PARTNERING TO PROVIDE UNCOMMON CARe

SHARED VALUE FOR MEMBERS

Our commitment to protect Australians’ health is at the heart of everything we do. As a not-for-profit health fund, we’re not like the others, we put our members and their care before anything else. We’re focussed on delivering meaningful benefits for our members, to help keep the cost of health services and premiums affordable and provide greater access to care and treatment options.

As part of this commitment, we’re building long-term partnerships with hospital operators that share our vision to deliver innovative, effective healthcare that puts the patient first. Our landmark 5-year strategic collaboration with Ramsay Health Care (Ramsay) is the first of its kind in the Australian private health sector.

Because there’s care, and there’s Uncommon Care.

JOINT MEMBER HEALTH PROGRAMS

In August 2022 HCF and Ramsay announced a 5-year strategic collaboration. Together, we’re dedicated to providing members with even greater access to affordable, coordinated care through a wide range of flexible treatment options.

At the heart of our collaboration is a commitment to provide great value cover, access and choice for our members. This includes:

  • 5% off selected purchases* and other benefits at Ramsay Pharmacy
  • home-based or remote rehabilitation support for eligible members^ with the Ramsay Connect program
  • an extensive group of hospitals in HCF's network, helping our members limit their out of pocket costs.

We’ll continue to work together to develop programs and new models of care for the benefit of our members.

STAY HEALTHY DURING COLD AND FLU SEASON

HCF members+ admitted to a participating Ramsay Hospital in NSW and Vic can request a free flu vaccination until 30 September 2024. Speak to your treating doctor or ward nurse while you're in hospital to assess your suitability to receive the flu vaccine.

We're helping members to be in control of their health and wellbeing. That's Uncommon Care.

RECOVER AT HOME WITH RAMSAY CONNECT

We want to give our members the choice of how and where they’re treated.

Ramsay Connect provides home-based or remote rehabilitation and reconditioning support to eligible members^ when they transition home after a hospital stay, or if they require additional support after treatment.
