Neurovascular Island Flap Surgery: Precision Reconstruction
Neurovascular island flaps preserve blood supply and nerve function while reconstructing complex skin defects. These procedures demand high surgical skill and carry corresponding costs.
What It Costs
For neurovascular island flap reconstruction, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 6,700 – 9,400
• Anaesthetist: Not typically listed
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Reconstruction after cancer or trauma
• Hospitalisation and surgical fees
Coverage may be challenged if classified as cosmetic enhancement.
Insurance Tip
Ask your surgeon to document functional preservation (sensation, movement), not just aesthetic outcome.
Conclusion
When reconstruction protects nerve function, insurance recognition becomes more likely.
