Major Excision of Benign Upper-Limb Tumours: Preserving Strength and Function

Benign tumours in the upper limb may require major excision to avoid nerve compression or loss of function.

For major excision biopsy of benign upper-limb tumours, MOH benchmarks list:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,600 – 6,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,000 – 1,600

Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary tumour removal
• Anaesthesia and hospitalisation

Ask whether nerve monitoring or imaging is reimbursed separately.

Upper-limb surgery is about precision. Insurance should match that level of care.
