Under WICA, can I claim for medical bills and certificates from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practitioners?

Updated by MOM

Medical expenses for TCM treatments are claimable under WICA only if the TCM treatment is prescribed and billed by a Singapore-registered medical practitioner or dentist.

For medical leave wages, only medical certificates (MCs) issued by a Singapore-registered doctor or dentist are recognised under WICA.
