How to claim

Extras claims should be fast and hassle-free – here are a few ways to get the job done (for most services).

For info on services with additional requirements, eligibility criteria or guidelines (e.g. Healthy Lifestyle programs, Aids & Appliances, Orthodontia and Pharmaceuticals), receipts, limits and more, please see Claiming essentials below.

1. On the spot (HICAPS)

If your provider has a HICAPS machine, they can swipe your membership card and your claim will be processed straightaway. All you do is pay any remaining balance.

2. Online

Head to Online Member Services and hit the Submit claim button. Upload up to four photos or PDFs of your receipts – that’s four claims in one go!

3. Member app

Log in to the Teachers Health member app, take a (good quality) photo of your official receipt and submit your claim. And hey presto, it’s done!

  

4. Claim form

Complete a claim form, attach your receipt and submit it:
