EEG (Electroencephalogram): Reading the Brain’s Electrical Signals
An EEG records electrical activity in the brain and is commonly ordered to investigate seizures, fainting episodes, unexplained confusion, or sleep disorders. While non-invasive, it is a specialist diagnostic test.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Neurologist fee: SGD 600 – 1,200
Sleep-deprived or prolonged EEG studies may increase the cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually available under:
• Specialist outpatient diagnostics
• Neurology investigation benefits
Extended or repeated EEGs may be subject to annual caps.
Insurance Tip
Check whether prolonged or sleep EEGs are reimbursed at higher rates or counted as separate tests.
Conclusion
EEG testing is painless. But insurance limits can be, if not checked in advance.
