Closed Reduction of Major Joint Dislocation Under Anaesthesia
Closed reduction realigns a dislocated joint without open surgery, often requiring anaesthesia for pain control and muscle relaxation.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 1,200 – 2,800
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 600 – 1,000
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is generally strong for:
• Emergency joint dislocation management
• Day-care or inpatient treatment
Insurance Tip
Ensure the case is coded as acute dislocation, not elective manipulation.
Conclusion
Prompt reduction prevents complications. Insurance must support urgent care.
