If you have ever tried to find out what a blood test actually costs in Metro Manila, you know the frustration: some laboratories publish no prices at all, others quote only over the phone, and hospital rates can be several times what a standalone lab charges for the same test. Whether you are holding a doctor's lab request or simply planning your annual check-up, you deserve a straight answer before you commit.
Here it is: in 2026, most common blood tests in Metro Manila cost between ₱160 and ₱900 per test, while bundled screening packages range from about ₱600 for a lipid profile to ₱8,790 for a comprehensive full body screening. The tables below list real, current prices for home service laboratory testing through Klaro Health, in partnership with licensed laboratories — plus typical market ranges so you can compare fairly.

How much do lab test packages cost in Metro Manila?
Bundled packages cost less per test than ordering tests individually, because laboratories process related tests from the same collection. Klaro Health's home service packages as of July 2026:

For context, executive check-up packages at major Metro Manila hospitals typically cost ₱25,000–₱32,000, though these usually include a physician consult, physical exam, and imaging that blood-only screening packages do not. If you are comparing those options, our guide to executive check-ups vs home blood screening covers the differences honestly.
Why do blood test prices vary so much between labs?
The same blood test can cost two to four times more at one facility than another because you are paying for different things around the test, not a different test. The main factors:
- Rent and location. A walk-in laboratory or clinic in a central business district pays prime-location rent, and staffs and equips every branch it operates. Those fixed costs are built into the price of every test — which is why the same CBC can cost more in Makati or BGC than in a neighborhood lab.
- Processing model. Home service works on a different cost structure: samples are collected at your home and routed to one centralized reference laboratory, where automated analyzers process tests in high volumes. Higher volume on modern equipment lowers the cost per test, and there is no overhead from running many small branch laboratories in expensive locations. This is how home service pricing can sit at the typical to lower end of the market even though collection comes to your doorstep.
- Accreditation and equipment. Laboratories with higher-level accreditation and newer analyzers may price higher — and that quality difference can be worth paying for.
- Bundling. Packages are almost always cheaper per test than ordering the same tests individually.
A lower price does not automatically mean lower quality, and a higher price does not guarantee better accuracy. What matters is that the laboratory processing your sample is licensed and accredited.
Is a home service blood test more expensive than going to the lab?
Not necessarily — once you count the full cost of going to a lab in person, home service is often comparable or cheaper. With Klaro Health, the test prices listed above are the prices you pay, plus a flat ₱299 home visit fee that is waived entirely for orders over ₱1,800. Terms and conditions apply.
Compare that with a typical lab visit in Metro Manila: transport or fuel and parking, and for fasting tests, an early start to beat the queue — many labs see their longest lines before 8am. For one person doing a routine annual screening, or an adult child arranging tests for a parent, the ₱299 fee (or a bundled order that clears the ₱1,800 free-visit threshold) frequently costs less than the trip itself — and the sample is collected at home by a PRC-registered medical technologist, then processed by licensed partner laboratories.
Do you need a doctor's request to get a blood test in the Philippines?
For most routine tests — CBC, blood sugar, lipid profile, urinalysis and similar screening tests — you do not need a doctor's request to book. If you do have a lab request, you can upload a photo of it and Klaro Health will identify the tests, send a free quote, and arrange the home visit. Either way, test results should always be reviewed with your doctor. We cover this question in full in a separate guide.
How often should you get blood tests: one-time screening or regular monitoring?
Screening and monitoring answer different questions, and the right frequency depends on which one you are doing. Screening is a periodic check when you have no known condition — many doctors suggest routine blood work around annual check-ups, especially from your 30s onward. Monitoring is repeat testing of specific markers because you and your doctor are tracking something — for example, people managing blood sugar are often advised to repeat an HbA1c every few months, and people on maintenance medication may need regular kidney or liver panels.
Budget-wise, this matters: monitoring is a recurring cost, so per-test price differences add up over a year in a way they don't for one-off screening. Consult your doctor to determine which screening tests you need — and how often.
How can you book a blood test at home in Metro Manila?
These tests and packages can be booked through Klaro Health's home service, in partnership with licensed laboratories. Booking takes a few minutes online: choose your test or package at klaro.ph, select a time slot (next-day slots are available, including early morning for fasting tests), and enter your address. A PRC-registered medical technologist visits your home for sample collection, and results for most routine tests are emailed the next day after processing.
