Laser Excision of Burns Scar or Tattoo (2–5% TBSA): Treating Larger Symptomatic Areas


When symptomatic scars extend over a larger surface, laser excision becomes more time-consuming and resource-intensive.
What It Costs
Typical MOH-aligned fees:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 1,300 – 2,500
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is more likely when:
• Scars are burn-related
• Functional impairment is documented
Insurance Tip
Include TBSA percentage and functional limitation in clinical notes.
Conclusion
As surface area increases, so does the importance of precise documentation.
