If I am already visiting a polyclinic / hospital / specialist regularly for treatment of my chronic condition, do I still need to enrol to Healthier SG? Will the same medicines and tests be available at the GPs?
Yes, residents aged 40 and above can enrol to Healthier SG.
Healthier SG promotes preventive care to maintain good health, detect health issues early, and manage them effectively. Residents are encouraged to take proactive steps to improve their health with the support of their family clinic and community partners.
You are encouraged to enrol to Healthier SG to have a family doctor who can manage and care for all your medical conditions. Your Healthier SG doctor will be able to advise on the appropriate Health Plan as he/ she will have an overview of your health.
If you hold a CHAS card, at your enrolled Healthier SG clinic you can access the Healthier SG Chronic Tier and receive enhanced subsidies for selected chronic medications from the Healthier SG Medication List, at prices comparable to polyclinics. However, blood tests and investigations will be charged at the prevailing rates. Eligible Singapore Citizens will also receive special subsidies for Healthier SG screening tests* and vaccinations under Healthier SG.
For further information about specific medicines or tests available at a clinic, check with your Healthier SG GP clinic.
*Eligible Singapore Citizens will enjoy subsidised screening tests at polyclinics and CHAS GP clinics, while eligible Permanent Residents enjoy subsidised screening tests at polyclinics. Screening test eligibility is determined based on an individual’s age, sex, pre-existing conditions and last health screening date. In addition, eligible Singapore Citizens who are enrolled with Healthier SG will enjoy special subsidies at their enrolled Healthier SG clinic.
