How to Claim
Navy Health Ltd is currently contracted by the Department of Defence to perform all claims processing for the National ADF Family Health Program.
There is an online claim limit of $1000. For amounts greater than $1000 a manual claim will be required.

- At the point of sale, using your ADF Family Health Card (if the provider has a HICAPS or HealthPoint terminal, you can locate a provider with HICAPS here);
- By utilising the online claiming functionality
- By using the ADF Family Health mobile claiming App:
- By faxing or posting your receipts with a Manual Claim Form to Navy Health
The Quick Guide below provides more detail on how to claim your benefits. For further information on how to claim call 1300 561 454.
