= Eligible members on Medibank extras (excluding Healthy Living Extras and Gold Ultra Health) can claim a maximum of two 100% back dental check-ups per member, per year at a Members’ Choice Advantage provider (including bitewing x-rays where clinically required). For members on eligible extras, the first two check-ups do not count towards your annual limit. Members with Healthy Living Extras can get 100% back on one dental check-up each year at a Members’ Choice Advantage provider (including up to two bitewing x-rays, where clinically required) or at a Members’ Choice provider (excluding x-rays). Members with Gold Ultra Health can get 100% back on up to three dental check-ups at a Members’ Choice or Members’ Choice Advantage provider. Members’ Choice and Members’ Choice Advantage providers are not available in all areas. Two month waiting period applies. Some products may have other dental benefits, check your cover summary for details.
+ Covers with Restricted or Excluded services will be treated as Included services where treatment is required for injuries sustained in an Accident that occurs after joining this cover. Treatment must be sought within 7 days of the Accident. Excludes claims covered by third parties such as Workcover and our Private Room Promise. Out of pockets may apply. Refer to your Cover Summary. For Gold hospital covers, Accidental Injury Benefit is not required because all clinical categories are Included, regardless of whether or not the treatment is required as a result of an Accident.
# Medibank has Members' Choice providers for these services only. By choosing a Members' Choice provider you are guaranteed to receive the percentage back shown on the cover.
~ Some items and services may require a Referral Letter and may have a benefit replacement period. Please see the Cover Summary or Member Guide for more information.
> Two month waiting period applies. We'll pay a benefit up to an annual limit per membership towards any admission fee ("facility fee") charged by the Private Hospital for patients attending a Private Accident and Emergency Department. The fee amount varies by Private Hospital and does not include medical and other charges (such as charges for diagnostic imaging or pathology), so out of pocket expenses may still apply. Only available at Private Hospitals with an Accident and Emergency Department. Members will need to submit a claim to receive the benefit and may have to pay upfront.
! - A Limited Service is a service where we pay the minimum benefit set by the government towards hospital accommodation. If you're treated in a private hospital for a Limited Service, you are likely to incur substantial out-of-pocket expenses because this minimum benefit will not be enough to cover all hospital costs. For Limited services as a private patient in a public hospital we will pay minimum shared room benefits.
^^ Two month waiting period and $40 annual limit apply. Benefits are payable towards the influenza vaccine only and not payable towards any other fees, including administrative fees or GP consultations. Some individuals may be eligible for free influenza vaccines under a Commonwealth or State scheme, such as the National Immunisation Program, or similar schemes. Benefits are not payable where influenza vaccines are administered under such a scheme.
