Angiogram Price in the Philippines (2026): Heart, CT & Hospital Costs

Quick answer: Angiogram prices in the Philippines depend on whether you need a catheter-based coronary angiogram, a CT angiogram, or an angiogram of another blood vessel. For a coronary angiogram, UP–Philippine General Hospital (PGH) publishes a ₱20,185 cath-lab outpatient-pay rate, while selected private hospitals advertise diagnostic angiogram packages of approximately ₱55,000–₱80,500. Some hospitals also publish conditional cash-out prices after PhilHealth, such as ₱36,085 at De Los Santos Medical Center and ₱54,280 at Diliman Doctors Hospital. CT coronary angiogram pricing varies: published rates include ₱21,250 for the combined procedure and professional fees at Bicol Medical Center and ₱26,735 for the procedure charge at Chong Hua Hospital. None of these amounts should automatically be treated as the complete final hospital bill.

When it is used: An angiogram examines blood vessels to help identify narrowing, blockages, aneurysms or other vascular problems. A coronary angiogram is commonly recommended by a cardiologist when further evaluation of possible coronary artery disease is needed, including selected patients with chest pain, abnormal cardiac investigations or a heart attack. Angiograms can also examine blood vessels in the brain, lungs, abdomen and legs. Catheter coronary angiography may be followed by treatment during the same session, while a CT angiogram is an imaging examination that cannot itself open a blocked artery.

Angiogram Price in the Philippines

The biggest factor affecting the cost is the type of angiogram and whether the quoted amount is a standalone procedure fee or a hospital package.

These are observed published prices, not nationwide averages. A patient should not compare PGH’s cath-lab charge directly with an all-inclusive private package or a CT scan procedure price. The services, fees and clinical purposes are not identical.

Coronary Angiogram Prices at Philippine Hospitals

For someone told to undergo a heart angiogram, the most relevant procedure is usually catheter-based coronary angiography. Several Philippine hospitals publish useful price information.

Package inclusions and PhilHealth treatment differ substantially between hospitals.

UP–Philippine General Hospital

PGH publishes separate cardiac catheterization rates according to patient classification. Its official online rate schedule lists:

The most useful published price for a paying outpatient is ₱20,185. The lower ₱4,815 service rate is a separate patient-classification figure and should not be presented as a guaranteed angiogram price for all patients.

These amounts are listed under Coronary Angiogram (Cath Lab). PGH also lists other angiographic procedures under radiology, so patients must confirm the service their doctor actually requested.

The schedule does not establish that the ₱20,185 includes every consultation, medication, professional fee, catheter supply or admission charge.

De Los Santos Medical Center

De Los Santos Medical Center in Quezon City publishes separate outpatient and inpatient coronary angiogram packages.

This is a particularly useful example because the hospital shows both the closed package rate and an estimated patient cash-out after PhilHealth. Its published package inclusions cover cath-lab services, medical supplies, consumables, nursing and recovery care, and professional fees for the referring and interventional cardiologists.

For the inpatient option, the hospital lists two days of regular private room accommodation.

Important: The cash-out amounts depend on eligibility and the applicable PhilHealth benefit. Patients should not assume that everyone automatically qualifies for the same deduction.

The hospital also states that its packages cannot be combined with certain other government-mandated discounts and promotions. Ask billing how this condition applies to your circumstances.

Diliman Doctors Hospital

Diliman Doctors Hospital in Quezon City published a coronary angiogram offer dated January 28, 2026. Its advertised amount is: ₱54,280 net of PhilHealth. Because this figure is already described as net of PhilHealth, it should not be compared directly with the gross package price at another hospital.

The public announcement does not provide a full breakdown of room charges, supplies, medications and professional fees. Ask the hospital whether your case meets the conditions of the advertised amount and what additional services may increase the final bill.

Marikina Valley Medical Center

Marikina Valley Medical Center advertises an AngioCare coronary angiogram package starting at ₱55,000. The package page lists:

• Cardiac catheterization laboratory procedure
• One day of room accommodation
• Doctor’s professional fee
• Post-procedure care

This is a starting price and may not represent every patient’s final cost. The hospital separately advertises an angioplasty package starting at ₱275,000 for a one-stent procedure.

If your cardiologist believes angioplasty may be required, ask for the two cost scenarios before scheduling, when clinically appropriate.

