How it works

The calculator adds up real prices from our price data file, where every figure has a source and the date it was checked. Nothing you choose leaves your phone.

Diagnosis routes. Public hospital uses the PGH consult range plus government hospital ultrasound prices. Lying-in uses a cost a Filipina reported on r/PCOSPhilippines for a consult plus transrectal ultrasound. The lab package route is the Hi-Precision comprehensive panel (which includes TVS, OGTT, lipids, testosterone, TSH and prolactin, but no doctor) plus a Kindred OB consult. Kindred uses its PCOS package from-price. Private tertiary uses Manila Doctors consult fees and Makati Medical Center ultrasound prices. PhilHealth Konsulta and HMO routes are shown as covered or low cost, because the real amount depends on your provider or plan.

Monthly medicines. To estimate a month, we multiply the per-tablet, per-box or per-pen price by a common amount: one pill pack, 60 tablets for twice-daily medicines, 30 inositol sachets, or one pen. These amounts are only for cost math. Your doctor sets your actual medicine and amount, and we never suggest a dose.

Cheapest equivalent. When a cheaper version of the same medicine exists, the calculator shows it and how much you might save each month. Althea and Diane-35 both contain cyproterone acetate 2 mg plus ethinylestradiol 35 mcg. Generic metformin and Glucophage are the same molecule. Metformin SR is a different release form, so ask before switching. Inositol brands differ in content, so compare them per gram with the inositol calculator. GLP-1 medicines are never swapped for each other.

First year is the diagnosis cost plus twelve months of the medicines you picked. It does not include follow-up consults or repeat labs, which the guideline suggests every one to three years for glucose.

The checklist under the result lists the tests to ask your OB-GYN about, with prices. Print it or save it as a PDF to bring to your consult. For a full breakdown of every price, see the PCOS cost guide.
