Need to make a hospital or medical claim? No problem!
When admitted to a hospital as a private patient, you will be asked to pay the excess (if applicable the excesses apply per-person per calendar year). After this payment all hospital accounts will be directly forwarded to us on your behalf.
Please note: For family policies, no excess applies to dependent children under the age of 18.
Doctor's accounts may include your surgeon, specialist, anaesthetist and assistant surgeon, and most doctors will also send their accounts directly to us to arrange both your HIF and Medicare benefits.
If you do happen to receive a hospital or doctor's account though, please post it directly to us at: HIF, Whadjuk Country, Reply Paid, GPO Box X2221, Perth, WA 6847.
