From Dec 1, 2023, patients who need surgical implants such as high-cost replacement heart valves, hearing devices, intraocular lenses for cataracts, or knee replacement implants can get higher means-tested subsidies, and not be subjected to a dollar cap.

These are among the bulk of commonly used implants in public healthcare institutions that will be included in a new Implant Subsidy List, which will kick in on the same day, said Ministry of Health (MOH) officials at a media briefing on Nov 29. They have been assessed by MOH’s Agency for Care Effectiveness (ACE) to be clinically effective and cost-effective.

MOH said lower-income patients who need high-cost implants will benefit most from the changes.
