Minimal Benefits are paid on some hospital services (such as pregnancy and joint replacement).

Minimal benefits

The following services are paid at Minimal benefits on this level of cover. This helps you save because you won’t pay for what you don’t want:

  • Assisted reproductive services (e.g. IVF, GIFT)
  • Total and partial hip and knee joint replacement
  • Cataract and other lens related surgery
  • Dialysis for chronic renal failure
  • Elective cosmetic surgery
  • Surgery by an accredited podiatrist

If you’re sure you won’t need specific services in a private hospital then insurance for these services at a Minimal benefit level can save you money.

Minimal benefits only cover the cost of staying in a public hospital shared room.

In a private hospital, if you need to claim on procedures with Minimal benefits such as pregnancy or dialysis, you may have significant costs such as theatre or labour ward charges to pay.
