Brain Biopsy: Diagnosis at the Highest Level of Care
When imaging alone cannot provide answers, a brain biopsy may be required to confirm tumour type or neurological disease.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon / neurosurgeon fee: SGD 8,000 – 15,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 2,000 – 3,200
ICU care and pathology significantly add to total costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually strong:
• Classified as major neurosurgery
• Hospitalisation and oncology benefits apply
• Pre-authorisation mandatory
Insurance Tip
Check whether ICU stay and post-op imaging are included under the same benefit category.
Conclusion
High-stakes diagnosis requires high-level insurance support.
