Extras
Choosing the right cover
Before you start, it's essential that you understand the 'rules' that apply to private health cover. Because these rules affect all health cover options, you must read the Important Information page.
If you have any questions at all about what the terms and conditions mean or how they might affect you, please call us on 1300 362 155.
Extras with or without hospital cover
Not just for the lumps and bumps
Mention private health insurance and many people think about the likelihood of a trip to hospital. But in fact, you are much more likely to visit your dentist, be treated by a physiotherapist or head off to the optometrist for glasses when the world around you gets a little blurry. In record numbers, Australians are using the skills of alternative therapists to help them deal with the pressures of modern life.
You may need an asthma appliance, blood glucose monitor or perhaps a hearing aid, but no matter what your needs, from basic to extensive, Extras helps towards the cost of services that are so important to your health and wellbeing.
Browse the tables to see what level of cover appeals to you. If you're still not sure, call us on 1300 362 155 and we'll guide you through the different options.
Our Extras tables can be combined with your preferred Latrobe hospital cover, and many can be taken by themselves as stand alone extras cover.

On many services there's no limit to the amount you can claim, so it's ideal for larger families, or those who need ongoing treatment.
Premier Gold can be taken on its own or combined with your hospital cover.
