Nasal Endoscopy with Biopsy: A Short Test with Real Costs
Nasal endoscopy allows ENT specialists to directly visualise the nasal passages and sinuses. When abnormal tissue is found, a biopsy may be taken during the same procedure to rule out infection, inflammation, or malignancy.
What It Costs
For nasal endoscopy with biopsy, MOH benchmarks typically reflect:
• Surgeon / specialist fee: SGD 900 – 1,800
• Anaesthetist: Not always required (local anaesthesia common)
Additional charges may apply for pathology and follow-up consultations.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage depends on outpatient benefits:
• Diagnostic ENT procedures are often covered
• Pathology may be billed separately
• Annual outpatient limits may apply
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether diagnostic biopsies fall under general outpatient limits or specialist sub-limits.
Conclusion
Quick diagnostic procedures can still carry meaningful costs. Insurance clarity avoids unpleasant surprises.
