As part of Singapore's move towards a cheque-free environment, National University Hospital has transitioned to fully electronic refund methods from 1 July 2026.
Any remaining credit will first be used to pay any other outstanding hospital bills under the same patient account. If there are no other bills, the refund will be credited via PayNow to the patient's NRIC/FIN-linked account, approximately one month after the bill is finalised.
If the patient has not linked their NRIC/FIN to PayNow, the refund will remain as a credit balance in the patient's NUH account until an alternative refund arrangement is made.
For foreign patients without a PayNow account, refund request to be made via here.
