You have the choice to select your preferred primary care provider under Healthier SG. We encourage you to enrol with the doctor whom you go to frequently.

For continuity of care, we strongly encourage you to choose your regular polyclinic or Healthier SG GP clinic and commit to one Healthier SG clinic for your care needs. This will help you develop a long and trusted relationship with your care provider, who will serve as your first point-of-contact to holistically manage your health. You can be assured of consistent standards of care as GP clinics and polyclinics are both guided by the same care protocols.

Fees and subsidies for common chronic medications at polyclinics and GP clinics will be similar under HSG, but there may be some differences in consultation fees because GPs set their own prices privately and because of how government subsidies are given at the two settings. 

From early 2024, all CHAS/MG/PG cardholders enrolled with a Healthier SG GP can opt for the new Healthier SG Chronic Tier to receive common chronic medications at prices comparable to polyclinic. Patients can enjoy subsidy rates of up to 87.5% on these whitelisted chronic medications.

Patients will also enjoy additional subsidies on their consultation fees at GP clinics, subject to annual and per visit dollar limits. Patient need not pay for consultation fees in situations where the subsidy limits are higher than the consultation charges. For instance, a CHAS Green patient with one chronic condition has a per visit limit of $28. If the GP charges $25 for the consultation, a full subsidy of $25 will be provided. If the GP charges $35 for the consultation, a subsidy of $28 is provided and the patient will pay the remaining $7. On the other hand, there is no overall annual dollar limit at polyclinics but patient would need to make some small payment for every consultation visit which are already subsidised.  

If you are not a CHAS/MG/PG cardholder, the prevailing GP clinic rates apply. You are advised to check the medication and consultation fees at your clinic.

Yes, you can switch clinics after you have enrolled.

You can do so via HealthHub or go to an Enrolment Station (see https://gowhere.gov.sg/healthiersg for locations). You may also call the MOH hotline at 6325 9220.

We will support one change of enrolled clinic in a year to accommodate personal preferences and changes in life circumstances, e.g., families who move house.  As some residents may need more time to find a clinic that they are comfortable with at the start, we will support up to four changes for the initial enrolment period.

Having a long-term, trusted relationship with a family clinic allows your doctor to focus more on preventive care to help you stay healthy, detect health issues early and manage them well.

Healthier SG empowers you to take steps to improve your health proactively with the support of your trusted family clinic and community partners, every step of the way.

The aim is to help you enjoy:

• A higher quality of life for as long as possible;

• Peace of mind for yourself and loved ones; and

• Ease and convenience in accessing health and community services.
