Yes, HCF members may have to pay out-of-pocket, depending on their policy and procedure. While some preventative treatments are fully covered under HCF’s no-gap network, other procedures may require partial payment. It’s important to check your policy details to understand what is covered and confirm costs before your appointment.

To check if your HCF plan includes a specific dental treatment, follow these steps:

  1. Review your policy documents.
    • Check your HCF policy documents or product guide for details about what dental services are included and the percentage or amount HCF will pay.
    • Look for information on preventative, general, and major dental services, as cover varies depending on the type of treatment.
  2. Use the HCF online member portal.
    • Log in to your HCF Member Account online or via the HCF app.
    • Check the Cover or Benefits section to see what dental services are included in your plan.
  3. Contact HCF customer service.
    • Reach out to HCF directly for assistance.
    • Provide them with the specific dental treatment you’re inquiring about, and they can confirm your cover and any out-of-pocket costs.
  4. Request a pre-treatment estimate.
    • Ask a dentist from our team for a written quote or treatment plan for the specific procedure.
    • Submit this quote to HCF (via the member portal, app, or by email/fax) for a pre-treatment estimate. HCF will review the quote and let you know how much they will pay and what your out-of-pocket costs will be.
  5. Understand annual limits.
    • Check your annual dental limits in your policy.
      HCF policies often have a maximum amount you can claim for dental services each year. Once you reach this limit, you’ll need to pay for any additional treatments out of pocket.

If you’re not sure about your HCF dental cover for a specific treatment, our team can provide a detailed quote for you to submit to HCF for a pre-treatment estimate. As a preferred provider in HCF’s No-Gap Provider network, we work within their benefit limits to help minimise or eliminate out-of-pocket costs for your dental care.

Yes, HCF members can claim their benefits on the spot at Redlands Gentle Dental Care. The clinic uses HICAPS, which processes claims directly with your health fund after your appointment. This eliminates the need for manual claim submissions and makes payments more straightforward. You only pay any remaining balance, if applicable, simplifying the entire process for patients.
If you exceed your HCF cover limits during a treatment plan, you’ll need to pay the remaining costs out of pocket. HCF’s annual limits cap the amount they’ll pay for dental services in a year, so any expenses beyond that limit become your responsibility.
