Understanding extras cover

Looking after your health is easier when you have extras cover. Here’s how you can get more value from your HCF membership.

Know when your limits reset

Most treatments and services have annual limits – the maximum you can claim – which refresh on 1 January every year. There are a few exceptions which, depending on your cover, may be claimable every 1 to 3 years, like hearing aids, dentures and some artificial appliances. Orthodontics has a life-time limit.

Understand what you're covered for

Make sure you know what treatments and services you’re covered for and how much you can claim. Understanding your cover will help you avoid unexpected costs, keep on top of your health and make sure you’re getting the most value out of your cover.

Be proactive about your health

On certain levels of extras cover, you may be eligible to claim for a range of health and wellbeing programs, under your Health Management benefit. These include weight management, exercise classes and gym memberships, childbirth education and breastfeeding support and more++.
