How could health insurance be better?

We’ve been asking Australians how can health insurance be better? And over the past couple of years, we’ve made a whole range of improvements and changes. That’s better, and there’s more to come.

You spoke, we listened

When you said you wanted better value, personalised support and more choice, we listened. We've been working with doctors, experts in medical technology and our members to make health insurance better. Discover the recent changes we've made below, inspired by you.

Icon Dental

100% back on two dental check-ups

We know our members want greater everyday value when it comes to extras. That’s why you can now get 100% back on up to two dental check-ups every year, for everyone on your cover, at any Members’ Choice Advantage dentist.* 

Icon Hospital

Hospital Assist

Beyond just helping to pay towards hospital bills, we’re looking at ways to make going to hospital easier. The Hospital Assist program includes a Health Concierge phone service, a Digital Concierge for online assistance, a 24/7 Advice Line and Patient Reported Experience surveys (PREMS). 

Icon Pre Existing

Medibank at Home

We know that treatments like chemotherapy and dialysis are tough. That’s why we developed Medibank at Home, so our members can access healthcare on their terms.  The trial program — which we’re hoping to roll out nationally — allows eligible members to receive treatment for chemo and dialysis from the comfort of their own home.

Accident cover boost

We know that accidents happen. And when they do, recovery should be top priority. That's why if you have an Accident, you’ll get the benefits of our top level hospital cover, no matter what level of hospital cover you have.~

Hospital Experience Scores

To improve our members stays in hospital, we introduced the Patient Reported Experience Measures Survey (PREMS). The survey asked people to rate their hospital experience — from staff interaction to cleanliness. The feedback helped us build a tool, so that you can search for hospitals across Australia and discover how they were rated.

My Medibank app

We made it simple for our members to stay on top of their cover with the MyMedibank App. Easily check your limits, make a claim and find a Members’ Choice provider anywhere, anytime. And now, you can estimate your benefits and any gap for your extras claims, so you’ll know how much you could get back before leaving the house.

24/7 Medibank Nurse

We know that it’s important to access healthcare anywhere, anytime. That’s why our members with hospital cover can always speak with a Medibank nurse, 24/7. Whether it’s a question about how to manage your symptoms or when you should see a doctor, day or night, our nurses are available on 1800 644 325 for round-the-clock health advice.#

Changes to private health insurance

From 1 April 2019, the federal government introduced a range of health insurance reforms, to make it easier for all Australians to better understand health insurance. And we’ve welcomed these changes by getting on the front foot. Depending on your level of cover, you may have been affected by some of these changes. But don’t worry, we’re here to help make the transition as smooth as possible. Find out more.
