NOTE
1. ‘-‘ denotes data is not applicable
2. ‘n/a’ denotes data with less than 10 cases
3. Figures shown as the Avg. Inpatient Bill and Avg. Day Surgery Bill include GST and are based on the median of actual transacted fees across the medical institutions for each bill component, from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2020. They therefore provide an estimate of fees but do not necessarily sum up to the total bill amount. Figures in this table will be updated annually.
4. The fees listed under Avg. Inpatient Bill and Avg. Day Surgery Bill are before insurance (e.g. MediShield Life, Integrated Shield Plans) and MediSave payouts.
5. The day surgery setting refers to operations done in hospital, with a stay of less than 24 hours.
6. Fee ranges under Surgeon Fee Benchmark and Anaesthetist Fee Benchmark exclude GST
DISCLAIMER
To ensure that there are adequate cases for meaningful comparisons, bill amounts for settings with less than 10 cases will not be shown. Should you wish to find out more, please check with the healthcare providers/ hospitals directly.
