Coronary Angioplasty and Stent Placement: Treating Heart Disease in Real Time
When blockages are found during angiography, angioplasty and stent placement may be performed immediately to restore blood flow.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks typically indicate:
• Cardiologist fee: SGD 12,000 – 20,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,800 – 2,800
Stents, consumables, and ICU monitoring increase total costs substantially.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Emergency or elective angioplasty
• Stents and surgical consumables
• Hospitalisation and ICU care
Coverage caps may apply to implants.
Insurance Tip
Check whether drug-eluting stents are capped or reimbursed at cost. They can significantly affect out-of-pocket exposure.
Conclusion
Cardiac intervention is time-critical. Insurance clarity must come before urgency strikes.
