Mitral Valve Repair or Replacement Using Transcatheter Technique (e.g. MitraClip)

Transcatheter mitral repair treats severe mitral regurgitation in patients unsuitable for open surgery.

MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 18,000 – 27,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 4,500 – 6,800

Coverage varies by insurer:
• Often covered for symptomatic severe regurgitation
• Requires specialist justification

Include echo findings, surgical risk assessment, and symptom severity.

Minimally invasive valve repair expands treatment options. Coverage must be confirmed early.
