MOE is also providing a health screening subsidy of up to $40 per staff per calendar year for staff aged 49 and below or up to $80 per staff per calendar year for staff aged 50 and above (Note: The subsidy quantum is subject to a yearly review) and can only be used on any of the optional packages and tests offered by us.
Any unused subsidy on the day of health screening cannot be accumulated nor carried forward to another screening session or future years.
All packages and tests offered for the health screening exercise can be found here.
Staff not under MOE payroll will still be able to take part in the health screening exercise, however, do note that the basic screening package will be chargeable at $10.80 each inclusive of GST, either payable by individual or the school. Data of staff not under MOE payroll will also not be captured in the Corporate Report prepared after the health screening exercise.

When pregnant, you will typically be seeing your obstetrician regularly for follow-up and antenatal care. Screening tests necessary (e.g. screening for gestational diabetes) will typically be conducted at your O&G clinic.
It is thus recommended that you do not undergo health screening with us when pregnant. If you do wish to, you are encouraged to only evaluate your lipid profile and fasting glucose.
Certain vaccinations may not be administered when you are pregnant. Please check with our doctors for suitability via teleconsult here.
If you are breastfeeding, it is acceptable to undergo health screening. However, this should not take place in lieu of or before your post natal follow up with your obstetrician.
It is acceptable to go for health screening when you are having your menses. However, kindly refrain from submitting your urine specimen when you are having your menses. It is advisable to wait till day 5 from the last day of your menstrual cycle for better accuracy.
Pap smear studies should not be conducted until after day 8 of menses.
CA 125 (Ovarian Tumor Marker) may be falsely elevated during menses, immediately before and immediately after menses. Aim to do the CA 125 (Ovarian Tumor Marker) test 1 week before or after your menses.
If you are feeling unwell, please postpone your health screening as it is an elective procedure.
You may email ask@minmed.sg to reschedule an appointment, whether it is at your office or at Minmed Health Screeners.
