Repeat Soft Tissue Surgery: When One Operation Isn’t Enough
In some cases, soft tissue surgery must be repeated due to recurrence, complications, or incomplete resolution. Repeat procedures carry higher complexity and cost.
What It Costs
For repeat or revision soft tissue surgery, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,600 – 7,000
• Anaesthetist: Typically required
Costs may increase due to scar tissue and longer operative time.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage may be restricted:
• Some plans limit repeat surgeries
• Pre-authorisation is often required
• Medical justification is closely reviewed
Insurance Tip
Always seek pre-approval for revision surgery even if the first procedure was covered.
Conclusion
Repeat surgery is never planned but insurance preparation makes it manageable.
