The ENT Clinic Singapore ✓ ACRA Verified

First specialist consultations at private ENT clinics in Singapore typically run S$120–250, with follow-up visits at S$80–180. Investigations billed on top of the consultation fee include audiograms (S$80–150), nasal endoscopy (S$100–200), blood panels (S$60–200), CT sinuses (S$400–900), and MRI (S$800–1,800). Common ENT day-surgery procedures — tonsillectomy, grommet insertion, functional endoscopic sinus surgery, septoplasty — typically range from S$3,000 to S$15,000+ depending on complexity and class of ward. GST applies on private specialist services. For any planned procedure, request a written financial counselling estimate from the clinic before committing. This should clearly split the estimated insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and your out-of-pocket portion. Pre-authorisation from your Integrated Shield Plan insurer — ideally a Letter of Guarantee — should be secured before the procedure date to avoid post-procedure claim disputes.

Every legitimate specialist clinic operating from a private hospital such as Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital holds an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory. Every practising doctor in Singapore is listed on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm the doctor's registration status, specialist accreditation in Otorhinolaryngology, and any disciplinary history. For ENT surgeons performing endoscopic or head-and-neck procedures, a Royal College or Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FRCS ORL-HNS or FAMS) is the meaningful additional credential beyond basic SMC specialist registration. Note that regulatory licences were not supplied for this listing. Confirm both the clinic's MOH licence and the named doctor's SMC entry directly before booking — neither alone is sufficient. The clinic is KakiList-verified, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. See the SMC register at smc.gov.sg and the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg to verify before your appointment.

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. Confirm pre-authorisation requirements with your IP insurer before any planned procedure, and request a Letter of Guarantee to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be used under the S$500/year general outpatient limit or the S$700/year Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) limit where applicable, with separate MediSave limits for selected scans and outpatient treatments. For planned ENT procedures — grommets, tonsillectomy, sinus surgery, septoplasty — request a written financial counselling session at the clinic before paying any deposit. Most private hospitals will issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate that splits insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill. If cost is a significant consideration, a polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital ENT subsidised outpatient clinic reduces first-consult fees to roughly S$30–80 for Singapore Citizens, though non-urgent wait times typically run four to twelve weeks.
