Yes, you can use Medisave for the circumcision at KKH, but only if it's done for medical reasons, the cap is around $650 from what I've heard, so depending on the ward type chosen, there may still be some out-of-pocket. My friend brought her son to KKH for it and said the waiting time was a few weeks, not too bad, but it can vary depending on how busy the department is at that point. The trade-off is that KKH gives you that peace of mind with the specialist setup, though some parents do find the whole subsidy and Medisave eligibility process a bit more paperwork than expected. Worth calling their appointments line directly to ask about current waiting time and to confirm whether your baby's case qualifies as medical, that part really determines how much Medisave kicks in.
