Synthetic Graft for AV Access: When Native Veins Aren’t Enough
A synthetic AV graft provides dialysis access when fistula creation is not feasible due to vessel quality or anatomy.
What It Costs
• Surgeon fee benchmark: SGD 7,300 – 11,200
• Anaesthetist fee benchmark: Not available
What’s Typically Covered
• Medically required dialysis access surgery
• Inpatient/day surgery depending on patient risk
Insurance Tip
Ask the surgeon to include why a fistula was unsuitable (vein mapping results help).
Conclusion
Grafts keep dialysis possible. Coverage should support durable access creation.
