Wide Excision of Malignant Skin Tumours (Single Site): Clearing Cancer with Adequate Margins
Malignant skin tumours often require wide excision to ensure clear margins and reduce recurrence risk. The extent depends on tumour type, size, and location.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Surgeon fee: SGD 3,500 – 6,500
• Anaesthetist: Not typically required
Reconstruction or grafting is billed separately.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive plans cover:
• Medically necessary cancer excision
• Pathology and margin assessment
• Day surgery or hospitalisation when needed
Insurance Tip
Ensure pathology reports explicitly state malignancy and margin requirements.
Conclusion
Adequate margins save lives. Insurance should support definitive cancer clearance.
