Good morning @chinky. We went to st. Lukes Bonifacio Global City for our medical exam. They have a hotel-like facilities, konti lang ang tao at di magulo. Within 3-4days lang maupload kaagad nila ung results. Yun ay........kung wala silang makitang findings esp. sa mga babae. Yung doktora kc dun napakamabusisi, may naririnig daw na mahinang murmor sa heart ng wife ko. Ayun, nirefer kami sa Ermita branch without anticipating na if ever man na kailanganin ng wife ko to undergo additional check ups from specialist, babalik din naman kami ulit sa Global city. Yun na nga ang nangyari, nirequire din si wife magundergo ng 2D echo with doppler ng doc sa Ermita, at ito ang nakakainis, wala sila nun sa Ermita. Either maghanap daw kami sa ibang hospital or balik kami sa Global. Nakakabwiset lang dahil wala man lang sila consideration na iarrange kami sa specialist nila sa global without arranging na for an appointment knowing kelangan na namin bumalik ng SG. Well, we end up paying additional $400+ dahil dito na nagpacheck si wife sa SG. Tapos nung pinadala namin ang result sa st. Lukes, it took them more than a week pa bago naiprocess after nila marecieved. Kung di pa kinulit kulit ng brother ko everyday, di pa maaayos kaagad.

Sorry, mahaba na ang lamentation ko. Pero maganda facilities ng st. Lukes BGC. Wag ka sa Ermita branch dahil napakagulo dun at madami tao. Madami nagsasabi mas preferred ang Nationwide Health.

Hi. Had my health exam done at NHSI Makati on a Tuesday afternoon. Naabutan ko dun a family of 4 and a few solo applicants. Malamig yung clinic, malinis, the staff were really nice and accommodating, even the doctor who did my physical (she made small talk, asking me about my plans, if I'm excited etc..)

All in all the process was done in half an hour. Then I was advised that the result will be forwarded to DIBP after a week. I checked my immiaccount and they did forward it to DIBP after 6 days, weekends included in the count.

No need to set up an appointment.

In Manila only NHSI and St Lukes have accredited panel physicians. But there are also other hospitals accredited in Cebu, Davao and Baguio City. Check them here :http://www.immi.gov.au/Help/Locations/Pages/Philippines.aspx

@clickbuddy2009 Hi!! thanks for sharing your experience..although medyo mahirap naman yung sa case ninyo na ngpabalik balik kayo then palipat lipat ng clinic..but ok naman in the end..waiting na lg kayo for your visa..Can I ask if you had an appointment first before going to the clinic? Thank you so much..:-)

chinky

@appledeuce hi..thanks a lot for the info..ngdadalawang isip ako sa Nationwide kasi baka matagal pa sila mg upload..delayed na kasi kmi sa medical namin due to some circumstances..but baka naman strict yung sa St lukes and will take 2 days..gusto namin sana 1 day lg..thanks again!!

@chinky, wala po appointment. Pero syempre mas ok pa rin kung maaga kayo pupunta para iwas hassle.

Just manage your expectations na lang po. You may request for an expedited processing and uploading of your results to DIBP, but 1 day is I think too soon. If you're really pressed for time have your medicals na ASAP. good luck po.

chinky

@clickbuddy2009 thanks..Godbless!

@appledeuce thanks! God bless!

Hello all. Pwede po ba malaman kung magkano ang binayad nyo for the medical check? Para lang po mapagipunan...salamat

Just to share, I went to SLEC Global City Taguig. Nasa 10th floor ng Medical Arts building. We got there at around lunchtime kasi we had to pick up our renewed passports in DFA Alabang. Yung guard ang sasalubong sayo and will ask you to fill out some forms. Yun yung Form 26 and Form 160. Mag fill out na kayo nun habang nasa bahay pa para tapos na tapos dalhin nyo na. And 2 pcs passport-sized photo in blue or white background.

Libre ang photocopy ng passport dun. May dala kasi kaming photocopy pero sabi ng guard wag daw yun, gusto nya sya gagawa. Hehehehe.

Pagpasok namin walang tao. Nakalunch break yung nasa cashier. So nag lunch na rin kami, kasi okay lang daw. After lunch, nasa pinto pa lang kami, tinawag na kami ng nurse para sa Medical Check Up. Be prepared mag hubad ng lahat lahat kasi kailangan. Yung husband ko, nakalimutan ko heads-upan kaya paglabas nya galit na galit kasi feeling niya daw violated sya kasi pinataas baba yung kamay nya kaharap doctor habang nakahubad. HAHAHAHA!

Dala ko din mga medical clearances and xrays ko pero hindi kinuha. Binasa lang nung Physician and ni-note lang nya. May scar kasi ako sa left lung but lahat ng documents and clearances pinresent ko.

Nasa ibang building and floor yung XRay, may assistant sila na naghahatid sa mga patients papunta dun. Ang sabi nila kasi daw baka maligaw mga patients. Pero Im guessing para hindi ma -tamper ang results kasi dala dala yung papers mo kaya siguro binabantayan nalang nila.

Our medicals was done in 30 minutes. And uploaded after 2 business days. Fast, efficient and clean sa SLEC Global. Eto yung rates:

0-4 y/o Php 2,350.00
5-10 y/o Php 2,650.00
11-14 y/o Php 3,625.00
15 y/o and up Php 4,250.00

Yun lang. Bow.

@islaman thanks for sharing

palagay ko St. Lukes Global City ang the best, based on my research and personal experience though ito lang yung napuntahan namin. .

Medical check done yesterday Sep 26, 2014 - St Lukes Global City.

4,250 per adult (15 and up)
2,650 per child (5-10 years old)

Notes:

1. Wala masyadong pila, we were visitor #3~5 for Aus; yung Canada na nakasabay namin is at #22 nung dumating kami ng about 10AM. Mga 5 people lang kaming pinaprocess ng time na yun sa room. Maluwag.
2. Natapos namin lahat except xray ng 11:15AM. Merong weight, height at BP check; merong eye check (with your glassses on) at blood test.
3. Pwede naming matapos yun ng 12 kaso we decided to eat lunch first. Via Mare at Ground Floor - the best kare kare and puto bumbong I had in years.
4. Additional 45 mins for xray for me and my wife.
5. No xray or blood test for my son.
6. Urine Test results discussed to us, no issue. Complete results will be forwarded directly by them to DIBP. Guess its about 1 week,
