Our customers say
Get more benefits with Extras Cover
With Extras cover, you receive a range of benefits that help to reduce your out of pocket expenses when you claim on non-hospital services that aren’t normally covered by Medicare – like dental optical, physio and so much more. The types of services you will receive benefits on will depend on the extras cover you select, the waiting periods and your annual or lifetime limits.
Here's how Medibank's current range of extras covers could benefit you:
100% back on dental check-ups twice a year on eligible extras
Here’s something to smile about – Medibank members with eligible extras cover for two months or more get 100% back on up to two dental check-ups every year, including x-rays, at any Members’ Choice Advantage dentist.=
100% back on optical on eligible extras
At Medibank we think you deserve to see the world clearly. That’s why when you join eligible Medibank extras you get 100% back on optical items at all recognised providers up to annual limits.±
One of Australia's largest provider networks
Our Members’ Choice network generally offer capped fees or discounts to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses across dental, optical, physiotherapy and more.1 With over 3700 provider locations, our Members' Choice extras network is one of the largest in Australia.
