Clifford Dispensary Shaw House Orchard ✓ ACRA Verified

GP consultations at private clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60, with variations depending on the complexity of the visit, time of day, and whether it falls outside standard hours. Common add-ons billed separately include investigations such as a blood panel (S$60–200), throat or nasal swabs, urine tests, and prescriptions. GST applies on private medical services. Patients using the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) at an enrolled clinic, or attending via a polyclinic referral to a public hospital SOC, would pay less, but private GP clinics charge at private rates unless they are CHAS-enrolled. Confirm whether CHAS is accepted when you call ahead. For any planned investigation, request a cost estimate in writing before proceeding.

No regulatory licences are currently listed for Clifford Dispensary Shaw House Orchard on this listing. Every legitimate clinic operating in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act, verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must be registered with the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) — searchable by name at smc.gov.sg, which also shows specialist accreditation and any disciplinary records. Before booking, verify both the clinic's MOH licence and the consulting doctor's SMC registration independently. The absence of listed licences in this directory does not necessarily mean the clinic is unlicensed, but it does mean you should confirm directly with the clinic and cross-check both registers before attending. 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 can cover private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For GP visits at a private clinic, IP coverage is generally limited unless the visit leads to an inpatient admission. Confirm with your insurer whether the clinic is on their outpatient panel before attending. MediSave can be withdrawn for selected outpatient conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — up to S$700 per year for listed conditions including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, asthma, stroke, and selected mental health conditions. For general acute GP visits outside CDMP, MediSave cannot typically be used for outpatient claims at private clinics. Ask the clinic staff at the point of registration which payment methods and insurance panels are accepted, and request an itemised receipt for any insurance or MediSave submission.
