Marginal Excision of Tumour-Like Lesions (Lower Limb): Balancing Safety and Function

Tumour-like lesions often require marginal excision to remove abnormal tissue while preserving function.

For marginal excision of lower-limb lesions, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,400 – 3,600
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 750 – 1,200

Coverage is generally available when:
• Surgery is medically necessary
• Hospital or day surgery benefits apply
• Pathology confirms diagnosis

Check whether pathology and imaging are reimbursed separately.

Careful excision protects both health and mobility. Insurance planning protects finances.
