Radical Prostatectomy: Cancer Surgery with Long-Term Implications
Radical prostatectomy involves complete removal of the prostate to treat cancer. It is major surgery with long-term functional considerations.
What It Costs
MOH benchmarks typically indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 10,000 – 18,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,800 – 2,800
Hospitalisation, imaging, and rehabilitation add further costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually robust:
• Classified as cancer surgery
• Oncology benefits apply
• Subject to policy lifetime or annual caps
Insurance Tip
Check whether post-surgical rehabilitation and follow-up imaging fall under oncology benefits or general outpatient limits.
Conclusion
Cancer surgery protects life. But insurance planning protects long-term finances.
