Change your cover or compareMake better choices for your health and budget
Your healthcare decisions have the potential to impact your physical, mental and financial wellbeing; today, tomorrow and for many years to come. So, it helps to know your options.
Understanding your cover can help you figure out:
- What healthcare options can you access via private health cover
- What you could ask doctors, hospitals and providers that may help you save on costs
- What affordable treatment offers are available for Teachers Health members.
We’ve got the answers to these and more right here!
Hospital treatment
Even simple procedures can make for complex patient billing situations. Here we outline some of the ins and outs when it comes to doctor’s and hospital fees. Knowing a bit more about how billing works could help you make better decisions for your health (and your budget).
Specialist doctors and hospitals generally bill separately, which is why we’ve split them up below.
Doctors
What to ask and when:
- Specialist doctors’ costs – how the bills work
- Access Gap Cover – no-gap vs known-gap
- How to find a doctor – using the search tool
Hospitals
Because location matters:
- Hospital costs – covered vs restricted services
- Public vs private – how the costs break down
- Agreement hospitals – search by name or location
No-gap programs
Your health cover gives you access to programs that can save you out-of-pocket costs.
These packages are available to eligible members looking for an accessible treatment so you can focus on your health and wellbeing – and not the bill.
