Ureteroscopy and Stone Removal: Small Stones, Significant Costs
Kidney and ureteric stones can cause severe pain and complications. When stones don’t pass naturally, ureteroscopy allows direct removal.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 4,000 – 7,500
• Anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,200 – 1,800
Stents, imaging, and repeat procedures increase total costs.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Stone removal as medically necessary
• Hospitalisation or day surgery
• Anaesthesia and surgical consumables
Insurance Tip
Check whether stents and disposables are reimbursed separately. They often aren’t cheap.
Conclusion
Stone removal is urgent care. Insurance clarity keeps urgency from becoming financial stress.
