NSF medical services

[Keen]

i understand that if i go to polyclinic and goverment hospital... i do get free treatment if i am sick/injured... but how about dental services? is it free also? heard that it is not free if you go to polyclinics...

[Darkness]

if i still remember correct, for NSF u get to claim up to $70 or $90 per yr for ur dental. You can go anywhere to do ur dental. After u do ur dental u pay for it urself, take the reciept and send in a claims from thru ur unit admin office.

 

check with ur unit admin they will be able to help u better.

btw if u go to the unit/camp DO (Dental Officer) it is free for the general stuff atleast. As to whether it is good or not depends on the DO itself.

Go to your camp's dentist first... Any procedure that he / she cannot do, get them to refer you... It's way cheaper with their referral...

Yep, just make an appointment with the medic at the medical centre.

 

I developed a funny rash during my service and MO referred me to NSC, did not pay a single though the wait was very long, rash was almost healed when I went there.

NO.

 

unless u were to book an appointment at ur camp designated medical centre from other camp.Purely SAF internal.

 

However, you are able to claim half of the bill each time when u see a dentist outside, up to a maximum of $70 a yr.

[Ahdi]

correct. but when they refer u outside for eg wisdom tooth surgery, you would still have to pay for the consultation. but the surgery will be covered.

Consultation pay a bit lah but the main bulk of the cost of offset liao mah... I recently went for a minor op and only paid $18 for the entire procedure... Think the bill was about $500+...
