Claiming your Budget Extras benefits
1.
We use HICAPS and Health Point electronic systems that let you claim most of your Extras benefits on the spot after your consultation. Simply give the service provider your membership card. If there is a difference between your Extras benefits and the fee charged by your provider, you will need to pay this at the time of service.
2.
Members can also claim using our Navy Health digital services. Our mobile app can be downloaded through the App Store, Google Play Store, or via the Member Portal. This is the preferred method for Orthodontic, Ambulance, MPAs, and Pharmacy claims as they cannot be claimed through HICAPS or Healthpoint.
3.
If you are unable to claim using either of the above methods, you can submit your claim online through the Member Portal, or complete a claim form and post, email, or fax it to us.
