Wife told me to get referral from Poly will result in seeing specialist cheaper versus a referral from a private GP?

is this true? damn sian need to queue up to see a GP in Poly again
Poly doctors see public hospital doctor only

And it is Consultant, cannot see Snr Consultant

Unless you used to work in high posts Stat Board/ Ministries then can see Snr Consultant

(Based on what my friend said, his father who is a Top person in Ministry)

I dunno correct anot.

Yes, must get referral from polyclinic to get very good subsidy in public hospital.
Referral from Poly to see a young doctor in the Public Hospital who can be a rotational head of whatever department which was created. Unsubsidised, you get to see a senior doctor.
If one is registered with that private clinic under healthy SG, the referral for hospital specialists be the same subsidies as the Poly clinic referral.
