- Onemedifund operates a comprehensive and interactive website. It even lets you complete a Health Risk Assessment is an online questionnaire. This gives you a very useful breakdown of 12 specific areas of your health.
The fund offers an easy to understand Gold Hospital $250 Excess cover. It provides cover for 38 private clinical categories. These range from dental surgery to pain management.
The fund’s Comprehensive Extras cover can give you benefits to a range of services. You might not be able to access these free of charge from the public health system in Australia.
The fund operates three types of Hospital substitution programs. These let you recover where you feel most comfortable.
For example, ‘Chemo at Home’ treats you where you live with a variety of options. These include chemotherapy and targeted therapies for inflammatory bowel disease.
‘Hospital at Home’ lets you receive services you would normally receive in hospital. These include things like wound care or IV antibiotics. If you can receive the healthcare services you need at home, you may be able to avoid a hospital stay altogether.
Hospital cover provides medical gap benefits, known as Access Gap, through agreements with thousands of doctors. The idea is to reduce out of pocket costs for medical expenses or cut them completely.
You can add partners and children to your policy. Young people receive cover through their parents’ policies until they are 18 at no extra charge. This increases to 25 if they’re in full-time education provided they are not married or in a ‘de facto’ relationship.
