The Healthier SG Pre-Enrolment Exercise is open exclusively to GPs who sign the Healthier SG letter of agreement by 15th May 2023. GPs can pre-enrol their regular chronic patients on-site via the assisted enrolment function in Primary Care Digital Services (PCDS).
When will this take place?
Pre-enrolment will take place from 1st May to 4th July 2023. You can take the opportunity to engage your regular chronic patients and pre-enrol them on-site within this period.
Who is eligible?
You can pre-enrol your regular chronic patients aged 40 years old and above, and who have had two or more chronic visits within the past calendar year. This can be the list of patients submitted in your Chronic Disease Registry, or patients who have made CHAS Chronic claims.
How do I pre-enrol eligible patients?
You can use the assisted enrolment module in the PCDS.
When will my pre-enrolled patients be eligible for Healthier SG benefits?
Healthier SG benefits such as the first Health Plan consult, free screenings and vaccinations will only commence with the main exercise from 5th July 2023. You are encouraged to schedule the 1st Heathier SG Health Plan consult for your patients from 5th July 2023 onwards.
