Against waiting or paying in the US
The US has no national public waiting list; what matters is the price your insurer or the hospital charges.
Can your insurer pay?
Ask your insurer before you book. Plans rarely pay for planned treatment abroad unless they have agreed in writing first.

Cancer screening in Singapore from the US: questions
How much is a cancer screening package in Singapore for Americans?
The published prices we found work out at $435–$469 at the clinic, from Raffles Hospital. Adding a rough travel estimate of $1,620 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about $2,050. Your own fares and dates will change that part.
Is it cheaper than paying privately in the US?
We have not verified a self-pay price in the US for this, so compare the trip total with a written quote from a provider at home.
How long is the wait for a cancer screening package in the US?
There is no national public waiting list in the US; the question is usually the price your insurer pays.
How many days do I need in Singapore?
One day for most packages; two if an endoscopy is included. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will my insurer pay for it?
Ask your insurer before booking. Most plans pay little or nothing for planned treatment abroad unless they agree in advance.
