Subcutaneous Foreign Body Removal: Small Object, Surgical Precision

Foreign bodies embedded under the skin may require surgical removal, particularly when painful, infected, or difficult to locate.

What It Costs

For subcutaneous foreign body removal, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 500 – 2,200
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 600 – 950
Fees are higher in areas such as the face, palms, or soles.

What’s Typically Covered

Most plans cover:
• Medically necessary removal
• Infection or trauma-related indications

Insurance Tip

Specify location and difficulty of localization. This supports higher fee justification.

Conclusion

Minor surgery still requires proper coverage especially in sensitive areas.
