Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS)
The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) enables Singapore Citizens from the lower and middle income households to receive subsidies for medical and dental care at participating General Practitioners (GPs) and Dental Clinics near their homes. Singapore Citizens who qualify for CHAS will receive an individual blue or orange Health Assist card.
To qualify for CHAS, applicants must be Singapore Citizens and should meet the following criteria:
- For households with income, the household monthly income per person must be $1,800 and below*.
- For households with no income, the Annual Value (AV) of home must be $21,000 and below**.
*Household monthly income per person is the total gross household monthly income divided by total number of family members living together. Gross monthly income refers to your basic income, overtime pay, allowances, cash awards, commissions and bonuses.
** AV is assessed by IRAS. An AV up to $21,000 covers all HDB flats and some lower-value private residences.
Members of the public who are on Public Assistance (PA) scheme do not need to apply as they are already eligible for CHAS. Click here to read more on CHAS application.
