The cost of an endoscopy in Singapore can range anywhere from $500 to $11,000. It varies a great deal depending on the type of procedure you plan to do. In general, there are a few components which will affect the final bill size for endoscopy.
The common components are:
- Doctor’s professional fee
- Hospital facility fee, sedation fee (if applicable)
- Fee for tissue samples taken for examination and related accessories (if applicable)
- Miscellaneous fees for other items used in relation to the procedure, e.g. gauze
You can also refer to the MOH website https://www.moh.gov.sg/cost-financing/bill-estimator for more detail.
It is difficult to tag a price to one single endoscopy procedure and it is best for you to speak with your doctor directly to get a ballpark figure.
The amount claimable from Medisave is $650 for gastroscopy and $950 - $1,550 for colonoscopy depending on whether any polyp has been removed and the number and size of the polyps.
You do not need to worry about the Medisave component as most endoscopy centres will help you to make the claim once you have indicated you wish to do so.
