FAQs
What is the Screen for Life program?
Screen for Life is a national screening initiative established by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) to encourage regular health screenings and follow-ups among Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.
What subsidies are available under Screen for Life?
For eligible Singapore Citizens, subsidised screenings for cardiovascular disease, cervical cancer, and colorectal cancer are accessible at $5 or less. This fixed fee covers the screening and the first follow-up consultation, if needed, exclusively at Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) General Practitioner (GP) clinics.
The Lifestyle Medical Clinic is a CHAS clinic part of this initiative.
Healthier SG (HSG)-enrolled Singapore Citizens receive full subsidies for nationally-recommended screenings at their enrolled HSG clinic. Permanent Residents are also eligible for subsidies:
Colorectal cancer - $32
Cardiovascular risk screen - From $12
Cervical cancer screen - From $18
What does the Screen for Life subsidy cover?
The subsidy for Singaporeans encompasses the screening visit, including the recommended tests conducted during that visit, the doctor's consultation fee, and the initial follow-up consultation fee if deemed necessary. Individuals opting for screening tests on separate visits will incur a distinct fixed fee.
How do I enroll in Screen for Life?
No application is necessary. Eligible Singaporeans will receive an invitation letter from the Health Promotion Board (HPB).
Can I enjoy Screen for Life subsidies if I am below 40?

Is it possible for me to undergo Screen for Life screenings and individually select additional tests provided by LMC?
