What is health insurance?

Private health insurance has two parts – Hospital and Extras cover. They can help you avoid lengthy wait times for public hospitals, help offset the costs of health care services not covered by Medicare, and allow you to choose your doctor.

What is Hospital cover?

Hospital cover helps pay the often high costs of in-hospital services such as surgery, anaesthesia, private rooms and theatre fees, and will vary according to the level of cover you choose, your service provider, and the procedure involved.

What is Extras cover?

Extras cover helps pay for things that are ‘extra’ to in-hospital services – and not covered by Medicare. Purchased separately or together with Hospital cover, an Extras policy covers health care services like dental, physio and optical.

Helping you understand health insurance...

  • All Australian residents pay a contribution towards the cost of running Medicare, our national health care system. It’s called the Medicare Levy and is paid in addition to the base tax you pay on your taxable income.

    The Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) is a tax paid in addition to the Medicare Levy if you don’t have private hospital cover and your income is above a certain threshold. Its aim is to encourage individuals to take out private hospital cover to reduce demand on the public system.

    You won’t pay the MLS if…

    • You have an appropriate amount of Hospital cover (defined as Hospital cover with an excess of $750 or less for singles, or $1,500 or less for couples and families).

    • If your annual taxable income is less than $97,000, or $194,000 for a couple.

    If you don’t have private hospital cover, you may need to pay the MLS if your income is above the following thresholds:
