Thomson Paediatric Centre ✓ ACRA Verified

Private paediatric consultations in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. On top of the consultation fee, expect additional charges for investigations — blood panels S$60–200, urine tests S$30–80, chest X-rays S$80–150 — as well as vaccinations (S$30–80 per dose under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme, though subsidised options exist at polyclinics) and any prescribed medications. GST applies on private medical services. For planned procedures or day surgery, the clinic should provide a written financial counselling estimate itemising insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general withdrawal limit or S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed conditions. Parents with Integrated Shield Plans should verify pre-authorisation requirements before any procedure. See the full paediatric cost guide for Singapore →

No MOH Healthcare Services Licence or Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration has been confirmed in the current listing data for Thomson Paediatric Centre. Both are mandatory for a legitimate private paediatric clinic — the clinic premises licence is verifiable on the MOH licensee directory, and the consulting doctor's SMC registration (including specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine) is searchable at smc.gov.sg by name. Parents should confirm both the clinic licence and the named doctor's SMC entry before booking. For a paediatric specialist, look for accreditation in Paediatric Medicine under the SMC specialist register, and check whether the doctor holds a fellowship from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (FRCPCH) or equivalent Academy of Medicine Singapore fellowship (FAMS), which indicates sub-specialty training beyond basic registration. 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.

Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. For any planned procedure, confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before the appointment to avoid claim disputes after the fact. Paediatric specialist consultations are generally claimable under IP outpatient riders where the plan includes specialist cover. MediSave can be used for selected outpatient items under the S$500/year general withdrawal limit, rising to S$700/year under the Chronic Disease Management Programme for listed chronic conditions. Childhood vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme are claimable via MediSave at approved providers. For any planned day procedure, request a financial counselling session at the clinic — an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket costs in writing is standard practice and avoids bill surprises. Parents should also confirm whether the clinic is on their insurer's panel, as panel status affects co-payment levels and direct-billing arrangements.
