More Services Covered
13 July 2011
Until now, to have your medical treatments covered by your private health insurance, you had to be admitted to hospital. Even though there might be other ways you could be treated just as effectively.
Now your health fund can extend your hospital cover to include medical treatments that are done without you having to go into hospital. For example, dialysis or chemotherapy undertaken in your own home, and programs to manage heart disease and diabetes.
As these insurance policies are introduced, you and your doctor will have much more flexibility to choose how you want to be treated. Just speak to your health fund to find out what new options they may be covering.
