Shoulder Arthroscopy: Treating Pain and Limited Motion
Shoulder arthroscopy treats rotator cuff tears, impingement, and joint instability. These conditions often worsen without surgical intervention.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 5,000 – 9,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,500 – 2,300
Implants and prolonged rehabilitation add to cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually favourable when:
• Functional limitation is documented
• Conservative therapy has failed
• Hospitalisation or day surgery benefits apply
Insurance Tip
Ensure implant costs (anchors, screws) are reimbursed. They are often capped.
Conclusion
Shoulder surgery improves daily function. But insurance gaps can limit access.
