Mohs Surgery for Skin Cancer: Precision Comes at a Price
Mohs micrographic surgery is considered the gold standard for certain skin cancers, offering precise removal while preserving healthy tissue. That precision, however, comes with specialist-level pricing.
What It Costs
For Mohs surgery without reconstruction, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 900 – 1,800
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required
Additional reconstruction or pathology may increase total costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Because Mohs surgery treats confirmed skin cancer:
• It is usually covered as medically necessary
• Oncology-related benefits often apply
• Reconstruction may be billed separately
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether post-Mohs reconstruction is covered under the same claim or treated as a separate procedure.
Conclusion
Skin cancer treatment prioritises accuracy over simplicity. Insurance that recognises specialised oncologic care provides critical financial protection.
