Nookal integrates with HICAPS Digital Claims to assist with the automation of claiming third-party payments.
What is the HICAPS Digital Claims platform?
The HICAPS Digital Claims platform (formerly known as LanternPay) delivers access to easy, instant claiming and payment for Government Schemes such as:
- The Transport Accident Commission of Victoria (TAC)
- WorkSafe Victoria
- WorkCover Queensland
- National Disability Insurance Scheme
- ICWA (coming soon to Nookal)
- Private health insurers (coming soon to Nookal)
All of these transactions can be processed without the use of a terminal.
