Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center Guide 2026: Location, Services, HMOs

Quick Answer: Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center (CHMC, also branded CommonwealthMed) is a privately owned Level 2, 145-bed hospital in two seven-story buildings. PhilHealth lists it as accredited through December 31, 2026. Despite the name, it is on Regalado Highway in Greater Lagro, Novaliches, right beside SM Fairview, not on Commonwealth Avenue itself. The main line is (02) 8930 0000 and the Emergency Department is open 24 hours. The hospital does not publish a price list, so ask about costs before you are admitted.

About this guide: Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center does not publish a price list on its website. We checked commonwealthmedph.com/rates, /room-rates, /price-list, /packages and /promos (all 404), plus its Our Services, Our Partners, Contact Us, About Us, Privacy Notice, news posts and doctor-appointment pages (no peso prices on any of them). A leftover website-template page at /pricing shows dollar "monthly plans" with placeholder text; it is not hospital pricing. Facility details come from the hospital's own website. Level, bed count, ownership and accreditation come from PhilHealth's list of accredited hospitals for CY 2026 (updated September 30, 2026). Last checked: November 2026.

Which Commonwealth Hospital Is This?

This guide covers Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center, the private hospital that calls itself CommonwealthMed. People often search "commonwealth hospital" expecting a place on Commonwealth Avenue, the long highway that runs through Quezon City. The hospital's own Contact Us page gives a different address: Lot 3 & 4, Blk. 3, Neopolitan Business Park, Regalado Highway, Brgy. Greater Lagro, Novaliches, Quezon City 1118, beside the SM Fairview parking area and the MRT-7 station.

So the name is a little misleading. If you were looking for a facility physically on Commonwealth Avenue, check the address before you travel. We did not build a full list of hospitals on that road, and we are not naming any others here because we could not verify them against official sources. If you want a government hospital instead, our guides to Quezon City General Hospital, East Avenue Medical Center and Quirino Memorial Medical Center cover other Quezon City options.

What Is Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center?

According to the hospital's About Us page, it has been operational since March 19, 2011 and is owned and operated by Health Global International Inc. Its founding doctors have since sold their shares, and the hospital is now owned almost entirely by Metro Pacific Health, the same hospital group that holds Makati Medical Center and Asian Hospital and Medical Center. The page calls CHMC the 19th of 24 hospitals in the Metro Pacific Health group.

The campus is two seven-story buildings with clinic space for roughly 200 doctors. PhilHealth's 2026 list of accredited hospitals, updated September 30, 2026, lists it as a private, Level 2 hospital with 145 beds (the hospital's About page says 148). Being private, government programs built for DOH-retained hospitals, such as Zero Balance Billing, do not apply here.

Where Is It and How Do You Contact It?

All of the details below are from the hospital's Contact Us and Our Services pages.

Phone extensions and mobile numbers can change, and some department listings on the website look copy-pasted (an EEG listing tells you to call "Dialysis", for example). If a department number goes unanswered, call the trunk line and ask to be transferred.

What Departments and Services Does It Have?

The Our Services page lists the departments below, with the locations and hours as the hospital states them. "DCD" is the hospital's name for its diagnostic and clinic building.

The page also lists an ICU and NICU (both open 24 hours, 2nd floor Main Building), EEG, pulmonary tests (ABG and PFT), physical therapy, and an operating complex with 5 operating rooms, 1 delivery room and 1 recovery room. The hospital's 2024 news posts also mention an ERCP machine for bile duct and pancreas procedures, and a wellness package and executive check-up. Those posts describe what is included but give no prices.

How Do You Book a Doctor or Go to the ER?

For non-emergency visits, the hospital's website has a Doctor Appointment page that lists consultants by specialty, from internal medicine subspecialties and OB-Gyne to orthopedics, ENT, pediatrics, neurosurgery and more. You can pick a doctor there and request a slot, or call the doctors clinic line at (02) 8930 0000, local 140 / 106. Consultants keep their own clinic schedules, so confirm the day and time before you go.

For emergencies, the Emergency Department is on the ground floor of the Main Building and open 24 hours. Call (02) 8930 0000 local 103 / 107 if you need to alert them, but do not wait on a phone call when someone is in danger. If the patient is stable and you are comparing hospitals, bring a list of the expected tests or procedures so billing can give you an estimate.

Does Commonwealth Hospital Accept PhilHealth and HMOs?

HMOs: The hospital's Our Partners page shows a long list of HMO logos. From the file names on that page, they include Maxicare, Medicard, Intellicare, Cocolife, PhilCare, Pacific Cross, EastWest, Generali and many more. Accreditation changes and some plans exclude certain procedures or room types, so confirm that your specific card is accepted, and ask whether you need a Letter of Authorization before an admission or procedure. Our guides to HMO-accredited clinics, Maxicare plans and Medicard plans explain how that process works.

PhilHealth: Yes. PhilHealth's 2026 list of accredited hospitals lists Commonwealth Hospital and Medical Center as accredited through December 31, 2026, and the hospital's privacy notice says PhilHealth benefits are deducted from patient bills. Which case types are covered is a separate question, so ask the admitting or billing office before an elective admission. Our PhilHealth hospitalization benefits guide and benefits coverage guide explain what to expect.

How Much Does It Cost, and How Do You Estimate a Bill?

We could not find a single peso figure on the hospital's website, so we are not giving one. Any per-procedure range we offered would be a guess, and a wrong number on a health decision is worse than none. What you can do:

1. Ask for a written estimate from the billing or admitting office for your procedure, room type and expected stay. The professional fee of your doctor is usually separate from the hospital bill.
2. Check your coverage first. PhilHealth, your HMO and a company guarantee letter can each offset part of the bill. See our guarantee letter guide.
3. Compare against public benchmarks. Our hospital rates overview and hospital room rates guide show typical ranges across the country, which is useful context but not a CHMC quote.
4. Know your room category. Whether you are classified as ward, semi-private or private affects both cost and PhilHealth treatment. See the patient classification guide.

If a bill is more than you can pay at discharge, read about the hospital bill promissory note and what to do when you can't pay a hospital bill. For medical assistance, see the PCSO guide, DSWD AICS and DOH MAIFIP. Whether any of these programs will apply at a private hospital depends on the program, so check each one's rules first.
