Important Information

HCF Medicover Medical Gap arrangement forms

New versions of the Medicover medical gap scheme forms are available on the Medical Provider Portal – see links above. These forms can be used to register for Medicover for the first time, register a new provider number for Medicover, changing details such as bank account or changing nomination between No Gap and Known Gap. Previous versions of HCF Medicover forms made available from May 2015 will be accepted up until 31.12.2016 however all previous versions of forms will no longer be accepted as of 01.01.2017.

Medicover Backdating Policy

If you want to use HCF’s Medicover gap scheme you must apply and be accepted by HCF to participate in your chosen Medicover arrangement for each provider location prior to providing and claiming services for an HCF member.

HCF registers Medicover applications (including additional provider locations) from the date we receive the fully completed application. In special circumstances we will backdate a maximum of 30 days from the receipt date. This means any claims for services prior to the date of registration will not be applicable for Medicover ‘extra benefits’ and claims submitted under Medicover arrangements will reject.

Eligibility for Medicover

Medicover is only available to specialist doctors working in Private Practice. Doctors employed or engaged by a publicly funded facility are not eligible to participate. It is also not available to Pathologists or Radiologists however other no gap arrangements are available.
