Benign Tumour Excision (Lower Limb, Under GA): When “Benign” Still Means Surgery
Benign soft-tissue tumours in the lower limb may still require excision under general anaesthesia due to size or location.
What It Costs
For benign tumour excision under general anaesthesia, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 1,100 – 2,100
• Anaesthetist: Included as part of GA care
What’s Typically Covered
Most plans cover:
• Medically indicated tumour removal
• Day surgery or hospitalisation
• Anaesthesia
Insurance Tip
Ensure the tumour is documented as symptomatic or growing, not cosmetic.
Conclusion
“Benign” does not mean trivial. Insurance clarity matters even for non-cancer surgery.
