Jokes asides, here’s a quick FAQ on your top 5 questions about CHAS.

What is CHAS?

CHAS stands for Community Health Assist Scheme. 

CHAS cardholders enjoy subsidised medical and/or dental care at participating GP and dental clinics.

It covers common illnesses (e.g. cold and fever), selected chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes and high blood pressure), and selected dental services and recommended health screenings. For the list of conditions and services covered under CHAS, please click here (opens in new tab).

What are the three types of CHAS cards?

The three colours are Green, Orange and Blue. 

They represent different levels of CHAS subsidies.

What's the difference between CHAS Green, Orange and Blue cards?

The colour of the CHAS card indicates the subsidy tier that cardholders are entitled to. The amount that cardholders pay will be based on the fees charged by the clinic, minus the CHAS subsidies.

For more information on the type of subsidies that each cardholder can receive, please refer to the CHAS website (opens in new tab).

What CHAS subsidies are available for the Pioneer and Merdeka Generations?

Yes! Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation seniors get special CHAS subsidies.

What’s more, the PG or MG card also serves as their CHAS card.
