ADF FAMILY HEALTH PROGRAM IS NOW AVAILABLE ON HEALTHPOINT

HealthPoint is delighted to welcome the ADF Family Health Program onboard.

What is the ADF Family Health Program?

The ADF Family Health Program is a government initiative to assist the families of persons who are currently serving in the Australian Defence Force.  Members of the program can access benefits in addition to any Private Health benefits they may be entitled to.

The great news is this means your patients can benefit from less out of pocket expenses.

How does the ADF Family Health Program work with Private health insurance?

If a patient does have Private health insurance, providers will need to ‘swipe’ the Private Health insurance card first, and then use the ADF Family Health Program card and enter the ‘gap’ amount to be paid by the Program. It is imperative that providers only enter the difference between the Private Health Insurance benefit and the provider charge when accessing payment via the ADF Family Health Program.  

Benefits provided under the ADF Family Health program are not unlimited.

Does the patient have to hold private Health Insurance to receive a benefit?

If a patient does not have Private Health insurance, benefits for services will still be provided by the ADF Family Health program.  Simply swipe the patients ADF Family Health Program card, and any available benefit will be paid.

What modalities are accepted by ADF Family Health Program?

The ADF Family Health Program will accept claims from the following modalities for their members when using HealthPoint:
