Health Fund Benefits at Loom Optical

What can I claim with my health fund?

If you have extras cover with your private health fund, you can usually claim benefits on:

• Optical frames

• Prescription lenses

• Prescription sunglasses

• Contact lenses

Please note: Health fund rebates generally don’t apply to consultations, procedures, or diagnostic tests.

At Loom Optical, we have HICAPS available on-site, making it easy to claim your rebate straight away — you'll simply pay the gap between your rebate and the total cost of your glasses. We can process claims for most major, and many smaller, health funds.

Please remember to bring your membership card with you to your appointment.

How much will my health fund cover?

The amount you can claim depends on:

• Your level of extras cover

• Your health fund’s optical benefits

• How much you’ve already claimed in your current benefit year (usually 1 January to 31 December)

We recommend checking your health fund policy for the most up-to-date information before your visit.

No-Gap and Known-Gap Glasses

We offer a range of no-gap glasses at Loom Optical — including selected frames from Spencer Wilson, an Australian-owned, family-run eyewear company we’re proud to support.
These options, paired with single vision lenses, may be fully covered by your health fund if you have available benefits.

If you choose upgrades such as:

• Multifocal lenses

• Prescription sunglasses

• Lens coatings or specialty treatments

we’ll provide a clear known-gap quote before you proceed, so you’ll always know exactly what to expect.
