CLAIM EXTRAS ON THE SPOT WITH YOUR MOBILE

All you need is a supported Android or Apple device^ and the My Membership app to get money back in your pocket on your favourite extras.
ABOUT HCF'S DIGITAL CARD
Who can use it
HCF's digital card is available to primary policyholders+ with a supported Apple or Android mobile device^. Other members on the policy will need to continue using their physical cards.

Apple and Android users with a supported device^ can use the QR code on their digital card to claim at extras providers with HICAPS Trinity payment terminals.
Android users also have the option of using tap-and-go to claim at extras providers with HICAPS VX, HICAPS Trinity or CommBank Smart Health payment terminals.
You can use your digital card in the same way in hospitals for eligibility checks.
Where to find it