VRP Medical Center

VRP Medical Center in Mandaluyong offers coronary angiography and interventional procedures through its Cardiac Catheterization and Vascular Center. Its published offers include:

The hospital states that terms and conditions apply. The ₱341,200 figure is useful for patients comparing the possible cost of diagnosis and treatment during the same hospitalization.

However, the price should not be interpreted as a nationwide cost of coronary stent placement or a guaranteed total for complicated cases. The number and type of devices, professional services, length of stay and clinical findings can change the bill.

Cardinal Santos Medical Center

Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan publishes a ₱65,000 basic coronary angiogram package. The listed inclusions are:

• Medicines used during the procedure
• Medical supplies and consumables
• Procedure-related hospital charges
• Use of the angiography suite
• Cath-lab recovery room services
• Professional fees of the angiographer and attending physician

The hospital’s terms state that its package rates apply from January 2026, subject to change. The package is intended for non-complicated cases as determined by the attending physician. If complications arise and the patient no longer qualifies, the hospital may charge on an itemized basis rather than honor the original package rate.

The hospital also publishes restrictions on senior citizen, PWD and other discounts for the package.

St. Elizabeth Hospital — ₱80,500

St. Elizabeth Hospital in General Santos City advertises an all-in coronary angiogram package of ₱80,500. Its published inclusions are:

• Semi-private room accommodation
• Laboratory tests
• Medical supplies and procedure-related charges
• Cardiologist professional fees
• PhilHealth-related package arrangements

The hospital does not provide enough public detail to establish the exact cash-out for every PhilHealth member. Patients should ask whether the package price is quoted before or after their applicable benefit and whether extra care may be billed separately.

Magkano ang Angiogram sa Philippine Heart Center?

The Philippine Heart Center is one of the Philippines’ major specialist institutions for heart disease. It offers coronary angiography, cardiac catheterization and related procedures.

However, a current 2026 coronary angiogram package price could not be independently confirmed from its accessible official pricing information during this review. The hospital’s official treatment-packages webpage is available.

Older Philippine Heart Center fee documents and secondary websites show different amounts, but they should not be treated as current package quotations.

The price also depends on:

• Whether the patient is treated as an outpatient or admitted
• Ward, semi-private or private accommodation
• Whether the examination involves coronary arteries after bypass surgery
• Whether a hemodynamic study is also required
• Whether the patient needs angioplasty or another intervention
• The applicable professional fees and other charges

Angiogram with Hemodynamic Study

A hemodynamic study involves assessing pressures and other circulation-related measurements inside the heart or major blood vessels. A cardiologist may request it alongside coronary angiography when additional information is necessary. It should not be priced as an ordinary standalone coronary angiogram.

Angiogram After Bypass Surgery

Patients who have previously undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) may need angiographic examination of native coronary arteries and bypass grafts. This can require a different procedure and additional catheterization work.

Before requesting a quote, inform the hospital about any previous bypass surgery, stents or cardiac procedures. For a Philippine Heart Center appointment, request the current package sheet directly and ask for a breakdown by patient accommodation class and procedure type.

Public vs. Private Hospital Angiogram Costs

A government hospital can have a lower published procedure fee than a private hospital package, but that does not always mean the final hospital bill is lower by the same amount.

The PGH figure of ₱20,185 and a private package of ₱65,000 describe different pricing arrangements. Request written quotations showing the same set of services before deciding which is less expensive.

CT Angiogram Price in the Philippines

A CT angiogram (CTA) is a different type of vascular imaging examination. It uses CT scanning and usually an intravenous contrast agent to produce images of blood vessels. Unlike conventional coronary angiography, a CT angiogram does not require inserting a catheter through the wrist or groin into the coronary arteries.

CT Angiogram Prices

Bicol Medical Center’s July 2026 CT schedule lists professional fees separately from several imaging procedure charges.

Chong Hua Hospital’s rates took effect August 26, 2026, and the hospital states that its displayed amounts cover procedure charges, excluding applicable medicines and supplies.

The Bicol figures are reproduced from CareCostPH’s earlier review of its published CT schedule; direct access to that hospital’s current schedule was unavailable during this review, so confirm them before booking.

CT Coronary Angiogram vs. Catheter Coronary Angiogram

A CT coronary angiogram is not automatically a substitute for catheter coronary angiography. The appropriate examination depends on the patient’s symptoms, previous findings, likelihood of coronary artery disease and need for possible intervention.

