The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) is a scheme by the Ministry of Health (MOH) that enables Singapore Citizens from lower and middle-income households to receive subsidies for medical and dental care at participating dental clinics. At dePacific Dental Group, we are proud to state that we are a participating CHAS clinic.
To find out more about CHAS subsidies and how you can apply, please visit https://www.chas.sg/.
Under the CHAS Scheme, the colour of your Health Assist card indicates the subsidy tier that you are entitled to. Please refer to the guide below to determine the subsidy amount you are entitled to for dental treatment and CHAS benefits.
To receive subsidies for your dental treatments, you will need to produce your valid CHAS or Pioneer Generation (PG) card and NRIC upon registration.
Cardholders below 15 years of age will have to present their valid Health Assist card as well as student identification, or their birth certificate
Cardholders below 21 years of age will need to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during their first visit to our clinic.

CHAS cards can only be used at participating CHAS clinics, on selected dental services. These vary depending on the location, and can be used to receive varying amounts of dental subsidies.
CHAS cards come in Green, Orange, Blue, Merdeka Generation (MG), and Pioneer Generation (PG). Eligibility depends on household monthly income per person, except for the Merdeka and Pioneer Generation Card, which are provided to any Singapore Citizen of a specific age.
Green CHAS card holders are currently not eligible for dental treatment subsidies. For orange and blue CHAS card holders, you may refer to the table/infographic above for a subsidy breakdown.
CHAS cards last for 2 years, and are automatically renewed three months before the expiry date. The colour of the card depends on household eligibility and monthly income of family members.
