What Affects the Cost of Gallbladder Surgery in Singapore?
Gallbladder surgery cost is affected by three main factors:
Traditional open gallbladder surgery will typically cost less than Laparoscopic (keyhole) cholecystectomy as the latter is more difficult to perform.
Private hospital charges vary by facility and ward class. For example, a single-bedded room costs more than a shared ward.
Your Integrated Shield Plan (IP) or private insurance coverage, if applicable, determines how much of the total bill your insurer covers, and how much you need to pay out-of-pocket.
Is the Cost of Gallbladder Surgery Covered by Insurance?
Yes. Gallbladder surgery costs are typically covered if you hold an Integrated Shield Plan (IP) in Singapore. Private insurers may also cover gallbladder surgery based on your plan.

-
The tier of your IP or the level of coverage as stated in your private insurance plan
