Doctor Anywhere charges S$27.25 for a GP video consultation during the day in 2026, jumping to S$49.05 after 9pm, both inclusive of GST and before any medication. That is the headline number most people never check before they tap 'consult now'. Pay S$29.90 a year for the Healthwise plan and the same daytime consult drops to S$14.17, which is where the app starts to beat a heartland clinic for anyone who falls sick more than twice a year. Doctor Anywhere is Singapore's most-downloaded telemedicine app, licensed by MOH under the Healthcare Services Act, and it does cover the boring stuff well: a digital MC, a prescription, medicine to your door. But the price you actually pay swings on the hour you consult, what you order in meds, and whether you remember the delivery rules. This guide lays out every verified 2026 fee, the subscription maths, and the moment when a S$10 walk-in at a polyclinic is still the smarter call.
The app runs on a per-consult model unless you buy a plan. A general practitioner video consult during standard hours, which Doctor Anywhere defines as 6:00am to 8:59pm, is S$27.25. After 9:00pm and through to 5:59am, the same consult is S$49.05. Both figures already include GST, which sits at 9% in 2026, so there is no nasty addition at checkout. Medication, if the doctor prescribes any, is charged separately on top.
Go beyond a GP and the price climbs. A specialist video consult starts from S$76.30 for 15 minutes. Allied sessions such as mental wellness, nutrition and fitness, or a lactation consultant run S$119.90 for a full 60-minute slot. These are not impulse buys, but they are often cheaper and faster than the equivalent in-person specialist appointment, where you also pay for the trip and the wait.
If you are a tertiary student in Singapore, the rate is materially lower. Sign in to the app with your school email and a 24-hour GP consult is S$11.99, with the after-hours band (9pm to 6am) at S$28.34. A mental wellness session is S$107.91. That student GP price undercuts almost every walk-in clinic in the country, which makes the app a genuine money saver for anyone still in NUS, NTU, SMU or a poly.
| Service | Pay-per-use | Healthwise plan | Student rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| GP, standard hours (6am to 8:59pm) | S$27.25 | S$14.17 | S$11.99 |
| GP, after hours (9pm to 5:59am) | S$49.05 | S$35.97 | S$28.34 |
| Specialist (15 min) | from S$76.30 | from S$76.30 | from S$76.30 |
| Mental wellness / nutrition (60 min) | S$119.90 | S$119.90 | S$107.91 |
Doctor Anywhere's subscription is where the saving lives. The Healthwise plan costs S$29.90 a year and drops every GP video consult to S$14.17 in standard hours and S$35.97 after hours. It also gives you 3-hour medicine delivery and access to its panel of 300-plus partner clinics for in-person visits. Healthwise Plus is S$39.90 a year and adds a one-year group personal accident policy with 24/7 worldwide cover, underwritten by Singlife.
Run the maths against the pay-per-use price. The plan saves you S$13.08 on each daytime GP consult (S$27.25 minus S$14.17). At S$29.90 for the year, the plan breaks even on the third consult. So if you, or the household members you consult for, see a GP through the app three or more times a year, the basic plan is already cheaper than paying as you go. Most families with young kids clear that bar by March.
Read the fine print before you tap subscribe. The plan is valid for 12 months from purchase, renews automatically each year, and there are no refunds for the unused portion if you cancel mid-term. Treat it like any recurring subscription: worth it if you use it, dead money if you forget you have it. If your year of GP visits is genuinely one cough and done, skip the plan and pay the S$27.25 once.
The consultation is only half the bill. After a video consult, standard medicine delivery in a 3-hour window is free, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week including public holidays. That free option is the default and covers most situations.
The fees appear when you want it faster or live somewhere awkward. Same-day delivery is free if your order is S$60 or more, but costs S$10 if the order is under S$60. Deliveries to secured locations, such as certain condos, army camps and restricted buildings, can carry an extra S$15. A failed delivery that needs a re-attempt costs S$20. None of these are huge on their own, but a S$27.25 consult plus a S$10 rush fee plus a S$15 secured-building surcharge is suddenly S$52 before the medicine itself.
The practical move is to use the free 3-hour standard window unless you genuinely cannot wait, keep your delivery address out of the secured-location list where possible, and make sure someone is home for the drop. For a like-for-like cost picture against turning up in person after hours, our 24-hour clinic fees guide shows what the same late-night sore throat costs at a physical clinic.
Doctor Anywhere is not the only MOH-licensed option, and the cheapest sticker price is not always Doctor Anywhere. WhiteCoat, Speedoc and Doctor World all run GP teleconsults, and each prices and bundles differently. The table below is a snapshot of advertised base GP fees; every provider adds surcharges for after-hours, weekends and public holidays, and medication is always extra.
