Bone Biopsy with Cementing or Plate Fixation: Diagnosis with Structural Support
When a bone lesion weakens structural integrity, biopsy may be combined with cementing or plate fixation to prevent fracture while confirming diagnosis.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 6,000 – 9,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,800 – 2,600
Implants and pathology may add to total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary diagnostic bone surgery
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
Insurance Tip
Ensure documentation highlights fracture risk or structural compromise, not biopsy alone.
Conclusion
Diagnosis should not weaken the bone. Insurance should support protective surgery.
