The benefits paid for hospital treatment will depend on the type of cover you purchase and whether your fund has an agreement in place with the hospital in which you are treated. See ‘Agreement Hospitals’ on privatehealth.gov.au for which hospitals have arrangements with your insurer – https://privatehealth.gov.au/dynamic/agreementhospitals.

Under this policy, you may have to pay out-of-pocket costs above what you get from Medicare or your private health insurer. Before you go to hospital, you should ask your doctors, hospital and health insurer about any out-of-pocket costs that may apply to you.

The following payments may also apply for hospital admissions

Excess: You will have to pay an excess on admission. This is limited to a maximum of $300 per person per year.

Excess payments do not apply to hospital admissions for dependants.

Co-payments: No co-payments

The following waiting periods for hospital admissions apply to new or upgrading members

Waiting periods:

  • 2 months for palliative care, rehabilitation and hospital psychiatric treatments, even if pre-existing
  • 12 months for other pre-existing conditions
  • 9 months for pregnancy and birth (obstetrics)
  • 2 months for all other treatments

Gap Cover

This provider offers 'known gap' or 'no gap' cover for medical bills for this product. The Medical Costs Finder (https://www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-and-tools/medical-costs-finder) lets you find out more about the cost of specialist medical services.

Other features of this hospital cover

Top hospital cover when you need it. Excellent range of value-added services: hospital substitute treatment, hospital substitute programs, chronic disease management programs and care coordination (conditions apply). An excess is applied once per adult per calendar year. The hospital excess is waived for dependants. Reducing your excess is considered to be upgrading your membership. We will charge your previous excess within the first two months of the upgrade, including for adults who are upgrading their level of cover by joining/re-joining as a dependant on a family membership.

For further information about this policy see: https://tuh.com.au/package/gold-easy-choice
