Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital Rates & Fees Guide 2026
Quick Answer: Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital (TCPGH) is a city-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. TCPGH publishes only two fees: an OPD priority number at ₱50 (plus applicable lab fees) and a medical certificate at ₱100. It has no Malasakit Center of its own — Tuguegarao's Malasakit Center is at Cagayan Valley Medical Center, a different hospital.
About these figures: Two fees below — the OPD priority number and the medical certificate — come from TCPGH's own published charter document, so they're treated as official. Everything else about pricing at TCPGH (room rates, consultations, procedures) is not published anywhere we could verify, and this guide does not invent numbers to fill that gap. Last checked: August 2026.

About Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital
Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital sits on Luna St., Centro 6, Tuguegarao City, and it's administered by the City Government of Tuguegarao — a city-LGU hospital, distinct from the province-run and DOH-retained facilities also serving the area. It's listed as a Level 1 hospital with a 68-bed capacity.
Being a city-run Level 1 facility shapes what TCPGH is realistically equipped to handle: general outpatient and basic inpatient care, with more complex cases typically referred to a higher-level hospital nearby. That referral pattern is also why the Malasakit Center story below matters — it sits at a different hospital entirely.
City-run hospitals like TCPGH exist alongside — not instead of — the province- and DOH-run facilities also serving a city. In Tuguegarao's case, that means residents effectively have two government hospital options at two different levels: a Level 1 city hospital for routine and basic care, and a larger DOH-retained hospital nearby for cases that need more specialized capacity. Knowing which one you're dealing with matters for exactly the kind of question this guide answers — what a specific hospital charges and what assistance is available on-site.
What does Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital charge?
Most of TCPGH's pricing isn't published anywhere we could verify — no room rates, no consultation fees, no procedure list. What we can confirm, from the hospital's own published charter document, are exactly two specific fees:
| Service | Official Rate (per hospital charter) |
|---|---|
| OPD priority number | ₱50, plus applicable laboratory fees |
| Medical certificate | ₱100 |
That's the full extent of what's officially confirmable. We're not extending these two figures into an estimate for anything else TCPGH does — a consultation, a lab test outside the OPD priority number, or a room stay could cost more, less, or be covered entirely differently depending on your PhilHealth status.
It's worth noting how narrow these two published figures actually are. A ₱50 priority number and a ₱100 certificate are administrative fees, not treatment costs — they're what you pay to be seen or to get paperwork, not what you'd pay for a consultation, a procedure, or a hospital stay. For everything past those two line items, the case-rate mechanism below is what actually determines your bill.
What does PhilHealth cover at a ward-level bed?
For anything beyond the two published fees above, the cost mechanism that matters most is PhilHealth's case-rate system: a fixed payment tied to a patient's diagnosis or procedure, 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, the case rate is designed to absorb most or all of the hospital's charges — the same mechanism behind "zero balance billing" at government hospitals nationwide.
Choosing a private or semi-private room removes you from that protection. 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 explains the ward-admission side of that in more depth.
Does Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital have a Malasakit Center?
No — and this is worth knowing before you go looking for one at TCPGH. Tuguegarao's Malasakit Center is not located at this hospital. It's at Cagayan Valley Medical Center (CVMC), on Maharlika Highway, a separate, DOH-retained hospital in the same city. That Malasakit Center was reported as the 58th opened nationally, launched on January 14, 2020.
If you or a family member need Malasakit-brand assistance — the consolidated PCSO, DOH-MAIFIP, and PhilHealth window — while being treated at TCPGH, the practical path is going to CVMC directly rather than looking for a desk inside TCPGH that doesn't exist. Our Malasakit Center guide explains what the program covers and what documents to bring, and our DOH-MAIFIP guide covers that specific assistance program.
Is Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital PhilHealth-accredited?
Yes. TCPGH holds PhilHealth accreditation with validity through the end of 2026, meaning PhilHealth members can use their coverage for admissions and applicable services at the hospital. We don't have confirmed detail on which specific named PhilHealth benefit packages (beyond general hospitalization) TCPGH is accredited for, so we're not listing packages we can't verify — a hospital's accreditation can cover general hospitalization while separately requiring named accreditations for specific benefit packages like GAMOT or cancer screening, and we're not going to claim TCPGH holds those without a source confirming it.
If you're weighing whether a bill at TCPGH — or any government hospital — is something you can manage, our guide on what to do if you can't pay a hospital bill covers the general options available regardless of which facility you end up at. And because TCPGH itself doesn't host a Malasakit Center, that guide is worth reading alongside the CVMC redirect above rather than assuming a single desk will resolve everything.
How do I contact Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital?
TCPGH is located on Luna St., Centro 6, Tuguegarao City. A published phone number or general contact line was not available from the sources we checked, so we're not going to guess one. If you need to reach the hospital directly, confirming a current number through the Tuguegarao city government's own channels is the more reliable route than a third-party listing.

Conclusion
Tuguegarao City People's General Hospital is a 68-bed, city-run Level 1 hospital administered by the City Government of Tuguegarao, with exactly two officially confirmed fees — a ₱50 OPD priority number and a ₱100 medical certificate — and PhilHealth accreditation through 2026. It has no Malasakit Center of its own; that assistance window sits at Cagayan Valley Medical Center instead. For anything beyond those two fees, a PhilHealth member admitted to a ward bed should still see most or all of the bill absorbed through case-rate coverage.
