Fee Benchmark

What determines an anaesthetist's fee

An anaesthetist's fee reflects the complexity of the surgery, how long it takes, the anaesthetic technique used, and your overall health and fitness for anaesthesia (which anaesthetists grade using the ASA physical status classification). More complex or longer procedures, and patients with significant medical conditions, generally require more anaesthetic care.

MOH fee benchmarks

The Ministry of Health publishes fee benchmarks for private anaesthetists' fees, typical fee ranges for common procedures, published to help patients and doctors gauge reasonable charges. Our fees are set with reference to these benchmarks. The current edition is effective from 1 June 2026.

View the benchmarks on the MOH website:

How payment works in private hospitals

Anaesthesia for eligible surgical procedures can usually be part-funded through MediSave, subject to withdrawal limits, and may be covered by MediShield Life or an Integrated Shield Plan depending on your policy and ward or hospital type. Check the specific limits and coverage with your insurer before your procedure.
