Sign up online

Once you have picked an extras product that provides the right level of dietetics and nutrition cover for you, you can sign up online in just a few minutes or contact us to discuss your options.

Serve any applicable waiting periods

If you are new to private health insurance, you may need to serve waiting periods. If you are changing your level of cover or switching from another fund, waiting periods may apply so please contact us before starting treatment.

Check your benefits and limits and get a quote

You can check your dietetics and nutrition benefits and annual limit by logging into the HBF App or myHBF. You can see your annual limits at any time, but you will need a service quote from your provider before calling us on 133 423 to get a benefit quote.

Book an appointment

You can book an appointment with any dietitian or nutritionist that is an approved provider with HBF. To see if your provider is covered, call us on 133 423.

This will depend on the level of cover you have. After you get a treatment plan from your dietitian or nutritionist with the item numbers to be provided, give us a call on 133 423 to complete a benefit quote so you know exactly what benefits you are entitled to. Please note that waiting periods and annual limits may apply.

Most providers give you the option to claim electronically via a participating terminal. To do this, simply swipe your HBF member card when you pay and HBF will pay the provider on-the-spot. All you will need to pay is the ‘gap‘; this is the difference between what your dietitian or nutritionist charges and the benefit that HBF pays on your behalf.

Alternatively, you can pay the provider in full and submit your accounts and receipts to HBF by one of the following methods:

Health check

Health programs
