Have you heard the news? HBF has announced that HBF Gap Saver will officially end on 13th December 2025. After this date, HBF members will no longer be able to use Gap Saver benefits to reduce or cover out-of-pocket dental costs.
This change is important for patients who rely on Gap Saver to make dental care more affordable. If you are an HBF member with dental extras cover, now is the time to schedule your appointment and ensure you don’t miss out on using your accrued benefits.
What this means for HBF patients
If you have been delaying your dental check-up, hygiene clean, or necessary treatment, we strongly encourage you to book before 13 December. Once HBF Gap Saver ends, any remaining balance cannot be used for appointments or treatments after that date.
By booking now, you can:
- ✅ Use your HBF Gap Saver before it expires
- ✅ Prevent your accrued benefits from going to waste
- ✅ Secure an appointment ahead of the busy December period
