Currently, there is no charge for setting up a SPEED Pay (GIRO) arrangement.
You can pay your polyclinic bills from participating polyclinics by SPEED Pay (GIRO), except for items purchased at our retail pharmacy.
Your Medisave account will be deducted first for payment. Any balance amount will then be deducted through SPEED Pay (GIRO) thereafter.
Please inform our staff at the registration or payment counter at the polyclinic that you visited, within seven working days.
Deduction will be on the 10th or 25th of the month. If the date falls on a Public Holiday, Saturday or Sunday, the deduction will be made on the next working day.
You may make payment for any particular bill via the various payment modes stated in the “Make Payment” FAQ. There will not be any SPEED Pay (GIRO) deduction once the outstanding bill is cleared. You will need to inform your bank if you wish to cancel the SPEED Pay (GIRO) arrangement.

Our polyclinics carry a wide range of standard or common medication required by the majority of our patients.
We stock only a limited range of non-standard medication for the convenience of patients who may require them. If you are prescribed a medication that is not available at our clinic, you can :
Our polyclinic pharmacy stocks standard medication for the type of patients that we serve. Given the limited size of our pharmacy, we are not able to stock all medication for patients discharged from hospitals. Hospital pharmacies are significantly larger than the polyclinic pharmacies and their patients may have more complex conditions, therefore they may stock a wider range of medication for their patient type.
For medication prescribed by our doctors, you may submit the receipt to our payment counter during your next visit to the polyclinic. Our staff will check the available balance in the Medisave account and arrange for a deduction of the charge through the Medisave account.
Alternatively, you can request the polyclinic doctor or pharmacy staff to indicate the diagnosis of your chronic condition on the prescription, so as to facilitate claims at the pharmacies of external institutions.
We do not accept returned drugs due to hygiene and safety reasons.

While the vast majority of medical conditions can be managed in primary care, either in our polyclinics or GP Clinics, some patients may need specialist consultation. To allow us to better target specialist resources and subsidies for patients with clinical needs, there is a need to ensure that only those requiring specialist services are referred to Specialist Outpatient Clinics (SOC). That is why we require patients to be first assessed by the polyclinics for referrals to the SOC as subsidised patients.
