Endoscopic Sinus Surgery: Treating Chronic Sinusitis Surgically
When chronic sinusitis fails to respond to medication, endoscopic sinus surgery may be required to restore drainage and relieve symptoms.
What It Costs
For functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,500 – 6,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,000 – 1,600
Imaging and post-operative follow-ups add to total costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Chronic sinus surgery
• Hospitalisation or day surgery
• Anaesthesia and surgical fees
Outpatient-only policies may fall short.
Insurance Tip
Check whether pre-operative CT scans are reimbursed under outpatient imaging benefits.
Conclusion
Chronic sinus problems deserve definitive treatment. Insurance should support that step.
