Surgical Treatment for Functional Soft Tissue Disorders: Beyond Pain Relief


Some soft tissue disorders cause functional impairment rather than acute pain. Surgery aims to restore strength, mobility, and daily function.
What It Costs
For functional soft tissue surgical treatment, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,500 – 5,000
• Anaesthetist: Typically required
Post-operative therapy often follows.
What’s Typically Covered
Insurance usually reimburses when:
• Functional limitation is documented
• Surgery is medically indicated
• Rehabilitation benefits are included
Insurance Tip
Ask if occupational therapy and rehabilitation are covered they are key to functional recovery.
Conclusion
Function-focused surgery deserves function-focused insurance coverage.