For additional CT angiogram types and preparation details, see CT Scan Price in the Philippines.

Is a Coronary Calcium Score the Same as a CT Angiogram?

No. A coronary calcium score is a specialized CT examination that estimates the amount of calcified plaque in coronary arteries. It is generally performed without the intravenous contrast used for CT coronary angiography.

Although it may be useful for selected cardiovascular risk assessments, it cannot replace every examination needed to investigate suspected coronary artery blockage. Its lower price should not be compared with coronary angiography as though both tests answer the same clinical question.

Angiogram vs. Angioplasty: Why the Price Can Increase

This distinction is especially important for anyone budgeting for a heart procedure. A coronary angiogram is primarily diagnostic. Coronary angioplasty is a treatment. During angiography, the cardiologist examines the arteries for narrowing or blockages.

If a significant blockage is found, the patient may need:

• Medication and follow-up
• Coronary angioplasty
• Placement of one or more stents
• Coronary bypass surgery
• Additional assessment before treatment

Not every detected narrowing requires stenting.

How Much Does Angiogram Plus Angioplasty Cost?

VRP Medical Center provides a useful published comparison.

The amounts above are VRP’s starting offers and should not be treated as a universal angioplasty price. Marikina Valley Medical Center separately advertises angioplasty packages starting at ₱275,000 for a one-stent procedure.

The total bill can change substantially when more than one stent, special devices or additional hospital care is needed.

Does Every Angiogram Turn Into Angioplasty?

No. A cardiologist may decide that the findings can be managed medically or that a different treatment is more appropriate. If an elective coronary angiogram could lead to an immediate intervention, ask the cardiologist about the circumstances under which angioplasty would be performed in the same session.

For urgent heart attacks, treatment decisions may need to be made rapidly.

What Does an Angiogram Package Include?

A package may combine several charges into one published price. However, the inclusions vary between hospitals.

For example, Cardinal Santos specifies medicines, consumables, cath-lab use and relevant professional fees within its basic package. De Los Santos provides an inpatient package with defined accommodation and professional services.

A published PGH cath-lab rate does not establish that all of these components are included.

Additional Costs That May Increase the Bill

Specialized devices, additional catheters, treatment of complications, emergency services, intensive care, longer admissions and extra laboratory testing may increase the final bill.

For an angioplasty, the number and type of stents and other devices can have a significant effect. A hospital should explain whether the patient would remain covered by the original package if circumstances change.

Does PhilHealth Cover Angiogram in the Philippines?

Yes, an eligible coronary angiography procedure may be covered through applicable PhilHealth case-rate or package arrangements. However, the amount depends on the procedure, medical diagnosis, accreditation and claims rules.

It is important to distinguish between:

1. A planned diagnostic coronary angiogram.
2. A coronary angiogram performed during admission for a heart attack.
3. Coronary angioplasty or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
4. A combined treatment package under specific PhilHealth rules.

These situations do not necessarily have the same benefit.

PhilHealth for a Planned Coronary Angiogram

A patient scheduled for elective coronary angiography may be eligible for benefits according to the procedure actually performed and the relevant hospital billing arrangement. Some hospitals advertise cash-out prices after an expected PhilHealth deduction.

For example:

These are the hospital’s published package illustrations, not a guaranteed deduction available everywhere. Have the hospital’s PhilHealth desk verify the applicable amount for your case.

PhilHealth’s ₱523,853 Heart Attack PCI Benefit

PhilHealth significantly increased its benefits for Ischemic Heart Disease–Acute Myocardial Infarction (IHD-AMI), effective December 21, 2024. Under PhilHealth Circular No. 2024-0032, the enhanced benefit amounts include:

PhilHealth commonly rounds the PCI benefit to ₱524,000 in public announcements. These amounts are intended for specified services within the eligible heart-attack benefit arrangements.

The ₱523,853 PCI benefit is not the standard reimbursement for every routine elective angiogram. It is also not cash automatically given to the patient. Claims are subject to the applicable rules and facility arrangements.

For patients admitted in basic or ward accommodation, PhilHealth has emphasized its no-copayment policy under the applicable benefit conditions. Ask the hospital how the rule applies to the specific admission and package.

Official sources:

• PhilHealth — Heart Disease Benefit Announcement
• PhilHealth Circular No. 2024-0032

Can You Get a Free Angiogram in a Public Hospital?

