What are the benefits of extras cover?

Health insurance explainedAlso 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.
