Mr Koh Kian Beng, 56, will enjoy more relief from his medical bills because of the revised income eligibility criteria for the various healthcare subsidy schemes announced by the Health Ministry yesterday.
As a Community Health Assist Scheme (Chas) Orange cardholder now, Mr Koh receives up to $50 in subsidy for each visit to his general practitioner to keep his hypertension in check. That amount will be increased to $80 when he becomes a Blue card holder under the revised criteria by October.
