Open Repair of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Open repair is required when EVAR is unsuitable or in emergency rupture scenarios.

MOH Fee Benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 15,500 – 22,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 4,200 – 6,200

Coverage is generally robust for:
• Life-threatening aortic surgery
• ICU and prolonged inpatient care

Ensure emergency status is clearly recorded.

Open AAA repair saves lives. Insurance adequacy is critical.
