Overview

The Urea Breath Test is a simple, non-invasive breath test that detects Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a bacterium linked to gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is widely used to confirm infection. Some preparation applies.

This add-on is best booked alongside a screening package, so your results are looked at together. Not sure if it’s already included in your package of choice? Check with us on the day of your appointment, or WhatsApp us to enquire now.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

If your question isn’t answered here, WhatsApp us — our team will tell you honestly whether this add-on is right for you.

Can I book this test without a health screening package?

Yes, you can. Do note that a consultation with our doctor is required for any test booked outside a screening package — so if you are doing this as a standalone test for other medical reasons, a consultation fee applies on top of the standalone price.

How will I receive my report?

Your results are emailed to you. If this test is bundled with a screening package, the findings are included in your full health screening report, which is also sent by email.

Is this test suitable for me?

That depends on your age, symptoms, family history and what your chosen package already covers. You may WhatsApp us to enquire about suitability. If your question is medical in nature — for example, whether it is medically necessary for you to undergo this test — we encourage you to discuss it further with our doctor by booking a consultation.

Can I claim this under insurance or Medisave?

Screening add-ons are generally not Medisave-claimable, though some corporate and insurance plans do reimburse them. Check with your insurer, and we will provide an itemised invoice for your claim.
