Blood Tests at Home in Singapore

What it costs

typically S$115–200 per visit for the nurse's time. Consumables are billed separately at cost — no markup. The fee also covers travel within mainland Singapore and a written summary for the patient's doctor. See the full pricing list.

Surcharges, where they apply:

• Same-day / urgent (booked within 24 hours): +S$60
• Off-island / remote zones (Sentosa, Jurong Island, Tuas South): +S$55
• Visits beyond 60 minutes: +S$60 per additional 30 minutes

What happens during the visit

• The nurse confirms which tests the doctor has ordered.
• Blood is drawn safely and the site checked for bleeding.
• Samples are labelled and sent to an accredited laboratory.
• Results are returned to the requesting doctor.
• A written visit summary is left for the patient's own doctor.

Who needs this

People who find it hard to travel for a blood test — the frail, bedridden, or recently discharged — and anyone whose doctor has requested blood work that can be done at home.

How often: As often as the doctor requests — a one-off test, or regular monitoring for conditions like diabetes or kidney disease, or while on certain medications.

Subsidies you may be eligible for

Eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs may qualify for AIC-subsidised home nursing and the Home Caregiving Grant. See home nursing subsidies for who qualifies and how to apply.

When to call a doctor

• Ongoing bleeding, a large bruise, or swelling at the puncture site
• Feeling faint or unwell after the draw that doesn't settle
• Redness, warmth, or pain at the site over the next few days

For urgent or severe symptoms, call 995 or go to the nearest A&E.
