Minor contractures of the lower limb can restrict movement and cause discomfort. Surgical release is often recommended when physiotherapy alone is insufficient.
What It Costs
For minor contracture release (lower limb), MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,000 – 2,900
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is generally available when:
• Functional limitation is documented
• Surgery is medically necessary
• Day surgery benefits apply
Insurance Tip
Check whether post-procedure physiotherapy is included. Recovery often depends on it.
Conclusion
Even minor releases can improve mobility significantly. Insurance should support early intervention.
