** Annual Value (AV) of residence as reflected on the NRICs of $21,000 and below for households with no income.
Members of the public who are on Public Assistance (PA) scheme do not need to apply as they can already receive CHAS subsidies with the PA card.
How Do I Apply
You can pick up a CHAS application form at any Public Hospital, Polyclinic, Community Centre and Club (CC) or Community Development Council (CDC). Alternatively, you can download the application form here. Only one application form is required for each household.
Please send the completed and signed application form to P.O. Box 680, Bukit Merah Central Post Office, Singapore 911536. If you or any of your family members are foreigners, please also include copies of your foreign identification documents (e.g. work permit / long term visit pass).
How Do I Know if My Application is Successful
Successful applicants will receive either a blue or orange Health Assist card, depending on the subsidy tier you are eligible for.
All eligible family members (living at the same address as included in your application) will also be issued an individual Health Assist card of the same subsidy tier. The Health Assist card is typically valid for two years.
Your Health Assist card is for your exclusive use and cannot be shared or transferred. If you lose the card, please inform the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) at 1800-ASK-CHAS (1800-275-2427) so that we can send you a new card.
