Your health needs aren’t static so your cover shouldn’t be either.
Spring is the perfect time to shake off the winter blues, get active and refocus on your wellbeing by making sure your policy still aligns with your current needs and goals.
Why It Matters
You might start a new fitness routine and want more physio.
Your child might be ready for regular dental check-ups.
You may no longer need certain extras you’re paying for.
You might be planning a new addition to the family or simply want to access new benefits or rewards.
Reviewing your policy helps ensure you’re not underinsured or overpaying for services you no longer use.
Step 1: Log in to the Member Portal
Your spring clean starts here. The member portal is your go-to place for managing your health cover. It’s quick, secure and available 24/7.
Once logged in, you can:
View your current hospital and extras cover
Check your claims history
Update your contact details (especially your email!)
Complete your Health-e-Profile to claim your Active Health Bonus
Step 2: Review Your Hospital Cover
Hospital cover protects you from the potentially high costs of private hospital treatment. It’s essential to make sure your policy includes the services you’re most likely to need.
Ask yourself:
Am I covered for pregnancy or birth-related services?
Do I need cover for joint replacements, heart procedures or inpatient support?
Do I have pre-existing conditions that require specific cover?
Am I planning elective surgery or in hospital specialist treatment?
If you’re unsure what’s included, the member portal provides a clear breakdown of your hospital cover. You can also explore other options if you’re thinking about upgrading or adjusting your policy.
Note: New services may have waiting periods, so plan ahead if you’re considering changes.
Step 3: Review Your Extras Cover
Extras cover helps with everyday health services like dental, optical, physio and more. This is where many members find opportunities to tailor their policy and get better value.
Check Your Usage
Start by looking at what you’ve claimed over the past year. Are you regularly using dental check-ups, glasses or physio? Or are there extras you haven’t touched?
Match Extras to Your Lifestyle and think about your current health goals:
Active lifestyle? You might benefit from more physio, remedial massage or podiatry.
Family with kids? Dental, speech therapy and optical might be more important.
Working on wellness? Consider psychology, dietetics or acupuncture.
Switching Extras Is Simple!
If your current extras don’t match your needs, you can switch to a different package that does. Our friendly membership team will help you compare options and make changes.
Important: Changing your extras may affect your eligibility for certain benefits, including the Active Health Bonus, so review the details before making a switch.
Step 4: Update Your Contact Details
It sounds simple, but keeping your contact details current, especially your email address is essential. It ensures you receive important updates, benefit reminders and member offers/rewards.
Step 5: Unlock Your Active Health Bonus
The Active Health Bonus is one of the most valuable rewards available to TUH members. It’s designed to help cover out-of-pocket costs for extras treatments, making it easier to stay on top of your health without worrying about the bill.
What Is It?
A reward available to members on combined hospital and extras products (excluding Basic Extras).
Can be used to pay for out-of-pocket extras costs, up to the annual limit.
Must be claimed per policy, per calendar year.
To unlock your bonus, simply complete the Health-e-Profile—an online health assessment available in the member portal. It only takes a few minutes and must be completed every 12 months.
Eligibility
A six-month waiting period applies from your join date.
If you reduce or change your level of cover, your bonus may be reduced or removed.
The bonus is limited per policy, not per person.
