Hospital Only Cover:
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.
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 child dependants.
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.
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).
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.
