Oriental Remedies Group (Katong) ✓ ACRA Verified

TCM consultation and treatment fees in Singapore typically range from S$50–120 for a first consultation (which is usually longer) and S$40–100 for follow-up sessions, depending on the modalities involved. Acupuncture, tui na, and cupping are often bundled with the consultation fee, while herbal prescriptions are priced separately — granule or raw herb dispensing can add S$20–80 per week depending on the formula. Package rates for a fixed number of sessions are common and generally offer a modest discount over single-session pricing. Confirm the per-session fee, whether the consultation is charged separately from treatment, and the herbal prescription pricing structure directly with the clinic before your first appointment. GST may apply. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →

No referral is required to book a TCM consultation — patients book directly. At the first visit, the practitioner will conduct an intake assessment covering your current complaint, medical history, lifestyle, diet, and any ongoing medications or supplements, followed by tongue inspection and pulse-taking. Patients with complex or chronic conditions (e.g. autoimmune disease, cancer, pregnancy complications, or those on blood-thinning medication) are strongly advised to inform the practitioner upfront, as certain modalities such as acupuncture and some herbs carry contraindications. A GP or specialist referral is not medically required, but having one can assist with MediShield Life or Integrated Shield Plan claims if your insurer covers TCM treatment — check your policy before your first session.

In Singapore, all practising TCM physicians — including acupuncturists and those dispensing herbal medicine — must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration is mandatory under the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Act, and practising without registration is a criminal offence. You can verify any practitioner's registration on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg before booking. No regulatory licences have been confirmed in this listing for Oriental Remedies Group (Katong). Ask the clinic to confirm the full name and TCMPB registration number of the practitioner who will be treating you, and verify this independently on the TCMPB register. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
