Private Health Insurance – Extra’s Cover – HICAPS
At all Spinecare Chiropractic locations across Adelaide you are able to utilize your private health insurance rebates for chiropractic care. All our practices have access to our HICAPS system, which allows for on the spot rebates!
When you swipe your private health insurance swipe cards through our HICAPS machine it immediately gives us your health rebate. Then you just pay the gap on the day! It’s quick and easy and saves you time and money sending in receipts and waiting for your money back.
As every private health insurance company is different, they all have different rebates and coverage. It’s best to check with your private health insurance company exactly what level of cover you have and what you will get back for your chiropractic visits.
Some Spinecare practices may even be member’s preferred providers and give extra returns per visit depending again on your level of cover and location. Some insurance companies even give bonus claims that you may be able to use during your care.
