Medication Management 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 goes through every current medicine and the doctor's latest list.
• Medicines are sorted into a labelled weekly pack by day and time.
• The nurse checks for duplicates, clashes, and doses that look wrong, and flags them.
• The family is shown how the pack works and what each medicine is for.
• A written visit summary is left for the patient's own doctor.

Who needs this

People on many medications — especially the elderly or those recently discharged with a changed medication list — and families worried that doses are being missed, doubled, or muddled.

How often: Often weekly for pill-pack setup, or a one-off review after a hospital stay or a change in medicines.

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

• New confusion, drowsiness, falls, or a rash after a medication change
• Two medicines that look like they do the same thing, or a dose that seems too high
• Doses regularly missed or doubled despite the pack

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