HBF Preferred Dentists in Midland & the City of Swan 2026

HBF is Western Australia’s largest and most trusted private health insurer, covering more than one million WA members. In the City of Swan and Midland area, HBF’s preferred provider network — branded HBF Members Plus — gives fund members access to dentists who have agreed to charge HBF’s scheduled fees, reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket costs on covered general dental items.

For residents of Midland, Ellenbrook, Ballajura, Beechboro, Aveley, and surrounding City of Swan suburbs, choosing an HBF Members Plus dentist is the most straightforward way to maximise the value of HBF extras cover. This guide explains how the preferred provider scheme works, what to expect in out-of-pocket costs, and how to find a preferred dentist in the north-east Perth area.

How HBF Members Plus Works

HBF Members Plus is HBF’s preferred provider programme for ancillary (extras) services including dental. Key points:

• Scheduled fees: Members Plus dentists agree to charge HBF’s set fee schedule for covered items. HBF then pays its standard benefit, leaving little or no gap.
• HICAPS claiming: Most Midland-area HBF preferred providers use HICAPS terminals, so your benefit is deducted at the time of payment — no need to claim separately.
• Annual limits still apply: Even at a preferred provider, your HBF extras policy has an annual dental limit. Once that limit is exhausted, you pay the full scheduled fee out of pocket.
• Major dental is different: Items like implants, crowns, and dentures fall under major dental cover, which has separate limits and waiting periods. Preferred provider status reduces the gap on major items where HBF pays, but cannot eliminate out-of-pocket cost on expensive procedures.
• Waiting periods: If you are a new HBF member, general dental waiting periods are typically 2 months and major dental 12 months. Pre-existing members transferring from another fund may have waiting periods waived on a like-for-like basis.
