Functional Assessment Report (FAR)

The Functional Assessment Report (FAR) evaluates the need for assistance in Activities of Daily Living. The assessment is required when applying for government support schemes administered by Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), including the Pioneer Generation Disability Assistance Scheme, Home Caregiving Grant, and the Migrant Domestic Worker Levy Concession for Persons with Disabilities.

Charges apply for the FAR at all healthcare institutions, regardless of the outcome of scheme application. Do note that this cannot be claimed under Medisave or MediShield Life, and will be included in your final bill.
