The price cap for plate-based is P2,800, while the price cap for cartridge-based RT-PCR tests is P2,450 for public facilities. For private facilities with an allowable 20 percent mark up, the price cap for plate-based is P3,360, and for Cartridge-based, P2,940.
The new rates were based on the revised costing estimate and price cap prescribed by the Department of Health and the Department of Trade and Industry.

The testing of these benefits is available in PhilHealth’s accredited testing laboratory.
