We welcome and treat members of all private heath funds. If health fund participates in the HICAPS® electronic claims system, we can process your rebate immediately. Only the “gap” payment is required at time of your treatment.
If your health fund does not participate in HICAPS® or you do not have a HICAPS® compatible member card, then full payment is required at the time of your treatment. However, your health fund should pay the rebate to you directly on presentation of your account.