Price is the obvious axis, but it is not the only one. The MaNaDr episode is the cautionary tale here. MOH revoked MaNaDr Clinic Pte Ltd's licence to provide outpatient medical services from 20 December 2024, after investigations found teleconsultations lasting one minute or less that still produced prescriptions and MCs, plus poor case notes. With the revocation, its CHAS, MediSave and Healthier SG accreditations ceased, and MOH referred 41 doctors to the Singapore Medical Council. The lesson is to weigh consultation quality and licensing, not just the lowest fee. You can verify any provider's licence on the MOH and HealthHub registers before you trust it with a diagnosis.
| App | Base GP teleconsult | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Doctor Anywhere | S$27.25 (day), S$49.05 (after hours) | Healthwise plan cuts it to S$14.17; 300+ panel clinics |
| WhiteCoat | from S$25 (Mon-Sat 8am-8pm) | S$35 for evening band; meds delivered, MC in-app |
| Speedoc | varies by service | Consult fee often includes same-day delivery; also house-call visits |
| MaNaDr | from S$8.20 advertised | Clinic licence revoked Dec 2024; verify provider licensing first |
Telemedicine handles minor, non-emergency conditions well: coughs, colds, fever, sore throat, mild stomach upsets, skin rashes, urinary symptoms, prescription refills, and follow-ups. The doctor can issue a digital medical certificate after the consult if your condition warrants one, and Singapore employers accept e-MCs from MOH-licensed providers the same way they accept a paper MC.
It cannot do everything. Anything that needs a physical examination, a swab, a blood test, an X-ray, stitches, or hands-on assessment will get bumped to an in-person visit, and a good doctor will tell you so rather than guess over video. Chest pain, breathing difficulty, severe bleeding, stroke symptoms or any genuine emergency is a 995 or A&E situation, never a video call. The honest framing is that telemedicine is a triage and convenience layer, not a replacement for a clinic when your body needs to be in the room.
On payment and subsidies, set expectations. Doctor Anywhere's per-consult and plan fees are private out-of-pocket costs; the headline GP rates are not CHAS-subsidised polyclinic prices. Some employer and insurer tie-ups change this. Great Eastern Integrated Shield policyholders, for example, have had access to GP teleconsults through Doctor Anywhere as a plan benefit, so it pays to check what your own Integrated Shield plan or company health benefit already covers before paying yourself. For how the public layer underneath all of this works, see MediShield Life versus an Integrated Shield plan.
Doctor Anywhere saves you money in three clear cases. First, if you are a student paying S$11.99 a consult, it beats almost any walk-in. Second, if you or your household see a GP three or more times a year, the S$29.90 Healthwise plan turns the per-visit cost into S$14.17 and pays for itself fast. Third, if it is 2am, you have a minor ailment, and the alternative is a S$110 after-midnight clinic visit plus transport, a S$49.05 teleconsult with free 3-hour delivery is the cheaper door.
It does not save you money if you are CHAS-eligible and your condition can wait for a S$10-ish subsidised polyclinic or CHAS GP slot, or if you would only ever use it once a year. And it is the wrong tool entirely when the problem needs hands-on care. The smart play is to know your own usage pattern, treat the plan as a deliberate budget line rather than a default, and keep the app for what it is genuinely good at. A predictable medical-bill year is easier to absorb when the rest of your finances have a buffer, which is what a healthy hospital plan plus savings are for.
A GP video consult is S$27.25 during standard hours (6am to 8:59pm) and S$49.05 after hours (9pm to 5:59am), both inclusive of GST and before medication. Specialist consults start from S$76.30. With the S$29.90 Healthwise plan the daytime GP rate drops to S$14.17, and tertiary students pay S$11.99.
The S$29.90-a-year plan cuts each daytime GP consult by S$13.08 and breaks even on your third consult of the year. If you or your household see a GP three or more times annually, it saves money; if you consult once a year, skip it and pay per use. It auto-renews and has no mid-term refund.
Yes. After your video consult, the doctor can issue a digital MC if your condition warrants one, delivered through the app. Singapore employers accept e-MCs from MOH-licensed telemedicine providers the same way they accept a paper MC, so a teleconsult MC is valid for work or school.
Doctor Anywhere is licensed by the Ministry of Health under the Healthcare Services Act to provide outpatient medical services including telemedicine. You can verify any telemedicine provider's licence on the MOH and HealthHub registers. After MOH revoked MaNaDr Clinic's licence in December 2024, checking licensing before consulting matters more than chasing the lowest fee.
Standard delivery in a 3-hour window is free, 24 hours a day, including public holidays. Same-day delivery is free for orders of S$60 or more but costs S$10 below that. Deliveries to secured locations can add S$15, and a failed re-delivery costs S$20. Medication itself is always charged separately from the consult fee.
