You probably know Extras cover can help with the cost of everyday healthcare. Things that Medicare generally doesn’t pay for, like dental checks, glasses or chiro. It can also support you in ways you may not have thought of.

Prevention

Dental care is about more than your smile – poor oral health has been linked to heart and lung diseases and can affect your wellbeing, impair your speech and impact your self-esteem.

Alongside Hospital cover

Extras can also work in tandem with Hospital cover like seeing a dietitian during cancer treatment. Or during recovery, like speech therapy after a stroke.

Consider which services you’re likely to need, now and in the near future, and how often you might need them.

*What does Basic Plus mean?

‘Basic’ tells you which hospital insurance tier the cover sits in. The tiers were introduced by the government to make it easier to compare cover. If we’ve added a ‘Plus’, the cover includes more than the minimum services that have to be in that tier.
