Be rewarded for healthy living

Getting health insurance could mean hospital cover, extras cover or a combination of the two. By joining an eligible cover, you can earn points for looking after your health and redeem them for rewards with Medibank Live Better.¹

Live Better rewards

With Live Better rewards, you can earn points by tracking healthy actions. And if you're an eligible Medibank member with hospital or extras, these points can go towards rewards from select partners such as adidas as well as select Apple products, extras limit increases or a $200 premium payment.¹

Get more from your Extras cover

With Extras cover, you receive a range of benefits that 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.

Plus, when you visit our Members' Choice Advantage providers you can get rewarded for your dental check-ups (up to 2 per year), prescription optical purchases as well as your first podiatry, physio, remedial massage, chiro, or acupuncture consultation each year.²

100% back on dental check-ups twice a year on eligible extras3

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.³

You can earn 1,000 Live Better rewards points for each dental check-up included in your cover.2


 

100% back on optical on eligible extras4

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.⁴

Earn 5 Live Better rewards points for every dollar you spend on prescription items from our Members’ Choice Advantage optical provider Specsavers.²

 

One of Australia's largest provider networks

With over 3700 provider locations, our Members’ Choice network generally offer capped fees or discounts to help reduce out-of-pocket expenses across dental, optical, physiotherapy and more.⁵

Earn 500 Live Better points for your first annual consultation at one of our podiatry, chiropractic, acupuncture, physiotherapy or remedial massage Members' Choice Advantage providers when you hold eligible extras cover.²
