Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): Advanced Imaging from the Inside
Endoscopic ultrasound combines endoscopy with ultrasound to assess deep GI structures such as the pancreas, bile ducts, and lymph nodes.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks typically indicate:
• Specialist fee: SGD 2,500 – 4,500
• Anaesthetist: SGD 800 – 1,300
Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration adds to cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually favourable when:
• Used for cancer staging or diagnosis
• Classified as medically necessary
• Pre-authorisation is obtained
Insurance Tip
Always request pre-approval for EUS. It is often considered advanced diagnostics.
Conclusion
EUS delivers high diagnostic value. But insurance recognition is essential.
