Hospital costs explained

Hospital cover helps with the cost of treatments you receive in hospital as a private patient. Of course, everyone is different, and so our Hospital covers come in all shapes and sizes to suit different priorities and stages in life.

What we'll pay towards

For services included under each of our Hospital covers, we’ll pay benefits towards:

Eligible ambulance services
In-hospital medical services
Overnight accommodation in a private hospital, or a shared room in a public hospital as a private patient
Same-day admission
Intensive care
Theatre fees
The minimum benefit for medical devices and human tissue products as set out in the government's Prescribed List of Medical Devices and Human Tissue Products

Depending on your cover you may need to pay an excess or co-payment before we will pay any benefits towards your hospital admission. Other out-of-pocket expenses may apply.

What we won't pay towards

Services not included in your cover or for which you are serving waiting periods
Some high-cost medications
Services not covered by Medicare
Medical devices and human tissue products in excess of approved benefits in the Government’s Prescribed List
Cosmetic treatments
Certain other items (e.g. streaming services and parking), depending on the hospital you're admitted to. The hospital should discuss any charges with you.

Before your hospital admission

It's a good idea to call us on 132 331 so we can take you through what we will pay benefits for, and let you know of any potential out-of-pockets you might expect for your procedure.

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.
