Dermatology & Co ✓ ACRA Verified

Private dermatology specialist consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first appointment and S$80–180 for follow-ups. Common investigations billed on top include skin patch testing, swabs or cultures, and blood panels (S$60–200), as well as procedures such as cryotherapy, biopsies, or laser treatments which vary widely in cost. For paediatric patients, parents should also account for any prescription skincare or medication costs. GST applies to private medical services. If you hold an Integrated Shield Plan layered on MediShield Life, confirm pre-authorisation requirements with your insurer before the consultation — and for any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portion before committing.

No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration has been provided to KakiList for Dermatology & Co. Every legitimate private specialist clinic is required to hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory online. Every practising doctor must be registered on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm their registration status, specialist accreditation (in this case, Dermatology), and any disciplinary history. For a dermatologist, a Fellowship of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) in Dermatology is the recognised specialist credential beyond basic SMC registration. Parents seeking paediatric skin care should specifically confirm that the consulting doctor holds accreditation in Dermatology and has experience managing paediatric cases. Verify both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry independently before booking — neither alone is sufficient.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life can cover private specialist consultations, day procedures, and inpatient stays, subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider terms. For paediatric dermatology, confirm whether your child is covered under your own IP or a separate children's rider, and obtain pre-authorisation or a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned procedure. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits (S$500 per year general outpatient, S$700 per year for chronic conditions listed under the Chronic Disease Management Programme). Paediatric eczema and selected chronic skin conditions may qualify under CDMP — confirm eligibility directly with the clinic. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling session so you receive an itemised estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and cash portions before paying any deposit.
