Epi Dermatology & Laser Specialist Clinic ✓ ACRA Verified

First specialist consultations at private dermatology clinics in Singapore typically run S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. Investigations and procedures are billed on top: blood panels S$60–200, patch testing S$150–400, skin biopsies S$200–600, laser or procedural treatments S$200–1,500+ per session depending on scope. GST applies on all private medical services. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate that clearly separates the insurance payout (via your Integrated Shield Plan), any MediSave deduction, and the out-of-pocket portion. Polyclinic or GP referral to a public hospital dermatology SOC runs S$30–80 subsidised for Singapore Citizens, but waits of 4–12 weeks for non-urgent slots are common.

Every legitimate clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising doctor must appear on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg — search by name to confirm current registration status, specialist accreditation (Dermatology is a recognised SMC specialty), and any disciplinary history. For dermatology, a fellowship credential such as FRCS (Dermatology) or an Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS) fellowship is the meaningful additional signal beyond basic SMC registration. Note that no regulatory licences are currently listed for Epi Dermatology & Laser Specialist Clinic on this directory. Prospective patients should verify the clinic's MOH licence and the consulting dermatologist's SMC entry directly before booking — neither alone is sufficient. Listing data is incomplete — contact Epi Dermatology & Laser Specialist Clinic directly to confirm details.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day procedures, and inpatient admissions, subject to your plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned dermatology procedure — this prevents claim disputes after treatment. MediSave can be used for outpatient dermatology under the MediSave 500/700 withdrawal limits (S$500/year general outpatient; S$700/year for chronic skin conditions listed under the Chronic Disease Management Programme such as eczema and psoriasis). For paediatric patients, check whether the child's MediSave account has sufficient balance, and note that parents' MediSave accounts may be used for a child's treatment in certain circumstances. Request a financial counselling session at the clinic before any procedure to receive an itemised written estimate. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
