Echocardiography: Seeing the Heart in Motion
Echocardiography uses ultrasound to assess heart structure and function. It is a cornerstone test for murmurs, heart failure, and valve disease.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Cardiologist fee: SGD 700 – 1,400
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or contrast studies add cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Diagnostic echocardiograms
• Specialist interpretation
TEE may require day surgery or sedation benefits.
Insurance Tip
Ask whether TEE is classified differently from standard echo. It often triggers different limits.
Conclusion
Heart imaging is essential. But knowing which type you’re having matters financially.
