ERCP (Endoscopic Bile Duct Procedure): Complex Endoscopy, Complex Billing
ERCP is used to diagnose and treat bile duct and pancreatic conditions, including stone removal and stent placement.
What It Costs
For ERCP, MOH benchmarks typically reflect:
• Specialist fee: SGD 3,000 – 6,000
• Anaesthetist: SGD 1,000 – 1,600
Therapeutic interventions significantly increase costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually strong:
• Considered therapeutic GI intervention
• Often classified as day surgery or inpatient
• Subject to deductibles and co-insurance
Insurance Tip
Check whether stents and consumables are reimbursed separately. They can be costly.
Conclusion
ERCP is powerful but resource-intensive. Insurance clarity is critical.
