Extras Insurance FAQs

What is extras insurance?

Extras insurance, also known as general treatment cover or ancillary cover, helps cover the cost of everyday healthcare services.

These can be minor services like dental check-ups, new glasses, and physio appointments, to more major services like wisdom teeth removal and dental implants.

Medicare generally doesn’t cover extras services, so extras insurance can be a way to help cover those costs.

What does extras insurance cover?

The specific extras services you’re covered for depends on your health fund, level of cover and the specific policy you choose. Here are some examples of common services extras insurance can cover:

  • Dental treatment
  • Physiotherapy
  • Optical - Glasses and contact lenses
  • Chiropractic treatment
  • Podiatry

What does extras insurance not cover?

There are some situations where your health fund cannot pay a benefit (because they legally can’t), but Medicare will.

For example, a visit to a doctor outside of hospital, like a General Practitioner (GP), will never be covered by health insurance, no matter what fund you’re with – that’s covered by Medicare.

Consultation fees for a doctor or a specialist appointment outside of hospital, tests and examinations like x-rays or blood tests and eye tests by an optometrist are common situations where your health fund won't pay a benefit but Medicare will.

What is a benefit?

A benefit is the amount you can claim back for a service/the amount HBF will pay towards a service.

What is a lifetime limit?

A lifetime limit is the total amount you can claim for a service over the course of your lifetime. That means, once you’ve claimed up to your lifetime limit, either at HBF or through claims at another health insurer, you won’t be able to claim again. Each person on your policy has their own lifetime limits. A lifetime limit applies to orthodontics on some HBF Extras covers.

What is an annual limit?

An annual limit is the maximum amount of money you can claim for a service within a calendar year. Each person on your policy has their own annual limits.

How much will I get back?

The amount you can claim back on extras services depends on your benefits (the amount you get back when you claim) and your annual limits (the maximum amount you can claim in a year).

Nearly all extras insurance policies only cover services to a limited extent, which means you’ll usually pay for some of the service out of your own pocket.

But extras insurance is still worth it because Medicare generally doesn’t cover extras services, so without it you’d have to cover the full cost of treatment.

When can I start using my extras insurance?

When you buy extras insurance for the first time, if you haven’t had continuous cover, or if you’ve just upgraded to a higher level of cover, there will generally be a waiting period you need to serve before you can claim.

Waiting periods for extras vary between health funds, but with HBF most services have a 2-month waiting period, while more high-cost services (like Major Dental) have a waiting period of 12 months or more.
