We offer Hicaps & CDBS
HICAPS (Health Industry Claims and Payments Service) is an electronic system that your healthcare provider can use to process your private health insurance, Medicare or WorkSafe Victoria claims instantaneously.
How does HICAPS work?
Once you’re ready to pay for your appointment, you first swipe your health fund card through the HICAPS terminal. Immediately, the machine sends the details of your claim to your insurer. In seconds, your claim should be processed. If your claim covers the entire cost of your treatment, you won’t need to pay anything further.
If your insurer’s contribution only covers part of your treatment, you’ll need to pay the remainder out of pocket (also known as a gap payment). You would pay the gap using EFTPOS or another method that suits you and your healthcare professional.
CDBS (Child Dental Benefits Schedule)
The CDBS is a Medicare-funded dental program for children whose families receive Family Tax Benefit Part A, and other eligible benefits. These children are entitled to up to $1000 of dental treatment over two calendar years for a range of services, including examinations, cleaning, x-rays, fillings, fissure sealants, extractions and root canal therapy. The CDBS does not cover orthodontics or cosmetic dental treatment.
