Subsidised referral
Hi. May I ask , once we confirmed out pregnancy with polyclinic, they will make a referral to our hospital of choice right? Do I need to follow up and make a call to hospital or wait for their call to secure an appointment? Doc didn't mention earlier if I should make an appointment
hi i went to polyclinic to get a referral to my preferred hospital which is at kkh. the staff helped me to make the appointment over the counter and told me that they will send me an sms but i didnt received any until i checked my health hub. the moment i checked my health hub, i already missed my 1st appointment so i called polyclinic back and told them about it and they helped me to scheduled a new appointment for me. lesson learned! be sure to check your health hub if you didnt receive any sms for your appointment ✌️
Read moreHello! I went to polyclinic and they asked which hospital I would prefer to be referred to so I chose KKH. They informed me to wait for KKH to call to give me an appointment date. I waited about 2 weeks because I detected my pregnancy early (before 6 weeks) so they said my appointment wouldn’t be so soon :)
Read morehey there mummies! Thanks for the replies. just to clarify , yes I've gotten the referral letter to KKH by doc. But she didn't mention anything about going to any counter to make an appointment with kkh 😅 should I wait for a call by Tuesday or I can follow-up on my own to make an appointment?
I went to Tampines polyclinic and right after getting the doctor referral, I was directed to the level where they scheduled appointment and received my date immediately. Probably depends which polyclinic u went to. But I don’t have to wait for kkh to call me.
I just went for a referral 2 weeks ago, they told me the hospital would send you and sms for your appointment within 2 weeks. If they didn't you can call to book an appointment yourself. I got an appointment within a week.
by right polyclinic is supposed to refer you directly with an appt. not sure what’s the practice in ur polyclinic but i was referred to a patient service staff who booked for me directly, not by the dr
polyclinic will arrange and you will receive the hospital appointment details once confirm..
you should have memo with you from polyclinic. or you may check in you health hub app.
