Admission and Charges

All our services, including home hospice care, day hospice care and Star PALS are provided to patients at no charge, regardless of age, religion, ethnicity, nationality and financial status.


Our services are available to all patients who are referred to HCA by their primary physician from the hospital or a private clinic. They will need to complete and submit the patient referral form found below.

Means Testing

Patients or their families are also required to complete a confidential income evaluation form – the MOH means test application form – with the help of our Patient Care Assistants. Information on the per capita income of a patient’s family and supporting documents are required.


This process will determine the exact subsidy HCA receives from MOH. This ranges from 30% to 80% of the cost of a doctor’s, nurse’s, or medical social worker’s visit for Singapore Citizens, and from 15% to 55% for Permanent Residents.

Supporting documents

We require the following from patients, their spouses and household members living at the same residence as the patient, as reflected on the NRIC/FIN/Special Pass/Foreign Passports.
