You need to subscribe to receive statements, notifications and payment information through HPOS. To set up your subscriptions and view these types of messages:

  • select Messages from the main menu
  • select Statements and Subscriptions.

There are 2 types of subscriptions in HPOS, standard and automatic. Each type works differently.

For a standard subscription:

  • select Start subscription to receive a statement electronically
  • select End subscription to unsubscribe
  • you can only cancel your subscription 13 weeks from the start date
  • if you make a change to your subscription, it will apply from the next working day.

For an automatic subscription:

  • we may automatically subscribe you to receive some statements depending on your program enrolment and provider type
  • you can view the details of your automatic subscriptions in HPOS Messages
  • you can’t make changes to these subscriptions or unsubscribe.

If your practice is enrolled in PIP and WIP - Practice Stream, you must subscribe to receive statements and updates through PIP or WIP - Practice Stream online applications in HPOS.
