What Is Healthier Sg?

Healthier SG is a national drive launched by the Ministry of Health (MOH) that focuses on the prevention of the onset of chronic medical illnesses among Singapore citizens. This initiative provides Singaporeans with healthcare providers and partners in the community to support their journey in practicing healthier lifestyles.

Healthier SG is committed to offer the following:
  • Holistic support to achieve a healthier body and lifestyle

Why Is It Important To Enrol In Healthier Sg?

Long-term medical conditions do not only take a toll on the body’s physical health, but also the mental and emotional health.

FAQ

What Is A Healthier Sg Health Plan Consultation?

Healthier SG grants enrollees to access affordable health care through accredited clinics. In addition, the following eldercare subsidies are available:

  • Additional Medisave benefit that allows full payment for chronic diseases treatments without the need for cash co-payment
  • National health screenings and vaccinations that are fully-subsidised
  • Subsidised medication for CHAS cardholders to avail of medications for chronic diseases that are tantamount to polyclinics

A Health Plan consultation is an appointment between the enrollee and doctor where discussions about different topics on health are covered, such as:

  • Health Goals
  • Health History
  • Health Screenings
  • Immunisations
  • Lifestyle Check
  • Physical Examination
  • Treatment Plan

During the Health Plan consultation, your doctor will record important factors that will help shape up your treatment plan to achieve your health goals.

Healthcare subsidies under Healthier SG are only applicable to eligible enrollees to the programme. To qualify, you must be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident who is 40 years old or older.

Additionally, the subsidy for chronic conditions medications are restricted under the Healthier SG Chronic Tier.

Healthier SG uses a standard care protocol for all accredited GP and polyclinics. This is to ensure that enrollees receive uniform care from doctors and healthcare providers in managing health plans and chronic diseases. Similar to polyclinics, each Healthier SG GP clinic is supervised by a Primary Care Network and supported by a team of healthcare professionals.

When it comes to consulting with doctors, it is not a guarantee that you will always see the same doctor each time you visit a polyclinic. This is because polyclinics work in teams and may have several doctors to be able to cover the demand of appointments. Despite this arrangement, you can trust that the consistency and quality of care provided by the team are the same. Your health information will be updated accordingly and shared within the team for effective continuity of care.

You will not be covered by any of the Healthier SG benefits if your existing GP is not under the programme, but you can still avail of the subsidies under CHAS and MediSave. If you would like to avail of all Healthier SG benefits, choose a Healthier SG GP or polyclinic nearest you.
