Spinal Decompression Surgery: Relieving Pressure, Managing Risk

Spinal decompression is used to treat nerve compression from disc herniation or spinal stenosis, often causing pain, numbness, or weakness.

What It Costs

MOH benchmarks typically reflect:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 12,000 – 22,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 3,000 – 4,500
Imaging, implants, and rehabilitation add significantly to cost.

What’s Typically Covered

Coverage is usually available when:
• Neurological symptoms are documented
• Surgery is medically necessary
• Hospitalisation benefits apply

Insurance Tip

Confirm whether spinal implants or cages are capped. They are often high-cost items.

Conclusion

Spinal surgery restores nerve function. But insurance preparation protects finances.
