Our Story

HICAPS was formed in June 1998 in response to the need to provide an efficient and effective electronic claim solution for the Healthcare sector.

Today, 23+ years on, HICAPS is utilised by 100% of Private Health Funds in Australia and has over 90,000 registered health service providers nationally that provide patients the convenience of automatic claims processing on the spot, in the practice.

The HICAPS solution also provides Medicare processing, the lodgement of WorkSafe (Vic) claims, the processing of pre-approved treatment services by the Insurance Commission of WA, and can be used to process Gap, and fully patient funded services via Credit Card and EFTPOS. HICAPS can also be used by health services providers to electronically lodge Overseas Healthcare claims today for select health funds that are enabled on the HICAPS system.

HICAPS continues to offer innovation and efficiency to the healthcare sector and remains Australia’s leading claims solution for health service providers.

HICAPS is available to participating health services providers in 21 health modalities including General Practitioners, Medical Specialists, Dental, Optical, Physiotherapy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, Remedial Massage, Podiatry, Speech Therapy, Counselling and Audiology.

Today a HICAPS terminal can be found in over 30,000 healthcare practices and medical centres across Australia, with over 114,000 claims processed through the HICAPS system every day.
