The cost of skin lump removal surgery in Singapore is affected by several factors:
Larger or deeper lumps require a wider excision and more surgical time.
Removing two or more lumps in one procedure falls under a higher fee benchmark.
A lump that has recurred, is stuck to surrounding tissue, or is infected, inflamed, or ruptured is more involved to remove.
Lumps on the face or over a joint flexure carry a higher fee range, as noted in the MOH benchmarks.
A clinic procedure room or day surgery centre is generally more affordable than a private hospital.
您的综合医疗保险计划 (IP) 或私人保险决定了您的保险公司承担多少费用以及您需要自付多少费用。.
A skin lump excision is typically covered by Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) in Singapore when the procedure is medically indicated, for example where the lump is growing, symptomatic, infected, or needs to be examined to rule out malignancy. Removal performed purely for cosmetic reasons is typically not covered. Check with your insurer before proceeding.
您的知识产权保险或私人保险的承保范围取决于:
您的计划级别和保障范围
你被安排到哪个病房?
Whether the procedure is assessed as medically necessary
您的外科医生是否在您的保险公司指定医生名单中?
在安排手术之前,请直接联系您的保险公司确认您的保险范围和条件。.
If Dr. Thng is on your insurer’s panel and your plan covers the procedure, your insurer may issue a Letter of Guarantee (LOG) before the procedure. A LOG removes the need for an upfront deposit. If your insurer is not on Dr. Thng’s panel, contact the team directly and they will assist you with the process.
The surgeon’s fee does not capture every cost associated with a skin lump excision. Additional expenses may include:
Pre-procedure consultation and clinical assessment: Initial appointment with Dr. Thng to examine the lump and confirm whether excision is appropriate.
Local anaesthesia or sedation fees: Charged where local anaesthesia or sedation is used during the procedure.
Pathology or histology fees: Apply if the excised lump is sent to a laboratory for testing to rule out malignancy.
Post-procedure consultation, dressing changes, or suture removal: Follow-up visits to check the wound and remove stitches.
Wound care supplies or medication: Dressings, or medication such as antibiotics where a cyst is infected.
这些额外费用可能可以通过您的综合医疗保险计划报销。您的医疗团队和保险公司会告知您哪些费用适用于您的计划。.
