Why do I need to go for regular check-ins and how often?
Regular check-ins allow your Healthier SG doctor to understand your overall health and progress toward your health goals. Your doctor will refer to and update your Health Plan based on your changing health needs.
If you have chronic conditions, these check-ins with your Healthier SG doctor will play a crucial role in managing your health and setting targets for optimal control. This could include weight management, smoking cessation and other specific interventions required to manage chronic conditions.
How often you need to check in with your Healthier SG doctor depends on whether you have any chronic conditions.
If you are generally healthy with no known chronic conditions, you are recommended to check in with your Healthier SG doctor once a year. The check-in may be done in-person or over the phone (your Healthier SG clinic will advise on the mode of check-in). An in-person check-in must be done once every three years.
If you have one or more chronic conditions, your doctor may recommend two or more check-ins within the year to better review and manage your condition(s). An in-person check-in must be done at least once a year.
If you have transferred to a new Healthier SG doctor, we recommend scheduling an in-person visit for your first appointment so that your new doctor can conduct a comprehensive evaluation.
You may make book an appointment with your clinic, or your clinic will contact you to schedule your check-in.
