How the CHAS Dental Subsidy Scheme Works
1. Check Your CHAS Eligibility: Start by confirming that you have a valid CHAS card, which will determine the level of dental subsidies you qualify for.
2. Find a CHAS-Accredited Dental Clinic: Locate a dental clinic that participates in the CHAS scheme, as not all providers are included. For instance, EZ Dental Care is a dental clinic that offers CHAS dental subsidies.
3. Schedule a CHAS Appointment: Book an appointment for a qualifying dental service and let the clinic know you intend to use your CHAS card for the visit.
4. Present Your CHAS Card: On the day of your appointment, show your CHAS card, which is available digitally through the Singpass mobile app, at the reception. The dental clinic will check your eligibility for CHAS dental subsidies.
5. Receive Your Dental Treatment: Enjoy the necessary dental care, assured that the CHAS subsidy has been applied to reduce your costs.
6. Make Your Payment: After the CHAS dental subsidies have been deducted, pay the remaining balance for your treatment.
Your CHAS Dental Subsidy Based on Tier
The amount of dental subsidy you receive through the CHAS program is determined by your card tier, which is indicated by the color of your CHAS card. The tiers are as follows:
-
Green: This tier does not offer any CHAS dental subsidies.
-
Blue: Holders of the blue card benefit from moderate dental subsidies, designed to assist lower-income households.
-
Orange: Orange card holders qualify for dental subsidies, though specific exclusions and limits may apply.
-
Merdeka Generation (MG): Cardholders from the Merdeka Generation, typically seniors born between 1950 and 1959, receive enhanced dental subsidies.
-
Pioneer Generation (PG): Pioneer Generation cardholders, who significantly contributed to Singapore's early development, are entitled to the highest level of dental subsidies.
Comprehensive CHAS Dental Services Coverage
The CHAS (Community Health Assist Scheme) offers a wide range of dental services, categorized into three main areas:
1. Preventive Care:
This category emphasizes maintaining optimal oral health and preventing dental issues. It includes regular dental check-ups essential for early detection of potential problems. Services like scaling and polishing are also covered to help remove plaque and tartar buildup, ensuring your teeth remain healthy.
2. Basic Dental Treatments:
This segment encompasses common dental procedures that many individuals may need over time. CHAS covers essential treatments such as fillings for restoring decayed teeth and extractions when a tooth cannot be saved. These basic dental services are vital for addressing frequent dental health concerns.
3. Major Dental Work:
For more complex dental conditions, CHAS provides support for major dental procedures. This includes root canal treatments aimed at saving infected teeth, as well as subsidies for dentures, which restore functionality and aesthetics for those with missing teeth.
