Pacemaker Implantation: Regulating the Heart Long Term

Pacemakers regulate slow or irregular heart rhythms and often represent lifelong cardiac management rather than one-off treatment.

What It Costs

MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon / cardiologist fee: SGD 8,000 – 14,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,300
Device costs and follow-up programming add to total expense.

What’s Typically Covered

Coverage is generally available:
• Classified as medically necessary implantation
• Hospitalisation benefits apply
• Device replacement cycles may be capped

Insurance Tip

Confirm whether future battery replacements are covered under the same benefit category.

Conclusion

Pacemakers protect lives long-term. Insurance should protect finances just as reliably.
