Benign Tumour Excision (Lower Limb, Under GA): When “Benign” Still Means Surgery

Benign soft-tissue tumours in the lower limb may still require excision under general anaesthesia due to size or location.

What It Costs

For benign tumour excision under general anaesthesia, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 1,100 – 2,100
• Anaesthetist: Included as part of GA care

What’s Typically Covered

Most plans cover:
• Medically indicated tumour removal
• Day surgery or hospitalisation
• Anaesthesia

Insurance Tip

Ensure the tumour is documented as symptomatic or growing, not cosmetic.

Conclusion

“Benign” does not mean trivial. Insurance clarity matters even for non-cancer surgery.
