For non-emergency cases, arrangement for admission to The Mission Hospital is made during a patient’s appointment with the doctor at our OPD. You will be asked to complete a Pre-admitting Record, which will be forwarded to the Admissions Department. Upon receipt of the Pre-admitting Record, the admitting staff will pre-register or update the data in preparation for your admission. The Doctor’s Office will advise you of the day and time of your admission. Please report to Reception located at the main lobby. You will be directed to the Admissions Office. The Admitting Personnel will verify your details and prepare your admission. Once completed, Guest Services staff will escort you to your room.

In the event of an emergency, admission to The Mission Hospital is arranged through the Emergency Room.

During admission, please inform our Admitting Staff if you plan to use your health insurance (TPA) or corporate credit line to pay for your hospitalization. Our staff will inform you if your particular health insurance company or employer has an existing direct billing arrangement with the hospital. Kindly ensure that your health insurance or employer will submit a Letter of Authorization/Guarantee to the hospital.

A deposit equivalent to 50% of the estimated financial responsibility of each individual patient will be collected prior to admission for an inpatient stay.

For outpatient surgery, outpatient special procedure, and packages, a deposit of 100% of the estimated cost of the operation or procedure is required.

If you have a local third party insurance, or overseas insurance covered by a contract between the hospital and insurance company, you will be required to pay the estimated co-pay and deductibles in accordance with your third party policy.

Should you have an outstanding balance from past accounts, you will be required to pay the outstanding balance and 50% of the estimated financial responsibility for the current admission.

All financial interactions will be deferred for any patient in critical condition until his or her condition is stabilized.

Patients scheduled to undergo surgery must follow the following Pre-Operative Anesthesia Instructions: Fasting for a certain period prior to the operation is required. Adults should not eat or drink anything from six hours before surgery. For children aged 2-6, the fasting period is four hours; for newborns and those aged up to two years, two hours. However, patients may take morning medications (e.g. antihypertensive, anti-angina) with very little sips of water.
