The surgeon's fee is one of three parts of a surgical bill. The anaesthetist's fee and the day-surgery fee are billed separately, and the clinic puts all three in your written estimate.

Which row applies to you depends on the grade, which is exactly what the first examination settles. The grades are explained at piles grades 1 to 4, and the procedures at laser treatment and piles surgery.

Paying for piles treatment with Medisave and insurance

Surgical piles procedures are day surgery, and MediSave can be used for them within limits set by MOH and your own MediSave balance. The clinic confirms your eligibility. Integrated Shield Plans commonly cover the rest of a day-surgery admission, subject to your deductible and co-insurance.

Write in with your situation

Use the contact page to describe your symptoms and, if you have one, your hospital plan. No phone call is needed.

Come in for the examination

The grade is confirmed in the clinic, and only then does a cost figure mean anything. The examination is always your choice on the day.

Receive an exact quote

The clinic quotes for the option that fits your grade, after the examination, and confirms what Medisave or your insurance covers before anything is scheduled.

03

What changes the cost of piles treatment

Four things move the figure, and three of them are only known after an examination.

a
The grade1 to 4
Higher grades need more involved procedures. A grade 2 that settles with banding costs very differently from a grade 4 that needs surgery.
b
The procedurebanding to surgery
A clinic procedure such as banding sits at one end of the table; laser, stapled and excision procedures involve operating time, anaesthesia and facility fees.
c
Day surgery or a staywhere it is done
Going home the same day costs less than a short hospital stay. This is also the distinction that usually matters for Medisave and insurance.
d
First or repeat treatmentyour history
Piles that return after previous treatment can need a different procedure than piles being treated for the first time.

Cost questions, answered directly

Because the grade and the procedure decide the cost, and neither is known until you are examined. This page shows the surgeon's and anaesthetist's fees from the low end of the national benchmark and who helps pay; the clinic's written estimate, after the examination, shows the rest.

Ask when you write in. Whether MediSave applies to banding depends on how it is done and billed, and the clinic confirms it for your case before anything is scheduled.

Yes. The clinic works with corporate insurance schemes and Integrated Shield Plans, including extended panels, for Singaporeans, Singapore Permanent Residents and foreigners, and confirms your specific coverage with you before anything is scheduled.

That is a fair question, and it is one for the clinic to answer directly: ask it when you write in. This page does not set clinic policy.
