Real Health Medical TCM (Bedok) ✓ ACRA Verified

Real Health Medical TCM (Bedok) is listed at the '$$' price tier, indicating mid-range pricing. In Singapore, a standard TCM consultation typically runs S$20–50, with acupuncture sessions (including consultation) ranging from S$50–120. Herbal medicine prescriptions are usually billed separately at S$20–80 per course depending on the formula and duration. Specialised treatments such as tui na or cupping may carry additional charges. Confirm whether the clinic offers package pricing for recurring conditions — common for chronic pain, fertility, or post-stroke rehabilitation — and whether a first-visit consultation fee applies. Ask about the cancellation or no-show policy before booking, as some clinics charge a fee for late cancellations. See the full TCM cost guide for Singapore →

No referral is required to book a first appointment at a TCM clinic in Singapore. At your initial visit, the practitioner will conduct a TCM diagnostic assessment covering pulse quality, tongue appearance, and a detailed intake of symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history. You should bring any recent medical reports or prescription records, particularly if you are managing a chronic condition or taking Western medication — herb-drug interactions are a real consideration. A GP referral is not mandatory but can be helpful if you intend to claim from MediSave (which covers acupuncture at TCMPB-registered clinics for specific conditions) or if your insurer requires a referral for reimbursement of TCM treatments under an integrated plan. For complex conditions, some practitioners may ask for diagnostic results before commencing herbal prescriptions.

In Singapore, all practising TCM physicians must be registered with the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registration covers acupuncturists and TCM physicians separately, and the public register is searchable at the TCMPB website — you can verify a practitioner's name, registration number, and registration status before booking. No regulatory licences have been confirmed on this KakiList listing for Real Health Medical TCM (Bedok). Before your first appointment, ask the clinic for the consulting practitioner's TCMPB registration number and cross-check it on the public register. This takes under two minutes and is the most important verification step for any TCM consultation. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
