Paediatric Orthopaedics SMG ✓ ACRA Verified

First specialist consultations at private paediatric orthopaedic clinics in Singapore typically run S$120–250, with follow-up reviews at S$80–180. Investigations billed on top include X-rays (S$80–150 per view), ultrasound (S$150–400), and MRI (S$400–1,800 depending on the joint and whether contrast is required). Blood panels are less common in orthopaedics but may be ordered pre-operatively. Day surgery and planned procedures — such as fracture fixation, tendon release, or scoliosis correction — vary widely in cost (S$3,000–25,000+ depending on procedure complexity and hospital class) and should be quoted with a written financial counselling estimate that separates insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before any deposit is paid. GST applies on private medical services. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →

Every legitimate specialist clinic must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. The consulting surgeon must also be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) — search by name at smc.gov.sg to confirm active registration, specialist accreditation in Orthopaedic Surgery (or Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery where separately credentialled), and any disciplinary history. For paediatric orthopaedic subspecialty work, a Royal College fellowship (FRCS Orthopaedics) or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC registration. No regulatory licences are listed in the current public data for this practice — confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the named surgeon's SMC entry directly with the clinic before booking. Verify the doctor's name on the Singapore Medical Council register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence 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 each plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned orthopaedic procedure — fracture fixation, corrective osteotomy, spinal surgery — confirm pre-authorisation and obtain a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the procedure to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient claims under the S$500/700 withdrawal limits and for qualifying surgical procedures at approved facilities including Mount Alvernia Hospital. The clinic's financial counsellor will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and cash out-of-pocket portions in writing — request this before consenting to any planned intervention. Skipping this step is the most common reason families are surprised by the final bill. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →
