The Private Health Insurance Statement provides details of the cover held by you with Medibank Private for the period from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2002. It displays any amount of the Federal Government 30% Rebate you may have already received and/or any amount you may be eligible to claim as a tax offset on your 2001/2002 tax return.
As it will be automatically issued, you do not need to request this statement.
2. Medicare Levy Surcharge Statement 2002You may also require a Medicare Levy Surcharge statement. If your taxable income (when added to that of your spouse or partner, if you have one) exceeded the threshold shown at Question M2 (Question 25 for retirees) in TaxPack 2002, then the Medicare Levy Surcharge Statement may be used to determine your liability for the Medicare Levy Surcharge.
Please review TaxPack 2002 to verify whether or not you require the Medicare Levy Surcharge Statement as it is issued to members only upon request. It is necessary to request one statement for each member affected.
3.

This statement lists all members within the membership and provides a consolidated record of claims paid during the financial year.
