What the first consultation includes
- Medical history and examination — a full health review, blood-pressure check and waist measurement.
- InBody body-composition scan — a 30-second scan that measures body fat percentage, muscle mass and visceral fat, so treatment is based on data, not just the scale.
- A personalised plan — clear options, a recommended treatment path, and a written cost breakdown. No obligation to proceed.
- 30–45 minutes with the doctor — enough time to discuss your goals, lifestyle and budget properly.
What your total cost depends on
No two treatment plans are identical, which is why a fixed price list would be misleading. Your total cost is shaped by:
- Your starting assessment — most patients need a metabolic panel, lipids, HbA1c, thyroid and hormone tests before treatment starts ($60–$200). These establish a safe baseline and are often covered by insurance.
- Your treatment path — a lifestyle-first programme for BMI 23–27.4, or a medically supervised programme that may include a prescription medicine for BMI 27.5 and above (or lower BMI with weight-related conditions, per Singapore's Asian BMI guidance).
- Follow-up frequency — monthly reviews keep treatment on track and are where progress is measured and doses adjusted.
Prescription weight-management medicines are not priced on this site. If a medicine in the GLP-1 class is prescribed for you, it is dispensed through a licensed pharmacy and the exact monthly cost is confirmed with you in consultation. See our GLP-1 weight loss guide for how this class of treatment works.
MediSave, insurance and payment options
- MediSave (CDMP) — outpatient obesity treatment can use MediSave ($500–$700 per year) under the Chronic Disease Management Programme when combined with a CDMP-covered condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure or lipid disorders. The clinic assesses eligibility and handles the paperwork.
- Integrated Shield Plans — most plans cover consultations and diagnostic tests for weight-related conditions. Medication coverage varies, so check with your insurer — the clinic provides documentation and medical reports.
- Employer benefits — many companies' flexible medical benefits cover GP and specialist visits; some include wellness benefits for weight management.
- Accepted payments — cash, NETS, Visa/Mastercard/AMEX, PayNow, and instalment plans for packages.
Coverage varies by insurer and plan, and reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. The clinic provides itemised receipts and medical reports to support claims.
Is a private clinic worth the difference?
A polyclinic referral route is the most heavily subsidised path, but typically means waiting 4–12 weeks for a specialist appointment and seeing different staff each visit. At Accord Medical Clinic you can usually be seen within 1–3 days, the same doctor sees you every visit, and the first consultation includes an InBody scan and a complete plan. For a condition that is managed over months, continuity of care is a meaningful part of success — and treating obesity early is almost always cheaper than treating the conditions it leads to.
What results look like over a year
Most patients notice appetite and energy changes within the first month, visible results by month three, and 10–15% body weight lost by month six in a supervised programme. Weight loss is not linear — plateaus are normal, and what matters is the trend over months, which the clinic tracks with InBody scans rather than the scale alone. The programme includes a structured maintenance phase so results are kept, not just achieved.
Cost questions answered
How much does weight loss treatment cost in Singapore?
At Accord Medical Clinic the first weight-management consultation is $80–$150 and includes a full health review, blood-pressure check, InBody body-composition scan and a personalised plan. Follow-up reviews are $50–$80. Lab tests are $60–$200, and the doctor-supervised lifestyle programme is $200–$500 a month. If a prescription medicine is part of your plan, it is dispensed separately and the exact cost is confirmed with you at your consultation — no obligation to proceed.
What does the first consultation include?
A 30–45 minute visit with the doctor: your medical history, blood pressure, waist measurement, an InBody scan (about 30 seconds), and a discussion of your goals, lifestyle and budget. You leave with clear options, a recommended plan, and a personalised cost breakdown. There is no commitment to continue.
Why is a weight-loss consultation more than a GP visit?
A typical GP consultation is 5–10 minutes. A weight-management first visit is 30–45 minutes and includes an InBody body-composition scan, which most GPs do not have. You see the same doctor every visit, so care is continuous rather than fragmented.
Can I use MediSave or insurance?
MediSave can be used for outpatient obesity treatment under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP), up to $500–$700 a year, when it is combined with a CDMP-covered condition such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Most Integrated Shield Plans cover consultations and diagnostic tests for weight-related conditions — medication coverage varies by policy. The clinic assesses eligibility and helps with the paperwork.
Are there payment plans?
Yes. The clinic accepts cash, NETS, Visa/Mastercard/AMEX and PayNow, and instalment plans are available for packages. A 3-month combination programme is typically $800–$1,500 and works out cheaper than paying visit by visit.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Book directly — most new patients get a same-week appointment. If you later wish to claim insurance or use MediSave, the clinic provides itemised receipts and medical reports to support your claim.
