Plantar Wart Excision or Laser Vaporisation: Treating Painful Foot Lesions
Plantar warts can be painful and resistant to topical treatment, especially when weight-bearing areas are involved. Surgical excision or laser vaporisation may be required.
What It Costs
For single plantar wart excision or laser treatment, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 300 – 900
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 550 – 900
Higher fees apply for larger or more complex lesions.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage may apply when:
• Walking or daily function is impaired
• Conservative treatment has failed
Insurance Tip
Document pain, functional limitation, or recurrence to support claims.
Conclusion
Foot lesions affect mobility. Insurance should recognise functional impact.
