Answers to commonly asked questions to help you make the right choice.

Consider the cover that best suits your health and budget needs. Some people choose hospital cover to avoid long public hospital waitlists, which can be up to 12 months, and to be covered for the costs of an ambulance in an emergency (depending on your state or territory), or to save at tax time with a private health insurance rebate and avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge if your income is above a certain threshold. Whereas others might choose to get extras only cover for access to services generally not covered by Medicare, like dental check-ups, prescription glasses, physio, chiro and remedial massage appointments and more. 

That’s why we offer great value hospital and extras cover options at HCF so you can get the protection you need and access to the healthcare services that are most important to you.

Find hospital and extras cover today

When deciding on the right hospital and extras cover for you, consider the healthcare services that matter most to you. This includes having access to any everyday health services like dental, physio, optical, chiro, remedial massage and more, while also considering any potential out-of-pocket costs as different levels of cover might have varying costs, coverage, and waiting periods. Also, check if you’re able to choose your own excess to meet your needs and budget, the extent of the hospital and provider networks available, and the impact of excess on premiums.

At HCF, we make it easier for you to compare hospital and extras cover options to make sure you get the right level cover for your needs and budget.

Hospital and extras cover comparison 

A waiting period is the time you must wait before you can claim benefits on a new or upgraded level of health cover and applies to all health funds. It can range from 2 months, for services like general dental, or up to 12 months for some hospital treatments.

If you're switching from another health fund to HCF, you won’t need to re-serve waiting periods for services if:

  • you switch to HCF on the same or a lower level of benefits for those services

  • you switch within 30 days of leaving your previous fund.

However, if you move to a higher level of benefits or to a cover with new services, waiting periods of up to 12 months may apply for those services.

Generally, no. Medicare doesn’t cover:

  • ambulance services

  • most dental services

  • glasses, contact lenses and hearing aids.

Hospital and extras cover can help fill these gaps and lower your out-of-pocket costs, while reducing waiting times for surgeries, allowing you to choose your own doctor and hospital for treatment, and more.

The level of coverage depends on the hospital and extras policy you choose though. For example, if you choose a basic level of hospital and extras cover, you won’t be covered for pregnancy and birth unless you upgrade to a higher level of cover.

Yes, you can have hospital and extras cover with 2 different providers. However, it can be easier to manage with a combined hospital and extras policy.

For example, Gold Hospital cover for singles or couples and Mid Extras cover. This way, you get the peace of mind you’re looking for in a combined policy that works for you.
