How should I compare health insurance deals?

There are plenty of factors you should consider when comparing the best available health cover deals on the market. Here’s what you should be looking out for:

  • Analyse the conditions on free cover incentives: deals like these could save you hundreds of dollars in your first year or two of coverage. However, you won’t usually receive it straight away. Make sure you check how long it takes for the premium waiver to kick in.
  • Look out for waiting period waivers: another sign-up offer you might see is the removal of certain waiting periods on extras treatments. These can be restricted to two-month wait periods or can reach up to six. If you need extras treatments in the near future, this could help you out.
  • Weigh up the overall cost: crunch the numbers before you buy your plan. Those six weeks of free cover might sound nice, but make sure you aren’t paying more overall with higher premiums.
  • Make sure you don’t reset waiting periods: there may be situations where switching cover or provider resets your waiting periods on certain treatments. Double-check that it won’t happen but if it does and you still want to go ahead, make sure the saving is worth it.
  • Consider whether added bonuses are worth it: things like free ambulance cover, additional health support and rewards programs can all be great additions and add value. Before you sign up, though, think about how much value they really bring and if they’re worth it.

Common questions about health insurance deals

Do not-for-profit health insurance funds offer the best deals?

There’s no simple answer to this question. It depends on the type of health insurance you’re after and your family structure. For this reason, it’s important to compare like-for-like policies to make sure you’re getting the best deal that’s right for your individual needs.

Can I get a better deal by paying for my insurance by direct debit?

Some health funds do offer discounts for customers who pay their premiums by direct debit. These discounts may range from a 2.00% to 4.00% reduction simply by using this payment method.

Are health insurance deals available for foreign students and overseas visitors?

The two types of health insurance policies designed for foreign students and visitors are Overseas Visitors Health Cover (OVHC) and Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC). Sign-up deals aren’t common for these insurance products, but it’s still important to compare your options before you apply.

What are the Medicare levy and Medicare levy surcharge?

The Medicare levy is a tax charged to all working Australians. Everyone is required to pay 2% of their salary to help fund Medicare and it’s unavoidable unless you qualify for a reduction or exemption.

The Medicare levy surcharge is another tax that’s only charged to Australians earning above a certain threshold who don’t have an eligible hospital cover policy. This can add up to between 1% and 1.5% of your salary. It serves as a disincentive for people to not have private hospital cover.

Are there any deals available for young people under 30?

All the deals discussed above apply to those under 30 as well. However, it’s worth noting that under-30s can qualify for discounts on their private health insurance premiums. For every year you hold private health insurance under the age of 30, you’ll qualify for a 2% discount (capped at 10%). This will remain in place until you turn 41, at which point it’ll be gradually phased out.
