MOH to see if Chas card users can be told of subsidies at clinics

Singapore News, Singapore Headlines

The Ministry of Health (MOH) will look into whether Community Health Assist Scheme (Chas) beneficiaries can be informed of their subsidy each time they use their card at a medical or dental clinic.

Dr Chia told The Straits Times that informing patients of the subsidy"is so that patients can better keep track of the type and amount of deductions as some may not keep or inspect the bills, and it is an additional safeguard that the amount has indeed been deducted". Dr Chia, Nominated MP Walter Theseira and Non-Constituency MP Daniel Goh had asked the MOH about the recently announced computation mistakes that resulted in some 7,700 people getting the wrong card when they applied for or renewed their Chas card. There is a higher subsidy with the blue card.
