 Health insurance explained

Also known as ancillary cover or extras cover, extras insurance helps cover some or all of the costs for everyday healthcare services including things like dental check-ups, physio appointments and glasses or contacts. Extras insurance cover can be a good thing to have because Medicare generally doesn't cover extras services, so without extras cover you'd have to cover the full cost of treatment every time you receive a service.

If you wear glasses or contacts, or if you regularly pay for services such as the physio, chiro, dentist, remedial massage or similar, extras cover could help cover your costs.
