MAKING IT EASIER TO COMPARE POLICIES

Australian health funds using the same clinical categories and definitions will make it easier for you to find the right health cover for you.

To help you make sense of the change we’ve created a document that lists some of the categories and a few examples of the tests and treatments they include.

We don’t have space to list them all here, but you can see the full list of clinical categories and definitions.

If you need hospital treatment and want to check if your HCF hospital insurance will cover it, get in touch before you’re treated. Ask your doctor for all the relevant item numbers, then call us on 13 13 34 or visit a branch so we can talk you through it.
