Extras cover FAQs

How does Extras cover work?

Extras cover can help with the cost of out-of-hospital health services that Medicare normally doesn’t cover, like dental, physiotherapy, optical, and more. Depending on your level of cover and the provider you visit, you can claim a percentage of the cost or a set amount for each service, up to your annual limit.

When paired with Hospital cover, Hospital & Extras combined cover can provide a more comprehensive solution. Hospital cover can help with the cost of in-hospital treatments, like surgeries, while Extras cover takes care of everyday health services.
