Total Hip Replacement: Restoring Function, One Joint at a Time
Hip replacement is performed for arthritis, fractures, or avascular necrosis. It significantly improves pain and mobility when conservative care fails.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 18,000 – 28,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 3,500 – 5,000
Implants and extended hospitalisation increase costs further.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary joint replacement
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
• Imaging and immediate post-op care
Insurance Tip
Ask whether revision surgery is covered if the implant fails in future years.
Conclusion
Hip replacement is life-changing surgery. Insurance clarity ensures long-term protection.
