At ACE Surgery, we understand that considering a surgical or endoscopic procedure can feel overwhelming. Patients deserve clarity, reassurance, and the confidence to plan their care journey with peace of mind. Financial transparency is an important part of this process — and we believe every patient should feel supported, informed, and secure from the very beginning.
To help our patients and their families make clear decisions, we follow the Ministry of Health (MOH) Fee Benchmarks, which outline typical surgeon’s fees for routine private-sector procedures in Singapore. These benchmarks were introduced to uphold integrity, fairness, and transparency across the healthcare system, ensuring that patients — including international patients who may be unfamiliar with local pricing — have a trusted reference for expected cost ranges.
Using these benchmarks helps protect the rights of every patient by providing a structured, nationally guided framework for fees. It also reassures patients that the costs they see are aligned with Singapore’s high standards of medical ethics and accountability.
MOH publishes benchmark fee ranges for private-sector surgeons, anaesthetists and hospital charges. These benchmarks aim to:
Patients may request the Table of Surgical Procedures (TOSP Codes) for their recommended procedure during the financial consultation session. This lets patients cross-reference the MOH benchmark range directly.
