What could delay your claim?
The time it takes to process your claim is different from fund to fund. Some funds will be quicker to provide you with a rebate and others will take a little longer. You can check with your individual provider to find out how long you’ll have to wait before any money is in your account.
That’s why claiming through HICAPS is so great. The claim is processed immediately and you won’t have to incur any out of pocket expenses if approved for the treatment.
There are a few common reasons your claim could be delayed, including:
- Your healthcare provider isn’t a HICAPS provider.
- Your insurance premiums are not up-to-date.
- You’re still serving the waiting period for the treatment.
- You’re not covered for that service under your current policy.
- You’ve reached your annual limit for that service.
