Charis Clinic and Surgery Tampines ✓ ACRA Verified

GP consultation fees at private clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60 per visit, with medication costs billed separately. CHAS cardholders (Blue, Orange, or Green) receive subsidised rates at participating CHAS GP clinics — confirm whether Charis Clinic and Surgery Tampines is a CHAS-registered panel clinic before your visit, as this directly affects your out-of-pocket cost. Common add-ons include diagnostic tests (blood panel S$60–200, urine dipstick S$5–15, throat or nasal swab S$30–60), prescription medication, and medical certificates. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned or chronic-disease follow-up, request a breakdown of the consultation, investigation, and medication costs upfront so there are no surprises at the counter.

No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration appears in the current listing data for Charis Clinic and Surgery Tampines. Every legitimate clinic is required to hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory — and every practising doctor must be on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg, searchable by name to confirm registration status and any disciplinary history. Before attending, we recommend searching the clinic name on the MOH licensee directory and the consulting doctor's name on the SMC register to confirm both are current. Neither alone is sufficient — you need to verify the clinic premises licence and the named doctor's SMC registration separately. Contact Charis Clinic and Surgery Tampines directly to confirm the names of the practising doctors if they are not displayed prominently. Verify the doctor's name on the Singapore Medical Council register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life generally cover inpatient and day-surgery costs rather than routine GP visits, so most patients at a GP clinic pay out of pocket or via CHAS subsidies. MediSave can be used for outpatient visits under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — covering conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, asthma, stroke, and selected mental health conditions — up to S$700 per year per account holder, or S$500 per year for general outpatient use outside CDMP. Confirm at the clinic counter whether the consultation qualifies for CDMP MediSave withdrawal and whether the clinic is registered under CHAS, Pioneer Generation, or Merdeka Generation schemes before the consultation ends, as these cannot be applied retrospectively after payment is made. If a referral for specialist care is needed, ask for a polyclinic or GP referral letter to access the subsidised public hospital SOC pathway at S$30–80 per visit for Singapore Citizens, rather than paying S$120–250 for a direct private specialist walk-in.
