Zhong Hua Medical Institution ✓ ACRA Verified

Zhong Hua Medical Institution displays a '$$' price indicator, suggesting mid-range pricing, though exact per-session rates are not publicly listed. For TCM in Singapore, a first consultation typically runs S$30–80, with subsequent sessions for acupuncture or Tui Na ranging from S$50–120. Herbal prescriptions are billed separately and can add S$20–80 per course depending on the formula. Package pricing is common at TCM clinics and usually offers a modest discount over single-session rates. Confirm the full cost — consultation fee, treatment fee, and herbal prescription — before your first appointment. Some Medisave-approved TCM treatments can be partially offset via MediSave for Singapore Citizens and PRs; ask the clinic whether they are an approved provider.

No referral is required to visit a TCM clinic in Singapore — you can book directly. At your first visit, expect to complete an intake form covering your medical history, current medications, allergies, and the condition you are seeking help for. The practitioner will conduct a TCM assessment including pulse and tongue diagnosis before recommending a treatment plan. If you have a complex or chronic medical condition, bringing a summary of your GP or specialist notes can help the TCM practitioner align their approach with your existing treatment. Some conditions — such as pregnancy, bleeding disorders, or active infections — may affect which modalities are appropriate, so disclose these upfront. A GP referral is not required but may be useful if you intend to make an insurance claim, as some policies require one.

In Singapore, TCM practitioners are regulated by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. All practising acupuncturists and TCM physicians must hold a valid TCMPB registration — this is a legal requirement, not a voluntary credential. You can verify any practitioner's registration number on the TCMPB public register at moh.gov.sg before booking. Zhong Hua Medical Institution has not listed its regulatory licences on KakiList at the time of this listing. Before your first appointment, ask the clinic to provide the full name and TCMPB registration number of the practitioner who will be treating you, and cross-check it on the register. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the TCMPB public register before treatment.
