Who is covered on my family health cover policy?

On family cover, you, your partner and your kids (no matter how many you have!) are covered. Just remember to add your kids to your policy.

How long can my kids stay on my family health insurance policy?

We will cover your kids on your policy until they turn 25, provided they're not married or in a de-facto relationship. If they're 21 years of age and over, they must either be studying full time or earning less than $24,500 per year.

Is there a health insurance policy with no waiting periods for pregnancy and birth?

No. Most health funds, including HBF, have a 12-month waiting period for pregnancy and birth cover. This helps stop people from signing up for health cover, claiming and leaving, which drives up premiums for the health fund’s other members.

Can you add or remove someone from a family health insurance policy?

Life is rarely linear and sometimes we need to add, or remove members from our policy. If you need to make a change to your policy by adding or removing a dependant or a partner, give us a call on 133 423.
