Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS)
Last updated: Jun 17, 2025
What Is CHAS?
The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) offers subsidies for medical and dental
services to
Singapore Citizens. This includes Pioneer Generation (PG) and Merdeka Generation (MG) cardholders,
at selected General Practitioner (GP) and dental clinics.
As part of the Healthier SG initiative, CHAS encourages
preventive healthcare by promoting regular health screenings and supporting the management of
chronic illnesses. Additionally, CHAS works with the Chronic Disease Management Programme
(CDMP), enabling the use of MediSave together with CHAS
subsidies for outpatient treatments.
ATA Medical is a clinic accredited under
Healthier SG and CHAS, where cardholders can access CHAS, PG, and MG subsidies for a wide range of
healthcare services customized to your needs.
Eligibility for CHAS Card
All Singaporeans are eligible for a CHAS card, with benefits tiered according to household monthly income per person or the Annual Value (AV) of the home:
| CHAS Tiers |
Household monthly income per person (for households with income) |
Annual Value (AV) of home (for households with no income) |
|---|---|---|
| CHAS Blue | $1,200 and below | $21,000 and below |
| CHAS Orange | $1,201 to $2,000 | $21,001 to $25,000 |
| CHAS Green | Above $2,000 | Above $2,000 |
Household monthly income per person = Total gross monthly household income / total number of
household members. This can be computed using the calculator provided on the CHAS website.
Annual Value of home = Estimated gross annual rent of a property (excluding furnishings and
maintenance fees). It is determined by IRAS and can be checked via myTax Portal.
