1. Check your practitioners' qualifications
Registered dentists and opticians are automatically accepted. For other treatments, please make sure your chosen practitioner has the necessary accreditations or qualifications accepted by Health Shield before you book.

For every healthcare treatment please make sure you ask for a receipt on headed paper that shows the following information:
- The full name, qualifications, official practice stamp and contact details of the practitioner
- Full name of person who's received treatment
- Confirmation payment has been made in full
- If the receipt is for more than one treatment, then separate dates and amounts for each appointment must be shown
- Type of treatment received
Paper claims:
