Here are some ways to verify if a laboratory is licensed for COVID-19 RT-PCR testing:

1. Visit the DOH website for the complete list of licensed COVID-19 testing laboratories at https://hfsrb.doh.gov.ph/1729-2/

2. Check the daily-updated list of the licensed COVID-19 testing laboratories in BEAT COVID-19 Situational Report uploaded on the DOH official Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/OfficialDOHgov/)

3. Consult with or seek advice from your local health centers and Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Units health care provider (BHERT, rural/city health units or health centers) in case you need to get tested.

4. If you have doubts on the authenticity of the laboratory or your results, ask for a copy of their readily available license specific for COVID-19 RT-PCR testing valid until Dec. 31, 2021 only and usually posted in their vicinity.

ADVISORY: The Department of Health is not endorsing any specific laboratories and does not support any promotional advertisements on RT-PCR tests that may lead to indiscriminate testing.

DOH to look into further lowering RT-PCR test cost

Amid complaints on social media and the surge of COVID-19 infections, the Department of Health (DOH) on Thursday said it will look into lowering the prices of RT-PCR tests in the country.

In September 2021, the DOH said RT-PCR testing in public facilities should be priced P2,450 to P2,800 at maximum and P2,940 to P3,360 in private facilities.

The previous price caps for RT-PCR test were at P3,800 for public facilities and P4,500 to P5,000 for private hospitals and laboratories.

“It’s now, I think for public, it’s about 2,800 thereabouts for plate-based RT-PCR and for cartridge-based, it’s about 2,400 thereabouts,” Duque said.

“And for the private, it’s a bit higher because they have to shoulder all the testing inputs. The test kits, the human resource, the overhead cost, etc,” he added.

Duque said the government will study if prices can be brought down further.

"But we will still see if it can all be brought down further so that this will unburden our people of what they say is costly testing,” he said.

The DOH recently disclosed an updated policy making COVID-19 testing optional for asymptomatic close contacts of confirmed cases and persons with mild symptoms.
