Superficial Nasal Dermoid Excision: Early Surgery Prevents Complications

Nasal dermoids are congenital lesions that can become infected or extend deeper if untreated. Early surgical excision is recommended.

For superficial nasal dermoid excision, MOH benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 2,100 – 4,400
• Anaesthetist: Not benchmarked separately

Coverage is generally favourable:
• Congenital condition
• Medically necessary excision

Imaging confirming depth and risk supports approval.

Early intervention prevents complex surgery later.
