Ma Kuang Healthcare (Toa Payoh) ✓ ACRA Verified

Ma Kuang Healthcare (Toa Payoh) is priced at a mid-range tier, though specific per-session fees are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the clinic. In Singapore, TCM consultations typically run S$20–50, acupuncture S$40–100 per session, and Tui Na or cupping S$40–80. Herbal medicine is billed separately, usually S$20–60 per prescription depending on the herbs prescribed. Many TCM clinics offer package pricing for recurring treatments, which can reduce the per-session cost. Confirm whether a first-consultation fee applies, whether packages are available, and what the cancellation or no-show policy is before booking. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →

No formal referral is required to book a TCM consultation at Ma Kuang Healthcare (Toa Payoh). Most patients self-refer, though bringing any existing medical reports, imaging results, or specialist letters is useful for chronic or complex conditions, and may strengthen an insurance or Medisave claim where applicable. The first visit typically includes a full intake — tongue and pulse diagnosis, medical history review, and a discussion of your treatment goals. Be prepared to describe the duration, severity, and pattern of your symptoms. Patients with contraindications such as pregnancy, bleeding disorders, or implanted medical devices should disclose these before acupuncture or Tui Na is performed. A GP referral is not required for TCM, but having one can be helpful if you plan to claim under an integrated shield plan or employer medical benefits that require documented referral.

In Singapore, all practising TCM physicians must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is mandatory by law and covers acupuncturists and TCM physicians who perform acupuncture; Tui Na and herbal medicine practitioners are also expected to meet TCMPB standards. You can verify any practitioner's registration on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg before your appointment. Ma Kuang Healthcare is an established TCM group with multiple outlets in Singapore. If you wish to confirm the registration of the specific physician who will treat you at the Toa Payoh (City Square) branch, request their full name and TCMPB registration number at the time of booking and cross-check on the register. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
