We pay out on thousands of procedures, too many to mention here. As a member if there is a specific benefit you are looking for, find out the item number from your doctor or specialist and call us and we’ll let you know how much you should get back.
We’ll fully cover the charge for a hospital boarder, to make sure you have the support you need while you are in hospital, this includes meals and accommodation in your room. Some conditions apply.
Take out an excess. Regardless of how many times you may need to stay in hospital, you’ll only pay the excess if you stay in hospital overnight and you’ll only pay it once per adult member, per calendar year, to a maximum of twice per family policy. We won’t charge you an excess for day procedures.

Please note: The excess is payable in addition to any accommodation and theatre co-payments that may apply. You won’t be required to pay an excess for any dependant children on your family policy. Waiting periods also apply when transferring to a product that may have higher benefits, or when moving from a level of cover with an excess to a level of cover without an excess. You don’t need to pay the excess for any day procedures, which are very common which is unlike many other health funds.
