Extensive Burn Debridement: Early Surgery Saves Outcomes

Extensive burns require prompt debridement to remove dead tissue and reduce infection risk. Timing and expertise are critical.

What It Costs

For extensive burn debridement, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,500 – 5,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,200 – 2,000
ICU care and repeat procedures may increase costs.

What’s Typically Covered

Coverage is generally strong:
• Classified as emergency trauma care
• Hospitalisation and ICU benefits apply

Insurance Tip

Ensure repeat debridements are authorised as medically necessary follow-ups.

Conclusion

Early burn surgery improves survival. Insurance should never be a barrier.
