About this guide: Cebu Doctors' University Hospital does not publish a price list on its website. We checked the hospital's About page and Pricelist page on cebudocgroup.com.ph (the Pricelist has Cardiology and Laboratory sections, and each held only a single placeholder "test" entry, not real rates), plus the group's Services, Accreditations, Find a Doctor, Contact and FAQ pages. Bed count, level, ownership, address and phone come from PhilHealth's list of accredited hospitals for CY 2026, updated September 30, 2026; other facility details come from the CebuDoc Group website. Last checked: November 2026.

Which Cebu Doctors Hospital Is This?
"Cebu Doctors" can point to more than one place, so confirm the name before you travel. This guide covers Cebu Doctors' University Hospital (CDUH) on Osmeña Boulevard, Cebu City, the hospital most people mean when they search "Cebu Doctors hospital."
CDUH is one member of the CebuDoc Group, which lists several other hospitals on its website. These are separate facilities with their own phone numbers: Mactan Doctors' Hospital (Basak, Lapu-Lapu City), North General Hospital (Talamban, Cebu City), South General Hospital (Naga City, Cebu), and group hospitals in San Carlos City (Negros Occidental), Ormoc City (Leyte), and Tagbilaran City (Bohol). If you were told to go to "Cebu Doc" for a procedure, ask which branch.
Do not confuse the hospital with Cebu Doctors' University, the school. Its contact details are different from the hospital's. For patient concerns, use the hospital numbers in the contact section below.
What Is Cebu Doctors' University Hospital?
CDUH describes itself as a leading tertiary-level provider in Metropolitan Cebu. According to its About page, the hospital was inaugurated on August 20, 1972, and is a private stock corporation. PhilHealth's 2026 list of accredited hospitals, updated September 30, 2026, lists it as a private, Level 3 hospital with 300 beds, which matches the hospital's own description of a 300-bed complex.
PhilHealth lists the address as CDUH Building, Osmeña Blvd., Brgy. Capitol Site, Cebu City, with the phone (032) 255-5555.
Two recognitions appear on the group's Accreditations page: the Philippine Hospital Association named CDUH "Most Outstanding Hospital, Level 3 – Private" in 2018 and 2019. The About page also says CDUH was accredited by QHA Trent, a UK scheme, in 2011. Those are the hospital's own claims, and the 2011 date is old, so treat them as background. The Level 3 classification comes from PhilHealth's 2026 list, not from these awards.
Because CDUH is private, the DOH's Zero Balance Billing program does not apply here. That program covers DOH-retained government hospitals.
What Services and Centers Does CDUH Offer?
The CebuDoc Group's Services page lists the following departments and centers. The page is group-wide and does not say which site hosts each one, so ask CDUH before you go if you need a specific service.
| Area | Listed on the Services page |
|---|---|
| Diagnostics | Radiology, Laboratory, Pulmonary, PET-CT Scan, Cardiology, Happydoc Diagnostics |
| Specialty centers | Center for Cancer and Blood Disorder, Center for Nuclear Medicine, Centre for Sight, Center for Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Center for Wound, Ostomy Care and Hyperbaric Medicine, Center for Aesthetics and Laser |
| Treatment | Radiation Therapy, Dialysis Center |
| Women and children | Mother and Child, Center for Women |
| Other | Happydoc Pharmacy, CDCare, Executive Check-Up Unit, CebuDoc Dental Institute |
The hospital's About page also says CDUH was the first hospital in the Visayas and Mindanao to offer nuclear medicine services (from 1990). Our directory has profiles for the main hospital, the Centre for Women, and the Centre for Imaging and Interventional Radiology. For imaging price context, see our MRI cost guide and CT scan cost guide.
Does CDUH Publish Its Prices?
Not in a usable form. The hospital's website has a Prices menu item that leads to a Pricelist page for CDUH. The page loads its data by section, and only two sections are offered: Cardiology and Laboratory. When we checked in November 2026, each section held a single placeholder entry (a test record, not a real procedure) with a 2022 or 2023 effective date. There are no room rates, no packages, and no procedure prices.
We also looked for rates, room rates, services and patient-guide pages on the group site. The Patient and Visitors Guide page loaded with no content, and the Executive Check-up Program and Specialty Centers links on the menu returned errors. Nothing on the site states what a private room, an ER visit, or a delivery costs.
That matches many private hospitals: you get a quote by calling or visiting. Third-party sites quote room prices for Cebu hospitals, but they are not from CDUH, so we do not repeat them here.
How Much Will a Hospital Stay Cost?
We cannot give a CDUH-specific number, and a guessed range would not help you budget. What drives the bill at any private hospital is the same: room type, your doctor's professional fee, length of stay, laboratory and imaging, medicines, and any operating room or ICU time.
Two steps give you real numbers. First, ask the admitting or billing office for a written estimate for your specific diagnosis or procedure and room category. Second, ask what your doctor's professional fee will be, because it is often billed separately from the hospital.
For a rough sense of how private hospitals price things, our hospital rates guide and room rates guide explain the common ranges across the country. Our post on Chong Hua Hospital, another private Cebu City hospital that does publish rates, show what a published Cebu rate sheet looks like. Treat that as context only, not as a CDUH price.
Does CDUH Accept PhilHealth and HMO?
PhilHealth's 2026 list of accredited hospitals shows CDUH accredited through December 31, 2026. CDUH's website does not list the HMOs it works with, so we cannot confirm HMO acceptance from the hospital's side.
What to do:
- PhilHealth: CDUH is accredited, but ask the billing office whether your case is covered and how the case rate is applied before you are admitted. Our PhilHealth hospitalization benefits guide explains how PhilHealth case rates work.
- HMO: Call your HMO and ask whether CDUH is in your plan's provider network, and whether you need a Letter of Authorization (LOA) or guarantee letter first. See our HMO-accredited clinics guide and guarantee letter guide.
- Get it in writing: Network lists change. Ask for the answer by email or on the LOA.
How Do I Book a Doctor or Contact the Hospital?
The hospital's main line, shown on its About page, is +63 032 255-5555. The CebuDoc Group footer lists (032) 253 7511 to 12 and info@cebudocgroup.com.ph. We did not find a dedicated emergency number on the site, so call the main line and ask for the Emergency Room. For a life-threatening emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest ER.
The group website has a Find a Doctor page listing physicians with their specialty and clinic schedule. Schedules change, so call to confirm before you go. The Online Appointment Services menu lists only Larrazabal Eye and Happydoc Diagnostics, not general hospital booking. For other specialties, book by phone.
The CebuDoc Group website had certificate and loading problems on some of its subdomains when we checked, so if a page fails to open, try again later or call.
How Can I Lower or Cover the Bill?
If cost is the worry, you have options:
- Ask for a bill estimate first and compare with another hospital.
- Use PhilHealth and your HMO correctly: confirm coverage before admission, not after.
- Consider a government hospital for ward-level care. In Cebu City, Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center is a DOH government hospital with its own Zero Balance Billing policy for ward patients. Read our government hospital guide for options.
- Look at assistance programs: PCSO, DSWD AICS, and MAIFIP. Some require a hospital bill or a medical abstract, so ask the billing office for documents early.
- If you already owe a balance, see what to do when you can't pay a hospital bill and the promissory note guide.
