Upfront payment isn't required at all hospitals in the Philippines. "Regarding payment in Hospitals , I needed Hospital treatment on my back a couple of months also I went to Davao doctors Hospital , I have to say they did not demand any payment before I had treatment neither were they aggressive or rude in anyway , after my treatment I was just directed to where I paid for my treatment they were kind and courteous all the time," recalled another expat in Davao.

In Private hospitals, cash or credit is required upfront before admittance is allowed

You will not be allowed to leave the hospital until full payment is made. Locals can leave after signing promissory notes. This is breaking the law, but hospitals still carry on this practice regardless

If you are unfortunate to be involved in an accident, they will send you to the nearest hospital, if you are not coherent, they will not treat you until a family member comes up with the payment details. You could die while waiting, but that is not their concern

I've seen both scenarios here. Somebody dying on the hospital steps due to the inability to pay for services, and somebody being held, and incurring additional charges, due to the inability to pay on the anticipated release date.
