A mental capacity assessment can be carried out by any doctor registered with the Singapore Medical Council for the purpose of claiming under CareShield Life/ElderShield/MediSave Care. If you require a mental capacity assessment, it is advisable to check with your assessor beforehand to confirm whether they are able to perform it, before booking a disability assessment appointment.
Depending on the applicant’s condition and needs, some cases may require a more detailed or complex mental capacity assessment that could take more time. In such cases, the assessor may charge an additional fee on top of the disability assessment fee.
