Severe Disability Assessment
At Alami Clinic, we understand that navigating disability assessments can feel overwhelming. That's why our experienced team is here to guide you through every step with care and compassion. Our geriatrician is an accredited Severe Disability Assessor by the Ministry of Health (MOH), ensuring that the assessment process is handled professionally and sensitively.
What Is a Disability Assessment?
A disability assessment determines whether a patient qualifies for assistance programs aimed at improving their quality of life. This process is essential for accessing schemes such as:
- Interim Disability Assistance Programme for the Elderly (IDAPE)
- Eldershield (with private insurers like Income, Great Eastern, or Aviva)
- CareShield Life
For individuals assessed with mild or moderate disabilities, additional support may be available under programs like the Pioneer Generation Disability Assistance Scheme, Home Caregiving Grant, or Foreign Domestic Worker (FDW) Levy Concession.
How the Process Works
Our goal is to make the disability assessment as straightforward as possible. Here's how it works:
Schedule Your Appointment
Book a session with our accredited geriatrician for an in-depth evaluation.
Comprehensive Evaluation
During the assessment, we evaluate the patient's physical and mental condition to determine the severity of the disability.
Eligibility Confirmation
If assessed as severely disabled, you may qualify for full reimbursement of the assessment fees through relevant schemes. For mild/moderate disabilities, eligibility for other assistance programs will be discussed.
Fees for Disability Assessment
We believe in transparent pricing to help families plan their care effectively. The fees for disability assessments are as follows:
| Assessment Type | Price |
|---|---|
| In-clinic Assessment | $100 |
| House Visit Assessment | $250 |
**Note: Reimbursement of fees is at the discretion of the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC).
