Can my family clinic refer me for specialist care? Will subsidised referrals made under Healthier SG be subsidised at public Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOC)?
Yes, your family clinic can refer you for specialist care if it is clinically appropriate. Your doctor (or the care team) will discuss with you prior to making any referral for specialist care.
CHAS/MG/PG cardholders can receive subsidised referrals to public SOCs through CHAS clinics, which include their Healthier SG GPs. You will be considered a subsidised patient and will receive care from a team of doctors/dentists. Patients who wish to choose a specific doctor at the SOC will have to pay private rates.
For more information on SOC subsidies, please visit the MOH website or check directly with your Healthier SG GP or the public SOC.
Additional Information
Subsidies for your treatment at the public SOC will be determined based on your monthly Per Capita Household Income.
Upon referral, please bring along your NRIC and CHAS Referral Form, during your first visit to the SOC/NSC.
