What is CHAS and How Do CHAS Dental Subsidies Work
CHAS stands for the Community Health Assist Scheme, a government initiative administered by the Ministry of Health to help eligible Singapore Citizens receive subsidised medical and dental care at participating GP and dental clinics.
At a CHAS dental subsidy clinic, such as Kent Dental Works, subsidies are applied during your visit for eligible procedures. Claims are submitted electronically, and you only pay the remaining balance after the subsidy has been deducted.
Who Can Use CHAS Dental Subsidies
You may be eligible to use CHAS dental subsidies at our clinic if you are a Singapore Citizen with a valid CHAS, MG, or PG card. This ensures you can benefit from government support while receiving high-quality dental care.
You may be eligible to receive treatment at a CHAS dental subsidy clinic if you:
- Are a Singapore Citizen
- Hold a valid CHAS Blue or CHAS Orange card, or a Merdeka Generation (MG) or Pioneer Generation (PG) card
If you are unsure which card you hold, please bring your physical or digital card and NRIC to your appointment so eligibility can be verified.
What Dental Treatments Are Subsidised Under CHAS
As a participating dental subsidies clinic, Kent Dental Works provides CHAS subsidies for selected dental services, subject to eligibility and claim limits. Subsidised treatments help you manage the cost of necessary care without compromising quality. Commonly subsidised treatments include:
- Dental consultation, including a full oral examination and updated dental chart
- Preventive dental care, such as scaling and polishing
- Dental X-rays within annual limits
- Tooth extractions for both anterior and posterior teeth
- Dental fillings, including simple and complex fillings
- Selected restorative treatments such as dentures, crowns, and root canal treatment
For treatments requiring multiple visits, such as dentures or root canal therapy, CHAS subsidies are usually claimable only after the procedure has been completed. Patients attending for routine care, such as dental scaling and polishing, may be eligible for subsidies if they meet the claim frequency and eligibility criteria.
Claim Limits (How Often You Can Claim)
CHAS dental subsidies have annual limits that patients should be aware of. Understanding claim limits helps you plan your dental care and make the most of your subsidies.
- Dental consultation: up to two claims per calendar year, with a minimum six-month interval
- Scaling: up to two sessions per calendar year
- Polishing: up to two sessions per calendar year
- Dental X-rays: up to six X-rays per calendar year
Claim limits may change over time. Our team will advise you on your eligibility during your visit.
How Much Subsidy Can You Get
The amount of subsidy you can receive depends on your CHAS card type and the dental procedure required. Knowing this upfront helps you budget for your dental care more confidently.
- CHAS Orange cardholders receive subsidies for selected dental treatments
- CHAS Blue cardholders typically receive higher subsidies compared to CHAS Orange cardholders
- Merdeka Generation (MG) and Pioneer Generation (PG) cardholders may receive enhanced subsidies for selected procedures
Exact subsidy levels are determined by the official CHAS dental fee schedule and confirmed during your consultation.
