At Brisbane Smile Boutique we offer the fastest and easiest way for you to find out your benefit, coverage and then immediately claim your private dental health insurance refund with HICAPs.

What is HICAPS?

HICAPS (or Health Industry Claims and Payments Service) is Australia’s leading electronic claims and payments system for healthcare providers.

Formed in 1998, HICAPS makes it easier than ever to pay less for extras services from participating dentists, doctors, optometrists, chiropractors, and physiotherapists. HICAPS is Australia’s most widely used electronic health and dental claiming service, providing members of participating health fund the convenience of on-the-spot electronic claims. This means that payments can be processed automatically at the point of service at Brisbane Smile Boutique.
The HICAPS network operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

All it takes is a swipe of your health care membership card on our HICAPS machine when you are settling your account. This will automatically calculate and pay the maximum rebate from your private health fund and then you simply pay the remainder.

You do not need to pay all of the total bill upfront, because the HICAPS ensures your health fund’s contribution is processed on the spot, to provide the rebate.
