Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and EMG: Diagnosing Nerve and Muscle Disorders
NCS and EMG tests assess nerve and muscle function and are frequently used to diagnose neuropathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, or muscle disease.
What It Costs
Typical MOH-aligned private fees include:
• Neurologist fee: SGD 800 – 1,600
Testing multiple limbs or muscle groups increases total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Diagnostic neurology tests
• Specialist outpatient procedures
However, multiple tests in one session may hit outpatient caps.
Insurance Tip
Ask whether EMG and NCS are billed separately or bundled together under one claim.
Conclusion
Precision diagnostics are key in neurology. But insurance structure determines accessibility.
