Guide to MediSave usage for chronic disease management.

The Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) was first introduced in 2006 to help patients with chronic conditions to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for outpatient management of their conditions and help to promote health-seeking behaviours. Eligible patients can utilise their MediSave at MediSave-accredited healthcare entities (all polyclinics, all public hospitals’ specialist outpatient clinics, accredited specialist clinics, and accredited GP clinics) and subsidies at CHAS GP clinics for their chronic conditions.

These conditions often lead to more serious complications if detected late or not followed up regularly. Individuals are therefore encouraged to have a regular family doctor, undergo the recommended health screenings and have regular reviews of their chronic condition, timely medical treatment and lifestyle changes.

The CDMP currently covers a total of 25 chronic conditions:

  1. Diabetes Mellitus / Pre-diabetes

  2. Hypertension

  3. Hyperlipidemia (Lipid Disorders)

  4. Asthma

  5. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

  6. Chronic Kidney Disease (Nephritis / Nephrosis)

  7. Schizophrenia

  8. Major Depression

  9. Bipolar Disorder

  10. Anxiety

  11. Stroke

  12. Dementia

  13. Osteoarthritis

  14. Parkinson's Disease

  15. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

  16. Epilepsy

  17. Osteoporosis

  18. Psoriasis

  19. Rheumatoid Arthritis

  20. Ischaemic Heart Disease

  21. Allergic Rhinitis

  22. Gout

  23. Chronic Hepatitis B

  24. Hyperthyroidism (with effect from 1 Jan 2027)

  25. Hypothyroidism (with effect from 1 Jan 2027)

From 1 January 2027, the MediSave 500/700 will be renamed to the MediSave Chronic and Preventive Care. The withdrawal limits will be increased from $500/$700 to $700/$1,000. Patients who have received treatment within a calendar year for either two or more different CDMP conditions, or for at least one CDMP condition with recognised complications, will be eligible to use up to $1,000.
