Colonoscopy Fees at Richmond Gastroenterology Centre
Clear and Transparent Pricing for Your Colonoscopy Procedure
How Much Does a Colonoscopy Cost in Singapore?
The cost of a colonoscopy in Singapore typically ranges from $1,200 to $1,800 (before GST) for the surgeon's fee, excluding insurance claimables, hospital, and consumable fees. Your insurance claimables will depend on your specific insurance plan. For detailed cost information, you can refer to the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) Historical Transacted Bill Sizes and Fee Benchmarks.
Several factors influence the cost of a colonoscopy, including whether additional procedures are required, whether it’s performed as an outpatient or inpatient procedure, and whether you choose a public or private facility. A general colonoscopy screening tends to be more affordable, while a diagnostic colonoscopy, which involves investigating specific health conditions, may be more expensive. Additional procedures, such as lesion removal or tissue sampling, can also increase costs due to the complexity and extra equipment involved.
Outpatient procedures are generally more affordable since they don’t require an overnight stay. Public hospitals offer lower costs due to government subsidies, but they often involve longer waiting times, as a referral from a polyclinic is required. For a faster, more personalized process, private hospitals are an alternative option.

Can I Use Medisave for My Colonoscopy?
Yes, Medisave can be used to offset a portion of your colonoscopy fees. Patients can claim between $950 to $1,550 from their Medisave, depending on whether polyps are removed during the procedure. Consult our staff for more detailed advice on how much you can claim from Medisave.
Can I Use My Integrated Shield Plan for a Colonoscopy?
Richmond Gastro Clinic works with most major Integrated Shield Plans (IP), including NTUC Income, Great Eastern, AIA, and Prudential. These plans often allow for cashless procedures, but it's essential to verify your coverage beforehand. Our financial counsellors can help you process your claims for a smooth payment experience.
Is Colonoscopy Claimable By Insurance?
Insurance claims are applicable for colonoscopies, as the procedure is classified under hospitalization. Additionally, the fees for a colonoscopy fall within the Ministry of Health (MOH) fee benchmark guidelines, which all endoscopists adhere to strictly.
I Have Private Health Insurance. How Can I Avoid Paying Cash for My Colonoscopy?
With an Integrated Shield Plan, Singaporeans can receive extra coverage beyond what MediShield Life provides for private healthcare. If you’ve purchased a hospital plan rider that covers both the deductible and co-insurance, you may qualify for a cashless procedure during your hospitalization.
To confirm your eligibility for a cashless colonoscopy, contact your insurer or reach out to us for further assistance. We're here to help!
What Is Cashless Eligibility for a Procedure?
Cashless eligibility allows patients to undergo a procedure or hospitalization without needing to pay any out-of-pocket fees upfront. This option depends on a combination of factors, including the specifics of the individual’s insurance policy, CPF claimable amounts (if Medisave applies), and the procedure's assigned Table Code.
To confirm if you're eligible for cashless payment, it’s important to first check with your insurer regarding your policy details. Once confirmed, provide our staff with your insurance information, and we will help determine whether you qualify for cashless eligibility.
If you're considering a gastroscopy or have questions about cashless eligibility, contact Richmond Gastroenterology Centre at +65 6517 9958 or reach out via WhatsApp at +65 8228 8469. Our team is ready to assist you with personalized care and provide a seamless experience.
