Split-Thickness Skin Grafting: Covering Defects After Trauma or Surgery
Skin grafting is commonly required after burns, trauma, or tumour excision when primary closure is not possible.
What It Costs
For split-thickness skin grafting, MOH benchmarks show:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,500 – 5,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 900 – 1,500
Donor site care and hospital stay add to total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Coverage is usually available when:
• Grafting is medically necessary
• Linked to trauma, burns, or cancer
• Hospitalisation benefits apply
Insurance Tip
Confirm whether donor site treatment is included under the same claim.
Conclusion
Skin grafting restores coverage and function. Insurance should support complete healing.
