Patients are expected to co-pay for their treatment under CHAS. CHAS clinics are expected to charge CHAS patients reasonable fees for the medical and dental treatments provided under CHAS.
We encourage you to check with your doctor or dentist on the likely fees that you will be charged before proceeding with your treatment(s). The treatment required and the fees will vary according to each patient's condition. The amount you pay will be based on the fees charged by the clinic, minus your CHAS subsidies.
It is compulsory for all CHAS GP and dental clinics to issue itemised bills to all CHAS patients.
For medical clinics, the itemised bill shall state the following:
(a) the total amount charged (
before subsidy), with a breakdown of the amount into charges for consultation, medication, investigation and other goods/services, at minimum (where applicable);
(b) the total amount of subsidy claimed for the patient; and
(c) the total amount payable by the patient (after subsidy).
Minimum level of bill itemisation required (medical clinics):
For dental clinics, the itemized bill shall state the following:
(a) the total amount charged (before subsidy), with a breakdown of the amount into the individual dental procedures performed on the patient under CHAS (with the number of times each procedure was performed and the amount charged);
(b) the total amount of subsidy claimed for the patient under CHAS; and
(c) the total amount payable by the patient under CHAS (after subsidy).
