HBF Member Plus Dental Care at Absolute Dental
Absolute Dental participates in HBF Member Plus, giving eligible HBF members a straightforward way to use their dental extras cover at our West Perth practice. If your policy includes dental benefits, our team can help process eligible claims through HICAPS at the time of your appointment.
Your rebate and out-of-pocket costs depend on your HBF cover, waiting periods, annual limits, the treatment provided and the dental item numbers claimed. For certainty, check your benefits with HBF before treatment or ask our team for an itemised estimate where appropriate.
Making the Most of Your HBF Extras Cover
HBF Member Plus is a provider network that can help eligible members get more value from their extras cover for selected dental services. HBF notes that Member Plus dental providers can help minimise out-of-pocket costs on preventive dental services.
At Absolute Dental, we can discuss the fees for your recommended treatment before you proceed. Not all services are covered by every policy, and some cosmetic or elective dental treatments may not attract a rebate. Your dentist will explain the treatment recommended for your oral health needs, and HBF can confirm what your policy may pay.
Using HBF at Your Appointment
Check your HBF benefits
Before your visit, log in to the HBF App or myHBF, or contact HBF, to check your dental benefits, waiting periods, annual limits and remaining extras balance. If you need a quote, our team can help with item numbers after your dentist has recommended treatment.
Book and mention HBF
Book a dental appointment with Absolute Dental and let our team know you are an HBF member. If you are planning treatment beyond a routine visit, ask whether an estimate can be prepared before you decide to proceed.
See your dentist
Your dentist will assess your oral health, discuss suitable options and explain the fees for the treatment proposed. Treatment suitability depends on your clinical needs, not your health fund cover.
Show your HBF member card
Bring your physical or supported digital HBF card to reception. Our team can use HICAPS to submit eligible claims electronically when the treatment and your policy allow it.
Pay the remaining gap, if any
If HBF approves a benefit, the rebate is applied through HICAPS and you pay any remaining gap on the day. If a claim cannot be processed on the spot, we can provide an itemised receipt so you can follow up with HBF directly.
What HBF Extras Can Help With
HBF extras cover may help with the cost of selected dental services, depending on the policy you hold. Dental cover is commonly organised into categories such as preventive dental, general restorative dental, major dental and implants, and orthodontics.
The amount you can claim may be affected by your level of cover, annual limits, waiting periods and the item numbers used for your treatment. HBF recommends checking your benefits and limits and getting a quote before treatment if you want to understand likely out-of-pocket costs.
Before You Claim With HBF
To claim HBF benefits for dental treatment, you generally need an active HBF extras policy that includes the service provided, any applicable waiting periods completed and available limits remaining. Claims must also meet HBF’s rules for the treatment category and provider.
Some treatments may have limited benefits, different waiting periods or no benefit under your policy. Please check your cover with HBF before treatment if rebate certainty is important to you.
Want to Check Your HBF Claim First?
If you are an HBF member, mention this when you book so we can help prepare the right details for your visit. We can process eligible claims through HICAPS where available and provide item numbers if you would like to check your benefits with HBF first.
