Financial Support for Mental Health
Find out about the financial support available for mental health treatment in Singapore, including fully funded services and subsidies like Medisave and CHAS.
You may be worried about the cost of mental health treatment, but services provided by social service agencies like CREST, CREST-Youth, COMIT, and YIT are fully funded by the government and there is no out-of-pocket cost.
Consultation costs for medical services such as seeing a GP or Polyclinic Doctor may vary between clinics, so you should approach the respective GP or Polyclinic for more information on their fees. There are also financial subsidies available that can help ease the burden.
Medisave
Mental health conditions like schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety are covered by Medisave under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP)-Mental Illness.
This means you can use your Medisave to pay up to $500 of your outpatient treatment cost per year. You’ll just have to co-pay 15% of your bill.
Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS)
The Community Health Assist Scheme enables all Singapore Citizens to receive subsidies for medical care at participating General Practitioner (GP) clinics.
