The cost of a Nissen Fundoplication may vary depending on factors such as the medical facility, the complexity of the procedure and the individual’s medical insurance coverage. 

Is Nissen Fundoplication Surgery Covered By Insurance?

Yes, nissen fundoplication surgery is typically covered by insurance if you have purchased an Integrated Shield Plan in Singapore. This plan enhances the basic MediShield Life coverage, providing more comprehensive protection for procedures like nissen fundoplication surgery.

The amount your insurance can cover depends on your Integrated Shield Plan and the specific coverage details. Typically, the plan can cover a significant portion of the surgery cost, including hospital fees and surgeon’s fees, but the exact amount varies based on your policy and the type of ward chosen. It’s best to consult with your insurer for precise information.

If G&L Surgical is on the panel of your insurer, you will receive a Letter of Guarantee, eliminating the need for a deposit before your surgery. You can view the list of our affiliated insurance panels here. If your insurance provider is not listed, please contact us, and our team will assist you in navigating the process.

The out-of-pocket cost for an nissen fundoplication surgery depends on your insurance coverage. After insurance covers its portion, you may need to pay for any deductible, co-payment, or expenses not covered by your plan. The remaining amount can often be paid using a combination of Medisave and cash, depending on the total bill. Reach out to our team to find out the exact out-of-pocket cash you may need to provide.

  3. Verify Coverage: Confirm that Nissen fundoplication surgery is covered under your insurance plan. Coverage may depend on whether the surgery is considered medically necessary to treat your condition.
  4. Check for Out-of-Pocket Costs: Even if the surgery is covered, review your insurance plan for any co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses that may apply.
  5. Post-Surgery Claim: After the Nissen fundoplication surgery, G&L Surgical will submit the claim to your insurance provider for processing.
