HICAPS
St Lukes participates in the Health Industry Claims and Payment Service (HICAPS). HICAPS is an electronic claiming process which offers members automatic claims processing at the point of service.
Members with Extras cover will be issued with a St Lukes membership card that provides access to the HICAPS service. Your St Lukes membership card will be activated once all waiting periods have been served, we have received your transfer details from your previous insurer if you are transferring and we have received your first premium payment.
HICAPS is available at participating dentists, optometrists, physiotherapists, podiatrists, chiropractors, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, acupuncturists, remedial masseurs, dieticians and speech therapists.
Health Point
St Lukes offers HealthPoint as a claiming option. HealthPoint is an application which allows providers to process electronic private health fund claims through their EFTPOS terminal.
Customer Care Centres and Agents
Claims can be paid at any St Lukes Customer Care Centre or agency.
St Lukes Customer Care Centres are cashless. That means you will still be able to submit your claim at one of our centres, however we will not be able to process these for you immediately. St Lukes aims to have your benefits paid into your bank account within three days of claim submission.
You will need your St Lukes membership card in order to claim at an agency and agents are restricted from paying benefits on some services.
