Singapore's national primary-care programme pays family doctors to keep enrolled residents healthy — capitation, structured care protocols, subsidised medicines and a national data spine. This hub explains the mechanics and indexes the complete set of official guidelines an enrolled general practitioner must follow.
Eligible residents (citizens and permanent residents, aged 40 and above) receive an invitation and enrol with one family doctor of their choice.
Co-created in person with the enrolled doctor — health goals, screenings and vaccinations due, lifestyle actions. Free to the resident; the clinic claims a fixed fee.
Chronic medications at polyclinic-comparable prices with subsidies up to 87.5%, free nationally recommended screenings and vaccinations at the enrolled clinic.
A doctor-led review each calendar year. Chronic enrollees are seen at least twice a year, at least once in person.
Residents earn Healthpoints — 3,000 points (S$20) after onboarding, with further points for completing annual check-ins.
A fixed fee for the first Health Plan discussion (once per enrollee; no consultation charge for that visit), plus a one-off IT enablement grant for a certified clinic management system.
A capitated fee per enrolled resident, tiered by risk profile, scope of care and progress on preventive and chronic care. Computed from care data submitted through the certified system — the fee schedule itself is not published; Parliament's stated benchmark is the S$100 "Care Plus" fee, "similar or higher".
A quarterly payment for continuous care of chronic enrollees — conditional on at least two chronic visits a year, one in person, at least three months apart. Roughly S$350 million reached the GP sector in 2025 across these streams.
Every requirement an enrolled clinic must follow, numbered and filed. Official documents and faithful captures of official pages are stored locally for analysis; two restricted documents (the Enrolment Programme Agreement and the Standard Operating Procedures) are represented by notes explaining their status and access path.
