Creation of Tracheostomy (± Image Guidance)

Tracheostomy creates a surgical airway for prolonged ventilation, airway obstruction, or neurological impairment.

MOH Fee Benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,200 – 4,500
• Anaesthetist fee: Not available

Most plans cover:
• Medically necessary airway access
• Inpatient or ICU procedures

Clarify whether the tracheostomy is temporary or long-term.

Securing the airway saves lives. Insurance should not delay intervention.
