CDMP · Long-term conditions
Regular doctor reviews for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other long-term conditions, with tests and medicines adjusted as things change. At Fusion Medical, you can use MediSave and CHAS towards the cost.
Regular reviews that track your condition over time, not one reading in isolation.
The Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) is a national programme for the outpatient care of 23 chronic conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, asthma and stroke. It lets you use MediSave for the treatment of these conditions, alongside any CHAS subsidies, at participating clinics. Care is built around regular reviews of your readings, tests and medicines.
Each review looks at your symptoms, home readings, test results, medicines and side effects, and checks for complications. Your doctor adjusts the plan, sets the next review and arranges a referral when another professional is needed. Fusion Medical is a CHAS clinic and a Healthier SG clinic, and you can use MediSave for eligible CDMP treatment here.
How reviews work
Chronic care is a repeating loop. Your doctor measures how your condition is doing, adjusts medicines and goals, and checks for complications at suitable intervals. Referrals are made when the condition, a complication or a treatment needs another professional, and the next review is set before you leave.
Track the readings that matter
Readings, symptoms and laboratory markers for your condition are tracked from one review to the next, so decisions rest on the pattern rather than a single result. Your doctor may ask you to bring home readings, such as blood pressure or blood glucose.
Adjust medicines and goals
Medicines, self-care goals and referrals are adjusted to what you need now. Self-care covers food, activity, smoking and sleep, with goals you can realistically reach. Tell the doctor about side effects or any difficulty taking treatment as planned.
Check for complications
Your response to treatment is reviewed, and complications are screened for at suitable intervals: eyes, kidneys, feet, heart or others, depending on the condition. Referrals are arranged when a condition, complication or treatment needs another professional.
Who it's for
The CDMP covers 23 chronic conditions. Your doctor must diagnose the condition, and claims must relate to the condition or its complications.
Chest pain, stroke symptoms or trouble breathing? Seek urgent medical attention.
Diabetes (including pre-diabetes), hypertension, lipid disorders such as high cholesterol, stroke and ischaemic heart disease.
Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and allergic rhinitis.
Chronic kidney disease (nephritis/nephrosis), benign prostatic hyperplasia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, gout and rheumatoid arthritis.
Dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, psoriasis and chronic hepatitis B.
Anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These can be claimed only at selected clinics, and not at Fusion Medical.
Your review, step by step
Bring your home readings, a list of all your medicines and supplements, and recent reports from other doctors.
Talk through your symptoms, side effects and any difficulty taking treatment. The doctor examines you and checks for complications.
Agree on tests, medicines, referrals and self-care goals you can realistically reach.
Come back at the recommended interval to review your results and how the treatment is working.
Good to know
One reading is a snapshot. Your doctor looks at the pattern over months.
Tell us about emergency visits, new symptoms, side effects and any trouble taking your medicines. Seek urgent medical attention for chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke symptoms, severe low blood sugar or sudden confusion; don't wait for your next review.
The CDMP is a national programme for the structured outpatient care of 23 recognised chronic conditions, including monitoring, treatment and follow-up. It lets eligible patients use MediSave for the outpatient treatment of these conditions, on top of any CHAS subsidies. You can use MediSave and CHAS for eligible CDMP treatment at Fusion Medical.
The CDMP covers 23 chronic conditions: diabetes (including pre-diabetes), hypertension, lipid disorders, stroke, ischaemic heart disease, asthma, COPD, allergic rhinitis, chronic kidney disease, benign prostatic hyperplasia, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, gout, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, psoriasis, chronic hepatitis B, anxiety, major depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The last four can be claimed only at selected clinics, not at Fusion Medical. A doctor must diagnose the condition.
Yes, if you are eligible, including at Fusion Medical. Under MediSave500/700 you can use up to $500 a year, or $700 a year for complex chronic care, from your own or your immediate family members' MediSave. It can pay for consultations, relevant tests, medicines and referred allied health services. A 15% cash co-payment applies to each bill, except at the Healthier SG clinic you are enrolled with; if that is Fusion Medical, it is waived here.
Care counts as complex when you are treated for two or more CDMP conditions in one visit, or for at least one CDMP condition with a recognised complication. Complex care has the higher MediSave limit of $700 a year instead of $500, and higher CHAS subsidy limits.
It helps. A regular doctor can read your trends, avoid repeating tests and keep your medicines, complications and referrals coordinated. If you also see other doctors, bring their reports and medicine lists so everything can be reviewed together.
Bring your NRIC, a list of all your medicines and supplements, your home readings, recent reports and your CHAS, Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation or Healthier SG details if you have them. Note any side effects, emergency visits or new symptoms since your last review.
Seek urgent medical attention for chest pain, breathing difficulty, stroke symptoms, severe low blood sugar, confusion or any other sudden, serious change. Contact the clinic sooner than planned if your readings stay abnormal, you have new side effects, or you cannot get or take an essential medicine.
