Some high-cost medications
Services not covered by Medicare
Prostheses in excess of approved benefits in the Government’s Prostheses List

Extras costs explained

Extras cover gives you money back for non-hospital services such as dental, physio, optical and more.

The amount of money you can claim back depends on the level of cover you have. Generally speaking, the higher the level of cover, the higher your annual limit and higher the percentage you can claim back. Which means more money back in your pocket.

Benefits of Medibank Extras

Using a non-Members' Choice provider?

If your extras provider isn't part of our Members' Choice network don't worry. As long as they're a Medibank recognised provider, we'll still pay a fixed amount for each service or item, up to your annual limits.
