During & After Video Consultation

Video Consultation service is chargeable. The fee will be as per standard charges of an outpatient physical consultation fee, with a 20% discount for doctors’ video consultation. You can refer to our Outpatient Charges page on our website for the rates.

Usage of MediSave is allowed for all chronic conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP*). Only Video Consultation charges and drugs/investigations/scans ordered for chronic conditions under the CDMP can be paid for using MediSave.

*There are 23 conditions under the CDMP. They are diabetes (including pre-diabetes), hypertension, lipid disorder, schizophrenia, major depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, stroke, asthma, COPD, dementia, osteoarthritis, benign prostatic hyperplasia, Parkinson’s disease, chronic kidney disease (nephrosis/nephritis), epilepsy, osteoporosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, ischaemic heart disease, allergic rhinitis, gout and chronic hepatitis B.

The care and review of your medical condition provided through Video Consultation is similar to what you would have received during a physical consultation. As such, you will still be required to pay for the service.

You can retrieve your bill from Health Buddy, under payments tab. Alternatively, you can visit our Patient Financial Services page.
