Hospital and Extras Cover

ACA Health give you the choice of cover you need without the confusion of too many options.

aca-health-products

You can choose from 5 Hospital Covers:

Gold Deluxe Hospital

With no excess, no co-payments, and no exclusions, our Gold Deluxe Hospital gives you the most comprehensive cover available in health insurance at a very competitive price.

Gold Private Hospital

At this level of cover you receive the same level of protection and benefits as Gold Deluxe Hospital cover, however a co-payment of $100 per day applies if you actually go into hospital. It is recommended for those who are prepared to pay some of their accommodation charges and theatre fees in return for a lower contribution rate.​

Silver Plus Hospital cover - when you choose to reduce your cover to save money. With this level of cover there is an excess of either $500 or $750 per person per calendar year which also applies to dependants.

Basic Hospital

At this level of cover you can choose your own doctor and have shared room accommodation in a public hospital. Basic Hospital cover is designed for treatment in a public hospital and therefore is not recommended for treatment in a private hospital but you must be prepared for some significant out-of-pocket expenses.

Bronze Essentials Hospital

With this level of cover there is an excess of either $500 or $750 per adult person per calendar year which does not apply to child dependants. There is no benefit payable for the excluded services – obstetrics, joint replacements and cardiac treatments (Excluded Services). Public Hospital benefits for a shared room only are payable as a private patient in a public hospital only for Psychiatric and rehabilitation services (Restricted Services).

And 2 Extras Covers:

Complete Ancillary

Our Complete Ancillary is an excellent product, often offering higher benefits than comparable products at many other funds. It offers generous benefits on a large number and wide range of services.

Ancillary Lite

For those who are budget conscious, Ancillary lite keeps the range of benefits to the essentials you told us you wanted. It is a great place to start for those younger people looking to join health cover for the first time or for those who don’t need the complete package of health services.

Combine our Products

You can also combine one of our hospital covers with an extras cover or choose any product on its own to suit your life stage health needs.

With our premium Gold Deluxe Hospital and Complete Extras package you receive one of the most comprehensive hospital and extras insurance packages available in the industry.

Please Note:

  • All new and upgraded hospital policies, waiting periods apply.
  • Hospital cover only applies to services received as an in-patient and does not apply to out-patient services (e.g. GP or Specialist consults, MRI’s or Ultrasounds)
  • Hospital cover only applies when a service is recognised by Medicare
  • Out-of-pocket for Medical Specialists and Doctor’s fees can apply to any level of Hospital cover.

Unbeatable Extras & Provider Choice

We provide extras that pay up to twice as much as the big three health funds on things that really matter, like market leading per treatment payouts for optical, dental and orthodontic.

And we won’t dictate to you which health provider you need to see and the type of treatment you receive – it’s all about choices, value for money, service and peace of mind.
