Medisave Claims For Dental Treatment

It has been and will always be our clinic's policy to help our patients claim the maximum amount that MOH and CPF Board allow. We are not in the position to dictate or even advise our patients on what to do with their own money. On the other hand, these organisations have the duty of protecting our patients' Medisave reserves. The maximum claimable amounts stipulated by MOH are not meant to cover 100% of the bill. As private practitioners, we always try to report a procedure that benefits our patients most.

In the event of administrative "errors" or "overclaims", the amount deducted from the patient's account must be returned. The clinic is the sole party taking the financial risk of maximising their patients' Medisave claims and we would appreciate it if our patients can make up the difference in the event of a "refund". Under such circumstances where claims are not approved or only partially approved, it must be noted that it is not the clinic that has overcharged the patient but rather the authorities protecting the patient's Medisave reserves.
