Have you or your loved ones received a text to enrol in Healthier SG? Launched by the Ministry of Health, Healthier SG is a new initiative to help Singaporeans take care of their health. Through enrolling, you’ll receive additional support on your health, such as a free health plan and fully subsidised health screenings and vaccinations.
Here is what you need to know about Healthier SG and how to choose a clinic, such as any of our DA Clinics, as your family provider.
What Is Healthier SG?
Healthier SG is designed to empower you to take charge of your health, by working with your trusted family clinic. Most health conditions can be avoided or managed more effectively if you take proactive, preventive steps, such as going for your recommended health screenings or making healthy lifestyle changes.
With Healthier SG, you’ll have access to subsidised healthcare services to help you stay well; or ensure that you detect health conditions early, so that you can manage them well.
Who Can Enrol in Healthier SG?
Starting July, Singaporean citizens and Permanent Residents aged 60 and above will receive a SMS from MOH to enrol in Healthier SG.
- Residents who are 40 and above with chronic conditions would also have been invited to pre-enrol in Healthier SG.
After this initial roll-out, Singaporeans between 40 – 59 will be invited to join Healthier SG and enjoy the benefits as well.
What Are the Benefits of Signing up With Healthier SG?
Healthier SG is designed to help you stay healthy and well, or support you in managing any potential health issues, before they worsen. Through Healthier SG, you’ll be able to get subsidised healthcare services, including:
- A free first consultation with your chosen family doctor, as well as a health plan personalised to your health goals
- You’ll also receive $20-worth of Healthpoints on the Healthy 365, after your first consultation
- Fully subsidised nationally recommended screenings and vaccinations
- From 2024, you may be able to get medication for chronic conditions at a subsidised rate, if you are a CHAS cardholder; and you’ll be able to use MediSave to pay for treatment, if you are under the Chronic Disease Management Programme
When Can I Enrol in Healthier SG?
You will receive a SMS from MOH when you’re eligible to enrol in Healthier SG. Currently, enrolment has been opened to residents aged 60 and above; and enrolment will be progressively rolled out to those between 40 – 59 years old.