A public hospital may offer subsidized cardiac services, and eligible patients may receive financial help through government programs. However, a coronary angiogram is not automatically free merely because it is performed in a government hospital.

Published government rates may differ according to patient classification, available subsidies, hospital admission, PhilHealth eligibility and other rules. If cost is a major concern, ask the hospital’s medical social service department about your options.

Malasakit Center and Other Assistance

Depending on eligibility and funding availability, assistance may be available through:

• Malasakit Centers at participating hospitals
• DSWD Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS)
• PCSO medical assistance
• Local government medical assistance programs

A hospital social worker can explain whether the patient qualifies, what documents are required and which charges may be covered. Assistance should not be treated as guaranteed or automatically applicable to every private-hospital procedure.

Does an HMO Cover an Angiogram?

HMO coverage varies by insurance plan. Some policies may cover medically necessary coronary angiography, subject to benefit limits, accreditation, exclusions and authorization requirements.

Before an elective procedure, confirm:

• Whether diagnostic coronary angiography is covered
• Whether the hospital and cardiologist are accredited
• Whether an LOA or preauthorization is required
• Whether professional fees and cath-lab supplies are included
• Whether the plan covers the full admission
• What happens if angioplasty or stenting is required
• Whether an annual or per-illness benefit limit applies

Do not assume that a hospital accepting your HMO means all cardiac procedures are covered.

Senior Citizen and PWD Discounts

Eligible senior citizens and persons with disabilities may qualify for applicable statutory discounts and VAT exemptions on medical services and other qualifying expenses. However, cardiac procedure packages may have special discount conditions.

For example, Cardinal Santos and De Los Santos publish restrictions on combining package prices with certain discounts. Ask the billing department how the applicable legal entitlements are calculated for your final bill.

Do not assume that a flat 20% deduction can always be applied to a package already subject to special terms or PhilHealth adjustments.

How Is a Coronary Angiogram Performed?

A conventional coronary angiogram is normally performed in a cardiac catheterization laboratory. The procedure typically involves:

1. Preparing and cleaning the access area, often at the wrist or groin.
2. Giving local anesthetic at the insertion site.
3. Introducing a thin catheter into an artery.
4. Guiding the catheter toward the heart under imaging.
5. Injecting contrast material to visualize the coronary arteries.
6. Recording the images and assessing any narrowing or blockage.
7. Removing the catheter and monitoring the insertion site afterward.

Patients are usually awake, although sedation may be used when appropriate.

How Long Does an Angiogram Take?

A straightforward diagnostic coronary angiogram may take approximately 30–60 minutes, although the actual time varies. Preparation, recovery and monitoring usually make the total hospital visit longer than the procedure itself.

Some patients can go home the same day. Others may need overnight observation, particularly if additional interventions are performed or their medical condition requires monitoring.

When Are Results Available?

The cardiologist can often review the findings during the procedure and explain the important results shortly afterward. The availability of a formal written report or digital images depends on the hospital. Ask whether the report and images are included in the package.

Preparing for an Angiogram

The hospital will provide preparation instructions based on the exact procedure. Common requirements may include:

• A cardiologist’s request and clinical evaluation
• Blood tests such as CBC and kidney-function assessment
• A list of current medicines
• Information about previous reactions to contrast
• Information about diabetes, kidney disease or pregnancy
• Instructions about eating and drinking before the examination
• A responsible companion or transport arrangements after sedation

Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own. Your healthcare team should tell you whether adjustments are required.

Is a Coronary Angiogram Painful?

The catheter insertion site is typically numbed with local anesthetic. Patients may feel pressure at the access site or a temporary warm sensation when contrast is injected.

Significant pain is not expected during a routine uncomplicated procedure. Tell the medical team immediately if you feel pain or other concerning symptoms.

Is an Angiogram Risky?

Coronary angiography is a commonly performed procedure, but complications are possible. Risks include:

• Bruising or bleeding where the catheter enters the artery
• Allergic or other reactions to contrast material
• Kidney injury associated with contrast in susceptible patients
• Injury to blood vessels
• Abnormal heart rhythms
• Rare but serious complications, including stroke or heart attack

The cardiologist should explain the risks that are relevant to the patient’s specific condition. CT angiography has a different risk profile because it does not involve arterial catheterization but typically uses iodinated contrast and X-ray radiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Magkano ang angiogram sa Pilipinas?

