Medical services in Singapore: prices, rules and what to ask

Updated 5 November 2026

A polyclinic examination or review in Singapore is quoted at about S$22.40 to S$41.00, a home medical visit starts from about S$176 per visit before any government subsidy, and a health screening runs from under S$50 to over S$10,000. For prices that match your case and district, send a request on BlaBlaPrice, where the AI looks through local clinic price lists and shows what it finds.

Licences and what to check at the clinic

Singapore licenses healthcare by type of service rather than by premises, and an Outpatient Medical Service licence costs S$360 for each stand-alone mode of service delivery. Doctors need a practising certificate, which the Singapore Medical Council lists at S$550 a year for full registration. Ask the clinic to confirm that it holds the licence for the service you are booking, and whether the fee follows the government benchmark for that treatment.

Timing in a hot, wet climate

Singapore has no winter or summer. It stays hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead, so demand for medical visits does not peak in one season the way it does in colder countries. Plan the appointment around your work calendar. In the wet season, heavy rain can delay travel to a clinic, so for a home visit confirm the arrival time on the day.

How care is priced and booked here

Prices are quoted per visit, per examination or per screening, and home visits are quoted before subsidies. Subsidies for a home visit depend on the patient being a Singapore Citizen or permanent resident, so say which group the patient belongs to before you agree a price. Name your district too: a clinic in Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio is a different trip from one in the city, so the district changes the trip you pay for.

What to put in your request

Say what kind of visit you need (consultation, review, screening or home visit), who the patient is (adult, child or elderly) and whether the patient is a Singapore Citizen or permanent resident. Add the doctor's qualification you want, the day and time that suit you, your district and your budget. Describe symptoms in general terms only; the clinic will ask for the rest when you book.

On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. You describe what you need in your own words in a chat, the AI asks for anything missing, then looks through clinic websites and price lists in Singapore and shows you the prices and providers it found. Clinics registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to exchange them. Create a request on the home page, read how it works, or, if you need talking therapy rather than a medical visit, see psychologists.
