PULSE TCM Clinic (Orchard) ✓ ACRA Verified

TCM consultation fees in Singapore typically range from S$30–80 per session at the base level, with acupuncture, tui na, or cupping add-ons bringing the total to S$60–150 per visit. Herbal prescriptions are billed separately and can add S$30–80 per week depending on the formula and duration of the course. Some clinics offer package rates for six or more sessions that reduce the per-visit cost, while first-time consultation fees may differ from follow-up rates. Confirm the per-session fee, herbal costs, and any package terms directly with PULSE TCM Clinic (Orchard) before your first visit. GST applies. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →

No referral is required to book a first appointment at a TCM clinic. You will typically complete an intake form covering your health history, current medications, and presenting concerns before seeing the physician. The physician will then conduct tongue and pulse diagnosis and may ask about sleep, digestion, and stress levels as part of the TCM pattern assessment. If you have a complex or chronic condition, bringing any recent GP or specialist letters can help the TCM physician understand the broader clinical picture. For patients intending to claim against a Medisave-approved MediShield Life integrated shield plan or corporate insurance, a GP referral letter may be required — confirm this with your insurer before attending, as TCM reimbursement under most private plans is limited or requires prior authorisation.

In Singapore, TCM practitioners must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration covers four practitioner categories: acupuncturist, herbalist, acupuncturist-cum-herbalist, and physician. Patients can verify any practitioner's registration status on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg before booking. Note that ACRA business registration and TCMPB practitioner registration are separate — a clinic may be operating legitimately under individual practitioner licences without a separate company registration. Ask PULSE TCM Clinic (Orchard) for the consulting physician's TCMPB registration number and confirm it on the public register before your first treatment.
