HCI members have access to a simple and convenient way to claim benefits. Electronic claiming systems such as HICAPS let you claim your extras benefit right there, on the spot, after the consultation with health service providers such as dentists, optometrists, chiropractors, physiotherapists, podiatrists and a number of other therapies.
If your claims are not processed at the point of treatment through an electronic swipe card system such as HICAPS, you can forward your claims to us by:
Mail to PO Box 931 Burnie, TAS 7320
Fax to 1800 643 969
In person at 25 Cattley Street, Burnie
Email to enquiries@hciltd.com.au
With one swipe of your HCI membership card through an EFTPOS style terminal your health service provider can have the cost of your consultation assessed electronically. Based on your level of cover, entitlements will be authorised on the spot. You will need to pay the difference (if any) between your Extras benefit, which HCI pays directly to the practitioner, and the fee charged.
If you have paid the account, your benefit can be paid electronically into your nominated bank account. You will receive separate notification as to the payment details.
If you have paid the account, a cheque will be made payable to you, or if you have not paid the account, a cheque will be made payable to the practitioner who provided the treatment.
