Gastroscopy Fees at Richmond Gastroenterology Centre

Clear and Transparent Pricing for Your Gastroscopy Procedure

How Much Does a Gastroscopy Cost in Singapore?

The cost of a gastroscopy in Singapore generally falls between $650 and $1,100 (before GST), excluding hospital and consumable fees. Several factors influence this pricing, such as whether the procedure is a basic screening or a more complex diagnostic gastroscopy. Diagnostic procedures are usually more expensive due to the need for additional treatments, such as biopsies or lesion removals. Costs are typically lower for outpatient day surgeries, whereas inpatient procedures requiring an overnight stay are more expensive.

Public hospitals offer more budget-friendly options due to government subsidies for Singapore citizens, but waiting times are often longer, as patients usually require referrals from polyclinics. Private hospitals, on the other hand, offer faster appointments and personalized care but come at a higher cost.

Insurance coverage varies by plan, and Medisave can be used to offset part of the cost, although the amount claimable depends on the CPF Board's withdrawal limits. Some private hospitals also provide cashless eligibility, allowing patients to avoid out-of-pocket payments if their insurance fully covers the procedure. For those with private health insurance or Integrated Shield Plans, the out-of-pocket costs will depend on the specifics of the policy.

Can I Use My MediSave to Pay for a Gastroscopy in Singapore?

Yes, you can use Medisave to pay for a gastroscopy in Singapore, though claimable amounts vary based on CPF Board withdrawal limits. Medisave typically covers a portion of the procedure. For more details on costs and claims, contact our staff at Richmond Gastroenterology Centre for assistance.

Can I Use My Integrated Shield Plan for a Gastroscopy?

Richmond Gastro Clinic partners with major insurance providers, including NTUC Income, Great Eastern, Singlife Aviva, and AIA. If your Integrated Shield Plan covers gastroscopy, we can assist you with insurance claims to minimize your out-of-pocket costs.

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 Gastroscopy?

With an Integrated Shield Plan, Singaporeans can receive additional coverage beyond what is provided by MediShield Life for private healthcare. If you have also purchased a hospital plan rider from your insurer, which covers both the deductible and co-insurance, you might qualify for a cashless procedure during your hospital stay.

To confirm your eligibility for a cashless procedure, it’s recommended to contact your insurer or reach out to us for more information. We're here to assist you.

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.
