Based on Conditions/Procedures
This section provides details on the size of hospital bills according to conditions / procedures and ward class. Some of the conditions/ procedures featured include those for which patient treatment is more complex as they may have developed complications during the admission (complications) and/or had other co-existing medical conditions (comorbidities).
The figures quoted are based on actual bill size data submitted by the hospitals. The bill sizes for public hospitals are complete and include all charges including doctors' professional fees.
The data for private hospitals, however, may not be complete as not all doctors' professional fees may be fully accounted.
To ensure that there are adequate cases for meaningful comparisons, bill sizes for conditions/ procedures with less than 30 cases for that particular ward class within each hospital will not be shown. Should you wish to find out more, please check with the hospitals directly.
