What is a Pre-Existing Medical Condition?
Pre-existing Medical Condition - Is any health sign, symptom or condition occurring or existing before the policy commencement date, or in relation to any policy upgrade after the policy commencement date, before the date of upgrading, or in relation to any spouse or child/ren member added to the policy after the policy commencement date, before the spouse or child/ren member was added to the policy. This includes any condition that occurs or exists at any time and relates to a sign, symptom or circumstance of which the member was aware, or ought reasonably to have been aware, at the policy commencement date or at the date of the upgrading, or at the date the member was added to the Policy.
Excess Option
We offer a reduced premium for selecting a voluntary excess. This excess applies to all surgical procedures, not including Surgery with a GP, Private Medical Hospital Admission, and the Public Hospital Cash Benefit.
Changing your Police Health Plan cover
You can amend your cover (e.g. change plans or your excess) and add a partner, and/or child or grandchildren to your existing cover.
Changing your excess
The excess applies from the date you pay the new premium.
If you choose to switch to a lower or no-excess option, a 90-day stand-down period will apply before the lower or no-excess option commences and all conditions that were existing under the previous higher voluntary excess, will still incur the higher excess, regardless of when any procedure on this condition is carried out.
The Benefit Year
The benefit year is from 1 July to 30 June. There are annual maximums you can claim up to. All claims are debited against the benefit year the treatment was received.
GST is included.
