Complex Soft Tissue Reconstruction After Injury: When Repair Is Not Optional
Trauma, infection, or tumour removal can leave complex soft tissue defects that require surgical reconstruction. These procedures are essential for function, not aesthetics.
What It Costs
For complex soft tissue reconstruction, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 6,700 – 9,400
• Anaesthetist: Typically required depending on complexity
Total costs often exceed SGD 10,000 when hospital charges are included.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary reconstruction
• Hospitalisation and surgical fees
• Anaesthesia and inpatient care
Cosmetic exclusions usually do not apply in these cases.
Insurance Tip
Ensure the primary cause (trauma, cancer, infection) is clearly stated in medical records to avoid classification issues.
Conclusion
Reconstructive surgery restores function and insurance recognition is critical to financial protection.
