Family Care Medical Centre Hougang Ave 9 ✓ ACRA Verified

GP consultation fees at private and private-wing clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60 per visit, covering the consultation itself. Common add-ons billed separately include medications and prescriptions, diagnostic tests (blood panel S$60–200, urine analysis, swabs), vaccinations (S$30–80 depending on the vaccine), and medical certificates. GST applies on private medical services. If the clinic participates in CHAS, Singapore Citizens with a CHAS card (orange or blue tier) pay a subsidised rate of S$10.50–19.50 per GP visit. If it is on the CDMP panel, MediSave can be used up to S$700 per year for chronic-condition management. Confirm CHAS and CDMP participation directly with the clinic before your visit, as participation is voluntary and not all private GPs are enrolled. For any planned procedure or referral, ask for a written estimate that separates insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions. See the full GP & 24-Hour Clinics cost guide for Singapore →

No regulatory licences have been confirmed in the current listing data for Family Care Medical Centre Hougang Ave 9. Every legitimate GP clinic is required to hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory online. Every practising doctor must be registered on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by name to confirm registration status and any disciplinary history. The absence of confirmed licence data in this listing does not necessarily mean the clinic is unlicensed, but it does mean you should verify independently before booking. Ask to see the MOH clinic licence certificate displayed at the premises and confirm the consulting doctor's name matches an active entry on the SMC register. Both steps take under five minutes and protect you from attending an unlicensed or lapsed practice. 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.

MediSave can be used for outpatient consultations up to S$500 per year under the general outpatient withdrawal limit, or up to S$700 per year if the clinic is a CDMP-accredited provider and the consultation is for a qualifying chronic condition (hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, COPD, stroke, mental health conditions, and others). Confirm whether the clinic is CDMP-accredited before assuming MediSave applies — not every GP is enrolled. Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life typically cover inpatient stays and day surgery rather than routine GP visits, though some riders extend to specialist outpatient care. A polyclinic or GP referral letter to a public hospital Specialist Outpatient Clinic (SOC) unlocks subsidised specialist rates of S$30–80 for Singapore Citizens, with non-urgent waits of roughly 4–12 weeks. For any planned investigation or procedure arranged through the clinic, request a written financial counselling estimate in advance that splits insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions clearly — skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
