For Payment Scheme, Refund Policy, Exclusions and PhilHealth see the images below(you may click the images to enlarge them):
Now for those who want to use a private room, of course you can't avail the packages if that's your choice, for uncomplicated NSD and CS deliveries the estimated costs would be as follows(this is a part of an email I received from SLMC Customer Relations as of June 02, 2011 so you better call SLMC or email them for updated rates):
NSD = Php40,000-Php75,000.00(2-3 days hospitalization)
CS = Php70,000-Php100,000.00(4-5 days hospitalization)
These rates includes: approximate delivery, recovery, and nursery room charges, basic medicines and supplies used in the delivery room and room charges for a Regular Private Room.
As professional fees (OB-Gyne, Pedia, Anesthesiologist) vary, it would be best to discuss this directly with your attending physician.
Roughly, for NSD, the OB-Gyne will charge anywhere from 25-50 thousand pesos depending on the circumstances. The Anesthesiologist will charge around 40% of the OB's bill and the Pediatrician will charge around 5-10 thousand. For CS, the OB will charge around 70-120 thousand, the Anesthesiologist will charge around 40% of the OB's bill, and the Pedia charges around 10-20 thousand.
Here are some of the possible rooms you can avail from SLMC-GC:
 |
| Room Rates and Amenities as of January 1, 2012 |
Here are some of the rooms available at the 8th Floor (Maternity Unit):
Regular Private
Regular Private rooms has:
- 4ft refrigerator
- wall mounted flat screen TV
- daybed
- overbed table
- patient controlled bed
- wall mounted BP apparatus
- bedside table
- telephone
- closet
- safety deposit box
 |
| Regular Private Room (Php3,500.00) |
 |
| Regular Private Room - T&B |
Deluxe Private
This is the cheapest birthing room in SLMC-GC. Amenities here are much like the Regular Private room except that it's bigger and fancier and it has a pantry area, a couple of chairs, birthing equipments, and an infant radiant warmer (lower right-hand side pic beside the patient bed).
 |
| Birthing Room: Deluxe Private (Php8,000.00) |
 |
| Birthing Room: Deluxe Private - T&B |
Executive Private
This birthing room is a bit bigger (and fancier ^_^) than the Deluxe Private. I forgot if this one has a microwave oven provided in the pantry but surely this room has a Lazy Boy chair. The room's window overlooks a Chinese Garden.
 |
| Birthing Room: Executive Private (Php9,000.00) |
Deluxe Suite
This is the biggest of the birthing rooms available in SLMC-GC. The pantry and receiving area are separated from the patient's room. This has a microwave oven, a refrigerator, a flat screen TV and a set of desktop computer (I wasn't able to take a pic of the PC but it's located inside the patient's room). The best thing in this room is that the T&B is spacious and it has a birthing pool (which is very useful for those who prefer natural childbirth). The window at the patient's room overlooks a Chinese Garden.
 |
| Birthing Room: Deluxe Suite (Php12,000.00) |
At the 8th floor Maternity Unit there is also a common pantry, located near the Nurse Station, where there's a microwave oven and a hot/cold water dispenser.
