If you or a loved one are managing high blood pressure (hypertension), you already know that monthly prescription refills can add up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that there are some very helpful schemes in Singapore to keep chronic medications affordable. Here is how you can get subsidized high blood pressure medicine in Singapore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you haven’t enrolled in Healthier SG<\/a> yet, this is your sign to do it. Introduced in early 2024, the Healthier SG Chronic Tier<\/a><\/strong> completely changed the landscape for managing chronic conditions at private clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you hold a CHAS, Merdeka Generation (MG), or Pioneer Generation (PG) card<\/strong>, you can now get common high blood pressure medications (like Losartan, Amlodipine, Atenolol, or Enalapril) at your enrolled neighborhood GP clinic at prices comparable to polyclinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can actually choose between the classic CHAS subsidies and the Healthier SG Chronic Tier at each visit. Your GP will help you calculate which tier gives you the best savings based on your specific prescription volume. <\/p>\n\n\n\n (Source: Healthier SG<\/a>)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n High blood pressure is officially covered under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP)<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are seeing your enrolled Healthier SG GP, you can use your MediSave to fully pay <\/strong>for your treatment up to your annual MediSave limits ($500 or $700 depending on complexity). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: The government has removed the old 15% cash co-payment rule for Healthier SG enrollees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
