HICAPS Dentist Canning Vale

Does Dentists @ Canning Vale Offer HICAPS?

Yes. Dentists @ Canning Vale offers HICAPS on-the-spot claiming for eligible health fund members. HICAPS (Health Industry Claims and Payments Service) allows you to claim eligible dental benefits directly at the clinic on the day of your appointment, rather than paying the full fee and submitting a claim separately.

Where your health fund benefit applies, your claim is processed at our front desk, you simply pay any remaining gap. No paperwork. No waiting for a reimbursement.

How HICAPS Works

HICAPS is a real-time electronic claiming system used by dental practices, medical clinics and allied health providers across Australia. When you present your health fund card at the end of your appointment, our team processes your claim electronically through HICAPS. Your health fund’s eligible benefit is applied immediately and you pay only the remaining gap amount, if any.

Please bring your current health fund membership card or accepted digital claiming method to your appointment. A membership number alone may not be sufficient for HICAPS processing.

Which Health Funds Work with HICAPS at Our Clinic?

HICAPS works with most major Australian private health funds. At Dentists @ Canning Vale, we can process HICAPS claims for eligible members of BUPA, Medibank, HCF, HBF, NIB, CBHS, ahm, Smile.com.au, GMHBA, Qantas Assure, HIF, OneMediFund and most other private health funds that support HICAPS claiming. If you are unsure whether your fund supports HICAPS, contact your health fund directly before your appointment.

What Does HICAPS Cover?

HICAPS processes whatever your health fund determines is an eligible benefit under your policy. The amount claimable depends entirely on your health fund, your level of extras cover, your annual limits, any waiting periods and your fund’s schedule of benefits, not on HICAPS itself. HICAPS is simply the mechanism used to process the claim at the clinic.

For no-gap arrangements (such as BUPA Members First Platinum or Medibank Members’ Choice Advantage), there may be nothing to pay after HICAPS processes your claim. For standard extras policies, you will pay the gap remaining after your benefit is applied.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

To use HICAPS at Dentists @ Canning Vale, please bring your current health fund membership card. Many health funds also offer digital claiming via their mobile app, check with your fund whether digital HICAPS claiming is available for your policy. If you do not have your card or digital claiming method, you may need to pay in full and claim manually via your health fund’s rebate process after your appointment.
