HICAPS - Worksafe (Vic only)

Follow

Dental4Windows users in Victoria have the opportunity to submit HICAPS Claims for the Worksafe Health Fund.

The Worksafe health fund differs from other HICAPS Health Funds.

Transactions are not assessed immediately and no benefit is returned at the time of processing the claim.
Claims are assessed as a batch at a later time, and payments are sent to the Provider accordingly.

Worksafe does not issue a card to its members. Each patient is issued with a Claim Number that is used in place of a card number when sending claims. The Claim number is 19 digits and is comprised of:

  • The Worksafe Card no. Prefix

  • An individual patient number
