Holistic care for your mental health and physical health care needs.
Introduction
If you are already seeing a General Practitioner (GP) or doctor at the Polyclinic you can share your issues with them who can alleviate your systems with medication or refer you to the appropriate care professionals for support.
Who is this service for
If you are seeing your GPs for your chronic conditions and require mental health support, your GP can co-manage your mental health care.
Services provided
The doctors can conduct early identification, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and stabilisation for your mental health/dementia issues. They will also co-manage your conditions with the community mental health teams who will provide non-pharmacological intervention such as counselling and psychotherapy.
Cost
Consultation costs may vary between clinics, but you may tap on CHAS and Medisave for your outpatient treatment.
- 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.
- The Community Health Assist Scheme enables all Singapore Citizens to receive subsidies for medical care at participating General Practitioner (GP) clinics. More details here.
