Cover inclusions
We've got you covered.
Everyone’s health care needs are different. But whether you’re always on the go or prefer to take it easy, we recommend you review your cover over time to make sure it includes what matters to you.
Take a look at what’s on offer for people just like you. It may already be included in your cover – or if not – get in touch to find out more. We’re happy to help!
We haven't called out all the elements and inclusion in hospital cover. Why? Because it’s a personal choice, shaped by your needs-based cover levels: basic, bronze, silver, gold.
Some people want basic cover to avoid paying the Medicare Levy Surcharge or Lifetime Health Cover loading that kicks in at age 30. To look after a particular health condition like diabetes requiring an insulin pump or an extreme back condition, you will likely need to dial it up to a silver or gold cover.
Good to know
All our hospital covers include:
Treatment as an inpatient in a private hospital for medically necessary treatment.
- Accommodation, theatre fees, intensive care, cardiac care, government approved prostheses and hospital medication for all services included in your cover.
Savings tips
If you have a hospital visit coming up, ask your doctor for an estimate of possible costs (called informed financial consent) and ask if they’ll charge you under our access gap scheme which will help save on out-of-pocket costs.
And the younger you’re when you join, you might be eligible an age-based discount on selected covers – wow!
