper is happening here; an old file simply stayed online, which happens on nearly every large site. The gap is about 5% across two years, useful to know if you’re budgeting from a figure someone forwarded you.

Ask for the Effectivity Date

The practical habit: whatever price list you’re handed, sa PDF man o sa website, look for the effectivity date before you plan around it. If there isn’t one, ask.

Provider and package	January 2024 PDF	March 2026 page
Makati Medical Center, Health Investment Essentials (Basic 5)	PHP 4,000	PHP 4,200
Makati Medical Center, HealthHub Executive Package OUP	PHP 19,900	PHP 20,900
Makati Medical Center, Health Investment Inpatient A	PHP 25,300	PHP 26,600

The Big Names That Publish No Price at All

Not every hospital plays by the same rules. Several well-known names simply don’t list a number.

What They Publish Instead

Several of the hospitals and labs people ask about most don’t put a number on a page. This is a fact about the market rather than a criticism, and it’s useful to know before you spend an afternoon looking.

• St. Luke’s Medical Center: Lists five wellness package names with no prices attached.
• The Medical City: Its wellness pages returned 404 and 500 errors when we fetched them on 10 August 2026.
• Hi-Precision Diagnostics: Publishes the full test composition of every package, Routine through Executive Health Care, with no prices anywhere.
• Healthway QualiMed: Its pages blocked our automated fetch, an ordinary anti-bot setting.
• Cardinal Santos: Returned an empty archive page.

For all of them the price comes from an inquiry, so budget a phone call. Ask for the effectivity date on whatever they send. If you would rather start from facilities that publish what they do, our hospital directory is a shorter route.

The Figures You Will See Quoted That No Provider Published

Search results surface plenty of check-up prices that never actually came from the provider. Here’s where those numbers break down.

The “Up to PHP 120,000” St. Luke’s Number

You’ll see a PHP 25,000 to PHP 120,000 range for St. Luke’s executive check-ups repeated across the web.

Same for the rest of the table below: these are aggregator claims, and in each case the provider does not publish the number itself. Three are worth naming specifically:

• Asian Hospital and Medical Center: The aggregator’s Starter through Advance 2 tiers contradict both its own separate article, which says Asian Hospital executive check-up prices require direct inquiry, and the hospital’s own site, which publishes only the four wellness cards. We’re leaving those numbers out of the table entirely rather than repeating them.
• Hi-Precision Diagnostics: Its figures exist nowhere on Hi-Precision’s own site.
• Cardinal Santos Medical Center: Its “from P23,000” figure is unsourced against the hospital’s own pages.

Provider claimed	Package claimed	Figure quoted by the aggregator	Primary source status
St. Luke’s Medical Center	Wellness Center ECU range	PHP 25,000 to PHP 120,000	Not published by St. Luke’s,  verifiable
Hi-Precision Diagnostics	Package 1 / 2 / 3	PHP 1,100 / PHP 2,150 / PHP 3,150	Not on any Hi-Precision page
Hi-Precision Diagnostics	Executive check-up	PHP 6,500 to PHP 12,500	Not on any Hi-Precision page
Cardinal Santos Medical Center	Essential Wellness	“From P23,000”	Unsourced against the hospital’s own site
The Medical City	Executive packages	“up to P25,000+”	Wellness pages returned errors, unverifiable
Healthway QualiMed	APE and ECU	PHP 3,500 to PHP 5,000 APE, PHP 8,000 to PHP 25,000 ECU	Pages blocked our fetch, unverifiable
Asian Hospital and Medical Center	Starter, Basic, Intermediate, Advance 1 and 2	Withheld. The aggregator contradicts itself and the hospital’s own site	Do not use

Which Tier Is Actually for You

What you need tested is your doctor’s call, not ours. What follows is only about which price tier each package is built for.

First APE, Healthy, Under 35

The Basic 5 tier is what these packages are designed for, and it’s what most employers ask for. Kaiser at PHP 850, TopHealth from PHP 530, SLU Sacred Heart at PHP 1,199.

Paying PHP 20,000 for a first check-up in your twenties buys you tests aimed at risks the package assumes you have.

35 and Up, or Already Watching Blood Pressure and Sugar

This is where the ECG and chemistry tiers are aimed. Kaiser’s Basic 5 plus ECG at PHP 1,300, PHC’s Basic Adult at PHP 3,150, Maayo’s Basic Executive at PHP 6,000, CDUH’s A1 at PHP 7,490.

