Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital Rates & Fees Guide 2026

Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital Rates & Fees Guide 2026

Quick Answer: Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital (SKPH) in Isulan is a provincial-government hospital where a PhilHealth member admitted to a ward-level bed should see most or all of the bill absorbed by PhilHealth's case rate — the same story that plays out at government hospitals nationwide. SKPH does not publish a fee schedule. It has an on-site Malasakit Center, a 399-bed capacity inside a new 4-storey building, and a 2026 free cleft lip/palate surgery program run with Operation Smile.

About this guide: Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital does not publish an official price list, so this guide does not include a rate table. What follows comes from the hospital's own published information on its Malasakit Center, facility history, and 2026 programs. Figures quoted are limited to what those sources state. Last checked: August 2026.

About Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital

Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital sits along the National Highway in Kalawag II, Isulan, the capital of Sultan Kudarat province in SOCCSKSARGEN. It's administered by the provincial government of Sultan Kudarat, not the national Department of Health directly — a distinction that matters because it's the provincial government, rather than DOH, that funds and runs the facility.

Third-party facility listings describe SKPH as a Level 2 hospital, and we're phrasing it that way — "listed as Level 2" — because we could not independently confirm the classification against an official DOH source. What we can confirm from the hospital's own material is its bed capacity: 399 beds, housed in a 4-storey building that replaced the hospital's older structure.

As the flagship hospital of its province, SKPH functions as the main referral point for patients coming from smaller municipal and district facilities across Sultan Kudarat. That referral role is common among provincial hospitals in the Philippines: a rural health unit or municipal hospital handles routine care, and cases that need more specialized equipment, surgery, or round-the-clock monitoring get sent up to the provincial hospital instead.

Does Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital publish a price list?

No. SKPH has not published an itemized rate sheet covering consultations, room rates, or procedures, so this guide isn't going to hand you numbers that don't exist anywhere official. What we can explain instead is the mechanism that determines what a patient actually pays.

As a PhilHealth-accredited government hospital, SKPH bills through PhilHealth's case-rate system — a fixed payment tied to a patient's diagnosis or procedure that's built to cover room and board, professional fees, medicines used during confinement, and diagnostics ordered as part of that admission. For a patient who accepts a ward-level bed, that case rate is designed to absorb most or all of the hospital's charges. Choosing a private or semi-private room takes you out of that protection.

What does PhilHealth cover at a ward-level bed?

The case-rate mechanism is the same one behind "zero balance billing" at government hospitals across the country: the bed type you accept at admission, not a means test or a separate application, is what decides whether your bill lands near ₱0. At SKPH, a PhilHealth member who stays in the ward should expect the case rate to cover:

What the case rate is built to absorb
Room and board in ward-level accommodation
Professional fees of attending physicians
Laboratory and diagnostic tests ordered during the admission
Operating room use
Medicines administered during confinement

For how PhilHealth case rates work in more detail, see our PhilHealth hospitalization benefits guide. If your family needs help beyond what the case rate pays for, our charity ward guide and guarantee letter guide cover the next steps.

Does Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital have a Malasakit Center?

Yes. SKPH's Malasakit Center launched on November 19, 2018, and it's located in the hospital's Out-Patient Building, behind the main hospital building. As of the hospital's own published information, the center's head of social service is Hamida S. Usman, RSW.

A Malasakit Center consolidates assistance from PCSO, DOH's MAIFIP program, and PhilHealth into a single window inside the hospital, so patients and families don't have to file separately at multiple government offices. If your out-of-pocket costs go beyond what the case rate covers, the Malasakit Center desk at SKPH is the practical first stop — you don't need to already know which specific program applies before you go. Our Malasakit Center guide explains what documents to bring and how intake generally works, and our DOH-MAIFIP guide covers that specific program in more depth.

How big is Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital?

SKPH's current footprint traces to a specific expansion: a new 4-storey facility inaugurated on September 24, 2021, sitting on a 3.3-hectare campus. That inauguration is what brought the hospital to its current 399-bed capacity.

We're calling out the inauguration date because older descriptions of SKPH online may still reflect the hospital's earlier, smaller footprint. Anything describing SKPH without the 4-storey building or citing a materially different bed count predates the 2021 expansion.

Does the hospital offer free cleft lip and palate surgery?

Yes, as of 2026. SKPH has announced a free cleft lip/palate surgery program, run jointly with Operation Smile and the provincial government of Sultan Kudarat. We're sourcing this from the hospital's own published page, so we're flagging that explicitly rather than treating it as independently verified by a third party.

If a family in the province needs this specific service, the practical next step is confirming current schedules and intake requirements directly with the hospital, since program dates for a surgical mission like this typically run on a calendar the hospital sets closer to the event.

How do I contact Sultan Kudarat Provincial Hospital?

SKPH is located along the National Highway, Kalawag II, Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. The hospital can be reached at (064) 201-3033 or (064) 471-0206.

For assistance programs specifically, the Malasakit Center desk inside the Out-Patient Building is the more direct contact point than the hospital's general lines, since that's where MAIFIP, PCSO, and PhilHealth assistance requests are actually processed.
