Where an Extras cover is taken with Hospital cover, benefits are payable under the Hospital cover only.

Extras cover can help you get money back on common health treatments that aren’t generally covered by Medicare. You’ll get either a percentage of the cost back, or a set dollar amount, on included Extras every time you claim, until you reach your yearly limit. Therefore, you only pay the difference between what you get back from Australian Unity and the cost set by your provider.

Please call us or refer to your Member Guide and Terms & Conditions for further information on how this cover works. If you want more specific information about what you can expect your out-of-pocket costs to be, we recommend you obtain a quote from your provider before undergoing treatment, along with a list of item numbers. You can then contact us or log in to Online Member Services for details of benefits before proceeding with your treatment.

We only pay benefits when you see a recognised provider in a private practice. Please contact us to check if your provider is recognised by us. Providers recognition conditions apply.
