All this requires costs. As a nonprofit, non-government and voluntary humanitarian organization that depends solely on public donations, the Philippine Red Cross PRC needs to recover cost to continue its humanitarian services, including blood services. We follow strictly the Department of Health standard.
The financial requirements to ensure safe, quality and adequate supply of blood and blood products are relatively high, thus corresponding fees are authorized by the DOH. Republic Act , known as the Blood Services Act of , mandates that blood service operation shall be on a nonprofit basis.
Therefore, the amount of blood processing fee we are charging is allowed by law, and is way below the rate being charged by other blood bank operators. In fact, since we want to give the above standard blood services, Red Cross is subsidizing a big portion of our blood services expenses. For every voluntary blood donation, the PRC issues a blood donor card. Legitimate indigent or charity patients can be assisted through the Red Cross Blood Samaritan Program, which extends discounts or a percent waiver of the blood processing fees.
Inquire with any of the hospitals in your area. If a patient is confined, it is possible to ask for the actual price rates of blood per bag in the same hospital. Organizations in different cities also offer blood support for those having difficulties looking for a particular blood type. Blood and its components are usually dispensed on a per bag basis. Most of the time you can avail them from the hospital itself, only that you need to replace it in some other ways like a donation. Note that for the most part, blood in non-profit organizations are given for free as they are donated.
But the processing and handling expenses are not so patients may need to pay for such. Depending on your blood type, you may need a specific blood based on your condition.
The doctor will provide details on what you actually need and request it for the medical procedure. See: Blood Test Prices. Blood banks and centers may need to conduct procedures to make the blood useful to patients. Some of them are:. You may proceed to any of the blood bank facilities of Red Cross Philippines. The National Blood Service provides blood components to patients who need them. You should inquire about the expenses involved in a service that you need. Most health cards and those account under HMO will not cover the price of the blood per bag.
Take note that they will only provide benefits for consultations, surgery, hospitalization and some medical procedures.