PHC’s condition-specific packages sit here too, Hypertension at PHP 4,500 and Diabetes at PHP 3,600, and they’re priced below most general screens.

Family History, or the Company Is Paying

The comprehensive and executive tiers add cardiac imaging, tumour markers and specialist consults, and the inpatient versions compress it all into one stay. MakatiMed’s Executive OUP at PHP 20,900, Manila Doctors’ Silver at PHP 21,850, SLU’s executive at PHP 38,000 and up.

If it’s a company program, most of the arithmetic changes anyway, since pricing usually gets negotiated directly between the employer and the provider.

How We Checked These Prices

Every peso figure in this article was read off the provider’s own page or its own PDF on 10 August 2026. No aggregator numbers were used except in the clearly labelled table above, and none of them were mixed into the primary tables.

Prices change, sometimes without the old page coming down. Confirm with the provider before you go, and ask for the effectivity date on the list they quote from.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an annual physical exam cost in the Philippines?

Published prices run from PHP 530 to PHP 81,800. TopHealth advertises a Basic 5 APE that starts at PHP 530, and Kaiser Medical Center sells a fixed Basic 5 at PHP 850. At the top, Makati Medical Center’s Comprehensive Abdominal An inpatient package is PHP 81,800, which includes endoscopy and colonoscopy, while the highest pure check-up is MakatiMed’s HealthHub CVD Screening A at PHP 68,500.

What tests are in the Basic 5?

A physical exam, a complete blood count, routine urinalysis, fecalysis and a chest x-ray. Makati Medical Center, TopHealth and FriendlyCare all define it that way. Maxicare’s version swaps the fecalysis slot for either a random blood sugar or a cholesterol test.

What is the cheapest APE package with a published price?

Kaiser Medical Center’s Package A at PHP 850 is the lowest fixed price we found on a provider’s own page. TopHealth publishes a lower figure, PHP 530, but it is written as a starting price rather than a fixed one.

How much is an executive check-up in the Philippines?

Like for like, published executive packages run from PHP 6,000 at The Hospital at Maayo in Mandaue to PHP 42,500 for SLU Sacred Heart’s male executive check-up at its HMO rate. Makati Medical Center’s HealthHub Executive Package is PHP 20,900 outpatient, and Manila Doctors Hospital’s Diamond tier is PHP 30,000.

Does PhilHealth cover an annual physical exam?

Not as an APE benefit. PhilHealth Konsulta covers 15 listed tests, but Annex B of Circular 2024-0013 words it as ‘as needed as part of case management’ by your registered primary care team, and the provider is paid a capitated PHP 1,700 per member per year for that care. No PhilHealth page we could reach says a standalone annual physical or executive check-up is reimbursable.

Is the HMO rate always lower than the cash rate?

No. SLU Sacred Heart Medical Center in Baguio publishes an HMO rate above its regular rate on both of its executive check-up packages: the male package is PHP 40,500 regular and PHP 42,500 HMO, and the female package is PHP 38,000 regular and PHP 41,000 HMO.

Why do some hospitals not publish check-up prices?

We can’t speak to their reasons, only report what is published: St. Luke’s Medical Center lists five package names with no prices, and The Medical City’s wellness pages returned errors when we fetched them. Hi-Precision Diagnostics publishes the full test composition of every package with no prices attached. In each case the price comes from an inquiry rather than a page.

Is it cheaper to buy the tests separately or as a package?

The package, in the one case where a provider publishes both. Kaiser’s own price list puts routine urinalysis at PHP 130, fecalysis at PHP 120, CBC with platelet at PHP 320 and chest x-ray at PHP 350, which is PHP 920 for four items. Its bundled Package A is PHP 850 and includes the consultation.

Do home service APE packages cost more?

The published ones do. AIDE’s Basic Health Package is PHP 5,000 to PHP 5,700 for 14 tests drawn at your home in NCR, against PHP 850 for Kaiser’s five-item Basic 5 at a branch, and its General Health Package with 24 tests runs PHP 9,000 to PHP 9,700.

Conclusion

Published APE prices in the Philippines span a wide range, from Kaiser’s PHP 850 Basic 5 to MakatiMed’s PHP 81,800 inpatient package, and the difference almost always comes down to the test list, not the marketing name. Match the tier to what you actually need: a Basic 5 for a first check-up or a work requirement, an ECG or chemistry add-on once you’re past 35, and a comprehensive or executive package when family history or a company budget calls for it.
