Frequently Asked Questions
What is health insurance?
Private health insurance helps cover the cost of medical treatments. It can help you avoid
wait times for public hospitals, offset the costs of health services not covered by
Medicare, and allow you the flexibility to choose your doctor.
Read moreWhat is Hospital cover?
Hospital cover helps pay for in-hospital costs such as surgery, anesthesia, private rooms,
and theatre fees for services included in your Hospital cover. Your out-of-pocket costs
will vary according to the Hospital cover you select, the Hospital excess you choose, your
health fund, the medical professionals required, and the procedure involved.
Read moreWhat is Extras cover?
Extras cover helps pay for things that are 'extra' to in-hospital services – and often not
covered by Medicare. Purchased separately or together with Hospital cover, an Extras
policy covers health care services like dental, physiotherapy and optical.
