Multiple Breast Lesion Biopsies: Diagnostic Precision at Scale
When more than one breast lesion requires biopsy, procedure time, imaging complexity, and interpretation workload increase substantially.
What It Costs
For vacuum-assisted biopsy of more than one lesion, MOH benchmarks list:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,300 – 4,700
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 650 – 800
Fees are higher when four or more lesions are biopsied.
What’s Typically Covered
Insurance may reimburse when:
• Procedures are medically indicated
• Pre-authorisation is obtained
• Outpatient limits are sufficient
Insurance Tip
If multiple biopsies are planned, ask for a single bundled pre-approval rather than separate approvals.
Conclusion
Diagnostic thoroughness comes at a cost. Insurance planning ensures it doesn’t become a financial burden.
