Laser Excision of Burns Scar or Tattoo (2–5% TBSA): Treating Larger Symptomatic Areas

When symptomatic scars extend over a larger surface, laser excision becomes more time-consuming and resource-intensive.

Typical MOH-aligned fees:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 1,300 – 2,500
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required

Coverage is more likely when:
• Scars are burn-related
• Functional impairment is documented

Include TBSA percentage and functional limitation in clinical notes.

As surface area increases, so does the importance of precise documentation.
