Dermatology and Co Paediatric ✓ ACRA Verified

For a private specialist paediatric dermatology consultation, expect to pay S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups as a self-paying patient at a private clinic such as this. If your child was referred via a polyclinic or GP letter to a public hospital specialist outpatient clinic, subsidised fees for Singapore Citizens run S$30–80, though non-urgent wait times of 4–12 weeks are common through that route. Investigations are billed on top of the consultation fee — a skin swab or allergy patch test typically adds S$60–200, and any minor procedure such as a biopsy or cryotherapy will carry a separate charge. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate that separates insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket costs before proceeding.

No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the current listing data for Dermatology and Co Paediatric. Before booking, you should independently verify two things: first, that the clinic premises hold a valid MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — searchable on the MOH licensee directory; second, that the consulting doctor is on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg, which will show their registration status, specialist accreditation (in this case, Dermatology or Paediatric Medicine), and any disciplinary history. For a paediatric dermatology practice, the ideal credential beyond basic SMC registration is a specialist accreditation in Dermatology with paediatric sub-speciality training, or dual accreditation in Paediatric Medicine and Dermatology. A fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP or FRCP) or the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) in Dermatology is the meaningful additional signal. Confirm both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before your child's first appointment.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life may cover private specialist consultations and day procedures for your child, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and, where a procedure is planned, a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the appointment to avoid claim disputes afterwards. Note that children must be covered under their own or a parent's IP for the coverage to apply. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient claims under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — relevant if a chronic skin condition such as severe eczema or psoriasis falls within the listed CDMP conditions — with outpatient withdrawal limits of S$500–700 per year. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session at the clinic so you receive an itemised pre-treatment estimate in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
