Major Tendon and Soft Tissue Release: Restoring Movement Comes at a Cost
Severe tendon or soft tissue contractures can significantly restrict movement and quality of life. When physiotherapy and conservative treatments fail, surgical release becomes necessary to restore mobility.
What It Costs
For major tendon or soft tissue release procedures, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,200 – 6,700
• Anaesthetist: Typically included as part of surgical care when required
Additional costs may include imaging, hospital stay, and post-operative rehabilitation.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually favourable when:
• Functional impairment is clearly documented
• Surgery is medically necessary
• Hospitalisation or day surgery benefits apply
Rehabilitation may be capped or subject to separate limits.
Insurance Tip
Check whether post-surgical physiotherapy is included. Successful outcomes depend on it.
Conclusion
Restoring movement doesn’t end in the operating room. Insurance should support the full recovery journey.
