Screen for Life (SFL) is the national screening programme by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) that offers Singaporeans and Permanent Residents health screening recommendations based on age and gender.
In line with MOH’s vision for “One Singaporean, One Family Doctor”, and to make screening and follow-up accessible to Singaporeans, all CHAS GP clinics are required to offer SFL subsidies with effect from 1 September 2017. We believe this will support the shift towards primary care leading screening and anchoring chronic disease management in the community.
Singaporeans for the following screening services
recommended by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) are eligible for SFL subsidies:
Under SFL, Singaporeans are eligible for subsidised screening and one post-screening consultation (if required) at a low, fixed fee at any CHAS GP clinic as follows:
Current standardised screening rates for Permanent Residents (from 1 April 2024)
Permanent Residents (PR) who meet the screening criteria may tap on HPB’s standardised screening test rates. GPs should inform eligible PRs of the rates offered under SFL, as well as prevailing consultation charges before proceeding with screening. Rates for SFL screening for PRs before GST are as follows:
- HbA1c: $9.50
- Fasting Blood Glucose: $5.50
- Colorectal Screening/ FIT:
- Until 30 June 2024: $32
- From 1 July 2024: $28
- Pap Test: $12
- HPV-DNA: $45
MOH launched the online
Diabetes Risk Assessment (DRA) tool on 1 September 2017 as part of the efforts to go upstream in preventing diabetes. As part of a three-year pilot, the enhanced SFL subsidies for cardiovascular screening will be extended to individuals aged 18 – 39 years old who have been assessed to be ‘at risk’ of diabetes via the DRA.
Individuals found to be "at higher risk" after completing the DRA will receive an e-screening invitation for subsidised screening rates.
