If you’re planning on starting or extending your family, it’s important to know there is a 12-month waiting period for Pregnancy and Birth services on hospital cover. This means you’ll need to have had Pregnancy and Birth services included on your hopsital cover for at least 12 months before we’ll pay towards any hospital admissions related to your pregnancy and birth. Remember babies can come early, so take this into account when you start planning your family.
If you’re joining Medibank from another Australian health fund, you may not need to re-serve waiting periods for services you’ve already served.3
