Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI / TAVR)

TAVI replaces a diseased aortic valve via catheter-based techniques, often for patients at high surgical risk.

MOH Fee Benchmarks indicate:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 22,000 – 33,000
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 5,500 – 8,200

Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Structural heart intervention
• Device, ICU, and inpatient care (subject to limits)

Check prosthetic device sub-limits and obtain pre-authorisation.

TAVI transforms outcomes for high-risk patients. Insurance adequacy is critical.
