Which hospitals in Mindanao accept PhilHealth Z Benefits?
Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC) in Davao City covers the most, with 20 Z packages. Davao Doctors Hospital, Davao Regional Medical Center in Tagum, and partner hospitals in General Santos, Cotabato City, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, Butuan and Surigao cover the rest.
What is a PhilHealth Z Benefit?
It’s PhilHealth’s bigger package for serious illnesses. It covers the whole treatment plan, not just one hospital stay.
Here’s how much some of them pay:
Breast cancer: up to ₱1.4M
Childhood leukemia: ₱500K
Colon and re**al cancer: ₱150K to ₱400K
Cervical cancer: ₱175K
Prostate cancer: ₱100K
Also covered: heart bypass, heart valve surgery, kidney transplant, home dialysis, and care for premature babies
The catch: a Z Benefit only works at a hospital with a PhilHealth Z contract. Anywhere else, you get the regular coverage, which is much smaller.
Swipe to find which hospitals near you cover each illness.
Before your treatment starts, ask the hospital for its Z Benefits Coordinator and get approved first.
Even with a Z Benefit, some costs are still yours: your income while you recover, medicine at home, transport, and your caregiver’s food.
