Hospital and extras cover are two different parts of health insurance that can work together to look after different needs.
Hospital cover can help pay for treatments or services included in your cover if you’re admitted to hospital as a private patient - things like your doctor’s fees, accommodation, and intensive care.
Extras cover on the other hand, can help with everyday health services that aren’t part of your hospital cover inclusions, and aren’t covered by Medicare - like dental check-ups, physio appointments, optical and more.
Different products include cover for different things, so always make sure you can check out what’s included.
