What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,000 – 5,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,200 – 1,800
Stapled or advanced techniques increase cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage varies:
• Medically necessary surgery often covered
• Some plans classify haemorrhoids as elective

Insurance Tip
Ensure severity and failed conservative treatment are documented. This supports reimbursement.
Conclusion
Common doesn’t mean cheap. Documentation drives insurance outcomes.
