Pre-Screening
Health screening involves the use of tests, physical examinations, or other procedures to proactively detect potential conditions in our clients. This is different from diagnostic tests which are done when someone is already showing symptoms of a condition.
A one-off screening will only pick up health conditions that
are present at the time of screening. Regular screening helps to detect conditions
that may develop after the previous screening.
Chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and cancer tend to affect
individuals at certain age groups. With regular health screenings, early detection
of any conditions will allow you to take action early. This enables you to have
better outcomes towards managing your health.
No fasting is required except for Ace and Elite packages. If you are fasting, only plain water is allowed starting 8 hours before your appointment.

pressure, diabetic and blood thinning) before your health screening.
There are certain unique tests such as thyroid medications that have recommended
timings to take prior to doing the health screen. Please check with us if you have a

Currently, MediSave generally cannot be used for all health screenings. However, if you are diagnosed with a chronic condition covered under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), MediSave may be used to pay for part of the outpatient treatment cost of these diseases.
If your screening results are normal, you should continue to go
for regular screening at the recommended frequency because screening only detects
health conditions that are present at the time of screening. If you develop signs or
symptoms after your screening, please see your doctor and do not wait for your next
screening appointment.
If your screening results are abnormal, you should follow-up with your doctor
immediately even if you feel perfectly well. Early treatment and good control of
your condition can result in better outcomes and prevent or delay serious
complications.
