AV Fistula Angioplasty (± Stent): Keeping Dialysis Access Working
Angioplasty widens narrowed fistula segments; stents may be used in select cases to maintain patency.
What It Costs
• Surgeon fee benchmark: SGD 2,200 – 5,000
• Anaesthetist fee benchmark: SGD 950 – 1,500
What’s Typically Covered
• Medically necessary angioplasty for access stenosis
• Hospital/day procedure charges (plus devices if used)
Insurance Tip
Ask the provider to document complexity factors (multiple lesions, resistant stenosis) when relevant.
Conclusion
Access angioplasty prevents loss of dialysis lifelines. Coverage is typically supportive when clearly justified.
