Why Medibank Extras?

With Extras cover, you receive a range of benefits that reduce your out of pocket expenses when you claim on non-hospital services that aren’t normally covered by Medicare – like dental, optical, physio and so much more. The types of services you will receive benefits on will depend on the extras cover you select, the waiting periods and your annual or lifetime limits.

100% back on dental check-ups twice a year on eligible extras¹

Here’s something to smile about – Medibank members with eligible extras cover for two months or more get 100% back on up to two dental check-ups every year, including x-rays, at any Members’ Choice Advantage dentist.¹
