Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS)
For the Middle and Lower Income
Middle and lower income households can apply for the Health Assist Card to enjoy subsidies at participating GPs.
You get the following benefits by joining CHAS:
- Subsidised medical and dental care at participating GPs and dental clinics
- Convenience of visiting CHAS clinics near your home
- Subsidised treatment at public hospital Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOCs) when you are referred by your CHAS doctor
- Additional subsidies when receiving subsidised SOC treatment from Sep 2014.
If you are above 40 years old, you may also be invited by Health Promotion Board for free health screening! You only need to pay for your GP’s consultation, which is also subsidised.
You can apply if you are a Singapore Citizen, and your household monthly income per person is $1,800 or below. If your household has no income, the Annual Value of your home should be $21,000 and below.

Pioneer Generation Package
For our Pioneers
From 1 Sep 2014, all Pioneers will get an additional 50% off their subsidised SOC treatments.
If a Pioneer does not have a CHAS Card, he will enjoy 75% subsidies. With a CHAS Blue Card, a Pioneer will enjoy up to 85% subsidies!
Pioneers will receive their own Pioneer Generation Cards which will let them enjoy these benefits. The cards will automatically be sent to them, so they don’t need to apply!

Switching to Subsidised Care
If you have previously opted for private services and wish to switch to subsidised care, you need to approach a hospital staff who will assess your situation and help you with the request.
