Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder (GERD) Surgery Cost in Singapore 2023 – Information You Need To Know
Most adults may have experienced heartburn or acid reflux at some point in their lives. However, frequent bouts of acid reflux can signal that you have gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD).
Nissen Fundoplication (also known as acid reflux surgery) is primarily used to treat patients with GERD. In other cases, patients diagnosed with a hiatal hernia, where the stomach pushes against the diaphragm, may benefit from Nissen Fundoplication.

How Much Does Acid Reflux Surgery Cost in Singapore?
According to MOH fee guidelines, an acid reflux surgery in Singapore can range from $2,500 – $37,000.
The cost of a Nissen Fundoplication may vary depending on factors such as the medical facility, the complexity of the procedure and the individual’s medical insurance coverage.
The choice between a public and private medical facility can affect the cost of a Nissen Fundoplication. Public hospitals include subsidies for Singapore Citizens and the overall cost will be lower compared to a private hospital. However, getting an appointment at a public hospital may be a longer process. For a more personalised and faster process, you can make an appointment with your specialist of choice at a private hospital instead.
Another factor that affects the cost is the complexity of the surgery. If the patient has added complications, which require additional procedures, the cost will increase.
