CHAS, Merdeka Generation and Pioneer Generation Subsidies for Dental Services
To make healthcare and dental care more affordable, the Singapore government has provided a series of subsidies for Singaporeans through CHAS, the Merdeka Generation package and Pioneer Generation package.
Depending on the scheme, citizens are entitled to different amounts of subsidies.
The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) is a scheme offered by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in an effort to make medical treatment and dental care more affordable for Singapore citizens.
CHAS cardholders can receive a subsidy on their dental bill* according to the respective tiers at participating dental clinics.
*This is subject to a list of services/treatments.
All Singapore Citizens can apply for CHAS. Every household is required to submit an application in order to receive the card.
The amount of subsidies provided will differ depending on the following criteria:
This is determined by dividing the total gross household income per month by the number of family members staying in the household.
The Annual Value (AV) is the approximate amount of rent collected annually if the home is being rented out.
The table below shows the breakdown of the respective tiers:
Citizens with a Merdeka Generation (MG) or Pioneer Generation (PG) card can enjoy CHAS subsidies regardless of their monthly income or annual value (AV) of home.
Additionally, citizens with the Public Assistance (PA) card can present their card to receive the full CHAS subsidies without applying for CHAS.
Here’s how to apply for CHAS cards:
Singaporeans who are 21 years old and above can apply online on behalf of their family members staying in the same household.
The completed form as well as any additional supporting documents can be mailed to P.O. Box 680, Bukit Merah Central Post Office, Singapore 911536.
Once your application has been submitted, you can expect to receive the results within 15 working days.
