If you're a young active single, Healthy Start is a package of hospital cover and some important extras to suit your needs and budget

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 and retain all information provided in 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.

You have two levels of hospital cover – private and public
Cover in a private hospital - restricted only to the procedures listed below

You are covered in a private hospital only for these treatments:

  • Knee operations – arthroscopy and meniscectomy
  • Removal of appendix, tonsils, adenoids or wisdom teeth
  • Dilation and curette where no other procedure is performed
  • Any immediate treatment as a result of an accident. This does not include any subsequent treatment.

Default benefits will apply to the cost of any other medical treatment not listed above.
