Clearance Request form

Complete and return this form if you are transferring from another fund and HBA will cancel your existing health fund membership for you.

Your previous fund will subsequently forward a Clearance Certificate to us that will confirm your previous cover details so we are able to apply all appropriate waiting period waivers on your new membership, determine your Federal Government Rebate and identify your Lifetime Health Cover status - including your Certified Age at Entry, any applicable loadings and accumulated days without hospital cover.

If your previous fund sends you the Clearance Certificate directly, please forward it to HBA for processing.

Please note that you must personally advise your bank to cancel any direct debit arrangement with your existing health fund.
