Unilateral Breast Duct Surgery: One Side, Serious Costs
When symptoms are isolated to one breast, a unilateral microdochectomy may be recommended. While less extensive than bilateral surgery, it remains a significant medical procedure.
What It Costs
For unilateral breast duct lesion surgery, MOH benchmarks list:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,800 – 3,900
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 850 – 1,200
Total costs typically range between SGD 3,700 and 5,000.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans will cover:
• Hospital or day surgery fees
• Anaesthesia and surgical costs
• Diagnostic pathology
However, policy deductibles often apply.
Insurance Tip
Breast surgery is usually covered. But policy sub-limits can still leave a gap. Always verify limits before scheduling.
Conclusion
Even one-sided breast surgery carries meaningful cost exposure. Insurance planning should reflect that reality.
