More S’poreans to have medical subsidies from revised income criteria

The monthly PCHI threshold for each tier will be raised ranging from $100 to $800.

Up to 1.1 million Singaporeans are expected to benefit from subsidies as the Ministry of Health (MOH) revises the income criteria for healthcare schemes and grants.

The monthly per capita household income (PCHI) threshold for each subsidy tier will be raised ranging from $100 to $800.

For instance, the monthly PCHI to qualify for maximum grant for Community Health Assist Scheme Blue card and MediShield Life and CareShield Lide Premium subsidies will both increase to $1,500 from $1,200

The qualifying monthly PCHI for Palliative Care services and Acute Hospital will both increase to $2,100 from $800 and $1,800, respectively.

Aside from these adjustments, the MOH raised subsidies for some services. This includes the enhanced Community Hospital subsidy framework that will give Singapore citizens subsidies of at least 50%, up from currently 30% under the current framework.

MOH will also expand the list of subsidised diagnostic services at community hospitals starting 1 December 2024.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