PGH publishes a ₱20,185 cath-lab outpatient-pay rate. Selected private coronary angiogram packages are advertised between ₱55,000 and ₱80,500, while some hospitals quote lower conditional cash-out amounts after PhilHealth.

Magkano ang angiogram sa Philippine Heart Center?

A current official package amount could not be independently verified during this review. Ask Philippine Heart Center for its latest price by procedure type and room classification rather than relying on an old price sheet.

How much is angiogram with PhilHealth?

It depends on the hospital’s gross price, procedure, patient eligibility and applicable benefit. De Los Santos advertises ₱36,085 cash-out after PhilHealth for its ₱55,000 outpatient package, subject to its conditions.

What is the difference between an angiogram and angioplasty?

An angiogram primarily examines blood vessels. Angioplasty treats a narrowed or blocked artery, often by using a balloon and sometimes inserting a stent.

How much is angiogram with stent in the Philippines?

VRP advertises a combined coronary angiogram-and-angioplasty package starting at ₱341,200. This is one provider’s starting price, not a nationwide estimate or a guarantee for complex procedures.

Is CT angiogram cheaper than conventional angiogram?

It may have a lower advertised procedure price than a full catheter angiogram package, but the examinations have different purposes and capabilities. A cardiologist must determine which is appropriate.

Does every angiogram require hospital admission?

Not necessarily. Some diagnostic coronary angiograms are performed on an outpatient basis with several hours of recovery and monitoring. Other patients require admission.

Can I get an angiogram without a doctor’s referral?

Coronary angiography normally requires specialist evaluation, a clinical indication, procedural consent and hospital arrangements. It is not generally booked like a routine walk-in laboratory test.

Does PhilHealth’s ₱523,853 benefit apply to an elective angiogram?

Not automatically. The enhanced benefit relates to qualifying PCI treatment for acute myocardial infarction under the applicable PhilHealth program, not to every planned diagnostic angiogram.

How much does a brain angiogram cost?

The price depends on whether the examination is a CT brain angiogram or invasive cerebral angiography. CareCostPH’s earlier review of Bicol Medical Center’s July 2026 CT schedule found combined listed charges of ₱12,000 for head CT angiography. Invasive cerebral angiography requires a separate quotation.

How CareCostPH Checked These Prices

CareCostPH reviewed publicly available hospital fee schedules, cardiac catheterization package pages, CT angiography price lists, PhilHealth publications and relevant medical references on October 14, 2026.

The review prioritized actual named hospital prices rather than unsourced nationwide averages.

The figures were classified as:

• Hospital procedure charges
• Published closed or starting package prices
• Advertised conditional patient cash-out amounts after PhilHealth
• CT procedure charges
• Combined imaging procedure and professional fees

Some hospitals publish current package prices but do not disclose every included service. Others provide detailed inclusions without a clearly accessible current price. Where a current amount could not be independently verified, the article does not present it as a confirmed 2026 quotation.

No hospital visits, telephone interviews or firsthand patient billing records were involved in this review.

Prices are provided for general information and may change. Confirm the current amount, package conditions, exclusions and PhilHealth treatment directly with the hospital. Medical decisions should be made with a qualified healthcare professional. New or severe chest pain, breathing difficulty, fainting or suspected heart-attack symptoms require urgent medical assessment rather than waiting to compare routine angiogram prices.

Before Booking an Angiogram: Final Checklist

• Confirm whether your doctor’s request is for a catheter coronary angiogram, CT coronary angiogram or another vascular examination.
• Ask if the quotation is a procedure rate, a full package or an estimated cash-out after PhilHealth.
• Check if cardiologist and anesthesiologist fees are included.
• Ask whether contrast, catheters, medicines and standard supplies are covered.
• Confirm the room category and included recovery or hospital stay.
• Ask which pre-procedure laboratory and cardiac tests are required.
• Confirm the applicable PhilHealth benefit and whether it has already been deducted.
• Ask whether your HMO requires authorization.
• Ask how senior citizen or PWD benefits apply to the bill.
• Request an estimate for angioplasty or stenting if it may become necessary.
• Ask about government medical assistance if needed.
• Request a written itemized quotation before the scheduled procedure.

Ask the hospital: “Magkano po ang total estimated angiogram bill, kasama ang doctor’s fee, contrast, supplies at room? Magkano po ang cash-out after PhilHealth, at magkano kung kailangan ng stent?” That information provides a more realistic budget than a single advertised angiogram price.
