What is private health insurance? Health insurance helps pay for the cost of your treatment as either a private patient in a public or private hospital, or for out-of-hospital services (e.g. dentists). With it, you could avoid public waiting lists for important medical procedures, get subsidised physio sessions, eliminate ambulance costs and much more. You can purchase health insurance in a few different forms. Private hospital cover helps pay for your treatment as an in-patient, while extras cover helps pay for services outside the hospital. Or, you can combine the two into one product and enjoy cover in more circumstances! Compare health insurance Why compare health insurance with us?

Learn about health insurance and its benefits Private hospital cover Private hospital cover helps you pay the cost of in-hospital treatment. It can cover anything from surgical procedures to childbirth. Health insurance extras Extras cover helps pay for out-of-hospital medical care. For example, it may pay for a new pair of glasses or a physiotherapist appointment. Hospital and extras combined A combined health insurance policy includes hospital and extras cover. It can subsidise a wide range of your expenses both in and out of the hospital. Dental insurance Getting covered for dental treatment is crucial for many Australians, as the expense can quickly grow if you require major orthodontic work. Luckily, many health insurance policies cover the cost of major and minor dental work. Physiotherapy cover Physiotherapy consultations and treatment plans can assist with recovery from an injury. When you need this kind of support, health insurance can help subsidise these costs. Lifestyle program benefits An extras policy may help pay towards the cost of important health services that many of us rely on daily, such as nutritionist consultations, skin cancer screenings and even gym memberships.
