About Medicare Associates Tampines Street 43
Medicare Associates Tampines Street 43 is a general practice clinic located at 482 Tampines Street 43, Singapore 520482. KakiList has verified the operating details and contact channel. The clinic holds a 2.7/5 rating across 101 Google reviews — a robust sample size, though the rating sits notably below the average for GP clinics in Singapore and warrants attention before booking. No regulatory licences, including an MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration for the attending doctor, have been provided to KakiList at this time. Prospective patients are strongly advised to verify these directly before attending.
For a first visit to a GP clinic, patients typically walk in or call ahead to check queue times. Bring your NRIC or FIN, your Integrated Shield Plan (IP) card if applicable, and a list of any current medications or known allergies. If you have been referred by a polyclinic for a specialist opinion, bring the referral letter. GP consultations in Singapore typically cover acute illness, chronic disease management under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), and minor-injury assessment. MediSave can be used for CDMP-listed conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidaemia up to the S$500–700 outpatient withdrawal limit per year. Confirm at the front desk whether the clinic participates in CHAS, Healthier SG, or your IP panel before treatment to avoid unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
Call the clinic on the listed phone number to confirm current operating hours, queue availability, and whether your specific condition or subsidy scheme is catered for before making the trip.

★★★★★
Dr. John is punctual, professional, caring, and effective in his work. The reception staff appear to be polite, patient, and outgoing especially towards older patients, contrary to earlier comments.

★★★★★
Grew up visiting the GP, Dr Chua. I have consistently experienced skilled treatment and quick intervention where alternative clinics may have hesitated. While the counter nurse may appear as some other reviews suggest, the nurses are patient with elderly and children even during more busy hours and apt in dealing with entitled people. The rates remain comparatively low and fair over the near 2 decades my family has been here. Good things rarely require loud praise, the clinic is favoured by neighbourhood and thus a waiting time can be expected. I was searching for the operating hours of the clinic to double check when I saw the reviews, thought I should speak up about the service this clinic has offered for the neighbourhood over the years.

★☆☆☆☆
Instead of listening to me carefully, doctor often interrupted me and looked impatient. Their tone was very stiff and did not show empathy or understanding. It is already stressful to see a doctor, and receiving treatment in this way will make the experience worse.

★☆☆☆☆
Unethical pricing for simple wisdom tooth extraction. Charged $2000 to my medisave account. Truly predatory consumer pricing, how is this morally ethical Please go to Advanced Dental Clinic that is nearby
Rynnie
★☆☆☆☆
Rude young counter staff with short hair. Couldn’t hear her clearly when she spoke and she sounded so impatient and was very impolite when she had to repeat. Almost sounded like she was scolding me. This is not the first time encountering this situation. *No doctor until 9 Dec.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Medicare Associates Tampines Street 43 charge?›
GP consultations at private and GP clinics in Singapore typically run S$25–60 per visit for a standard consultation, with additional charges for investigations such as blood panels (S$60–200), urine tests, throat or wound swabs, X-rays (S$80–150), and any medications dispensed. GST applies on private medical services. Medicare Associates Tampines Street 43 has not published a specific fee schedule to KakiList. Confirm the consultation fee and any likely add-ons — particularly for chronic disease reviews or investigations — at the front desk before the consultation. If you hold a CHAS card (Blue, Orange, or Merdeka) or are enrolled in Healthier SG, ask whether the clinic is a participating provider, as this affects your subsidised co-payment. For any planned procedure or referral, request a written financial estimate that separates insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket portions.

Is Medicare Associates Tampines Street 43 MOH-licensed and how do I verify the doctor?›
No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration has been provided to KakiList for this clinic. Every legitimate clinic operating in Singapore is required to 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 also appear on the SMC public register at smc.gov.sg, where you can confirm registration status, any specialist accreditation, and disciplinary history. Before attending, search the clinic's registered name on the MOH directory and the attending doctor's name on the SMC register. Neither alone is sufficient — both should be confirmed. Given the absence of licence data in this listing, this verification step is particularly important. 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.
How do I use MediSave or insurance at Medicare Associates Tampines Street 43?›
MediSave can be used for outpatient treatment of chronic conditions listed under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) — including hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, asthma, COPD, stroke, and selected mental health conditions — up to the S$500/year general outpatient limit or S$700/year under CDMP. Confirm at registration that the clinic is CDMP-accredited if you intend to use MediSave for a chronic disease review. Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life generally cover inpatient admissions and, depending on the rider, selected outpatient specialist or day-surgery costs. GP visits are typically not claimable under standard IP policies unless the plan includes an outpatient rider. For any referral leading to a specialist appointment or procedure, request pre-authorisation and a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before committing. For any planned procedure, ask for a written financial counselling estimate that clearly separates the insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket amount. Skipping this step is the most common reason patients are surprised by their final bill.
