First specialist consultation at a private ENT clinic in Singapore typically runs S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. Investigations billed on top may include a hearing test or audiogram (S$80–200), nasal endoscopy, or a sleep study referral. Prescriptions and review appointments are charged separately. If a procedure is needed — grommets insertion, adenotonsillectomy, or direct laryngoscopy — day surgery costs vary widely (S$3,000–15,000+ depending on the procedure and ward class) and are subject to surgeon, anaesthetist, and facility fees. GST applies on private medical services. Any planned procedure should come with a written financial counselling estimate splitting Integrated Shield Plan coverage, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before you pay any deposit.

Every legitimate clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory online. Every practising doctor must also appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm registration status, specialist accreditation (in this case, Otorhinolaryngology), and any disciplinary history. No licences are recorded in this KakiList listing, so parents should verify both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry directly before booking. For surgical work, a Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS or FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration. Neither the clinic licence nor the SMC entry alone is sufficient — confirm both. Verify the MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the doctor's SMC registration before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned procedure, request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the operation to avoid claim disputes afterwards. MediSave 500 outpatient withdrawal limits apply to outpatient consultations; MediSave can also be applied to approved surgical procedures such as grommets insertion or adenotonsillectomy, with the specific claimable amounts depending on the procedure code. For outpatient consultations without a referral letter, you pay the full private specialist rate and claim against your IP or MediSave where eligible. A polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital's ENT Specialist Outpatient Clinic reduces the consultation fee to S$30–80 for Singapore Citizens after subsidy, though non-urgent waits typically run 4–12 weeks. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session — most private hospitals issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate covering insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by their final bill.
