How much does it usually cost to have PET scan in the Philippines?

Do you have insurance? Insurance will usually pay a large hunk of the cost, if not all of it.

Should be cheaper than in the US. But with airline and hotel cost plus spending allowance for food and etc. can add up. Expect to spend $1000 or more. This link says it costs around $2000 here in the US. http://interactive.snm.org/index.cfm?Pag...
