It involves the Basic 5 tests, covered in detail below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nowserving.ph\/services\/pre-employment-medical-clearance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book your pre-employment medical clearance on NowServing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> once you know which list your employer wants.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Basic 5: Test List<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s what each of the five tests actually checks, and why employers ask for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Complete Blood Count<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CBC test counts your red cells, white cells and platelets. It doesn&#8217;t name a disease on its own. If a number comes back outside the normal range, the doctor reading your results will explain it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Routine Urinalysis<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lab checks your urine for sugar, protein, blood and white cells. Anything flagged is something to go over with the doctor who reads your results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nowserving.ph\/services\/urinalysis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book a urinalysis with a partner lab on NowServing<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you&#8217;d rather schedule this test on its own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fecalysis<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stool exam looks mainly for intestinal parasites and their eggs. It&#8217;s the one people forget to prepare for, and it&#8217;s the item most often left off even though every clinic includes it in the Basic 5. Its shelf life at city hall is also the shortest, which matters later.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Chest X-ray, PA View<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A posteroanterior film, meaning the beam runs back to front.

Nine clinic pages checked in August 2026 list the same five, with one clinic calling the fifth item a consultation instead of a physical exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How much does a pre-employment medical exam cost in the Philippines?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Published clinic prices in August 2026 run from a starting price of PHP 530 at TopHealth to PHP 775 at Exact Diagnostic Center, PHP 850 at Kaiser Medical Center, PHP 1,199 at SLU Sacred Heart in Baguio and PHP 1,299.81 at Palawan Coop Hospital for the Basic 5. Packages with a drug test or an ECG added run higher, up to PHP 1,750 at Asian Hospital. Confirm with the clinic before you go.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What is the difference between the Basic 5 and the 8 basic pre-employment medical examinations?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 8 basic is not the Basic 5 plus three extras. It is the DOH overseas-worker list from Bureau Circular No. 1, s. 1990, which names seven tests, and clinics practise it as eight by adding a dental exam. Blood typing, dental and the psychometric exam are what separate it from the Basic 5.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Do I need to fast before a pre-employment medical exam?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Basic 5 has no fasting blood sugar or lipid test in it, which is the usual reason a lab asks you to fast. No published Basic 5 package requires fasting. If your employer added FBS or a lipid panel, ask the clinic when you book.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How long is a pre-employment medical exam valid?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It depends on your employer and on whether the job is local or overseas.

The &#8220;8 basic&#8221; overseas list, the LGU health card, and add-ons like a drug test or ECG are separate requirements that depend on where you&#8217;re applying and what the job needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confirm which list your employer means, check the clinic&#8217;s price against what&#8217;s published here, and know what your employer needs before you book your exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hiring several people at once? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nowserving.ph\/corporate\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talk to NowServing&#8217;s corporate team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> about arranging pre-employment exams for your new hires.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nowexpress.ph\/collections\/diagnostics-packages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit NowExpress to book your pre-employment medical exam today!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is included in the Basic 5 pre-employment medical exam?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The Basic 5 is a complete blood count, a routine urinalysis, a fecalysis, a chest x-ray, and a physical exam.
