Peoplecare offer hospital, extras and combined cover.

Hospital Cover

There are three types of private hospital cover. Basic Hospital is the most basic and restricts services such as palliative care, psychiatric, and rehab. Mid Hospital is more comprehensive and also includes pregnancy and birth services, assisted IVF, eye surgery, cardiothoracic services and hip and knee replacements on a restricted basis. Premium Hospital is the broadest option.

Extras Cover

There are four options for extras cover. Are you young and healthy? Basic Extras may suit you best as it includes popular Extras such as General Dental, Pharmacy, Optical, Therapies (including Physiotherapy), Chiro and Osteo. As with most basic Extras policies, there are relatively low annual limits attached to these.

Looking for broader Extras cover? You may prefer Mid, High or Premium Extras instead. Mid Extras also includes Major Dental and Podiatry. Both High and Premium Extras are broader and also include Orthodontics, Laser Eye Surgery, Psychology, Health Aids and Wellness, Hearing Aids and Speech Therapy. Premium Extras has the highest limits available.

Hospital and Extras Cover

Members can combine various levels of Hospital and Extras cover.

Hospital and medical

Hospital claims are usually sent direct to Peoplecare. They will take care of the bill and let you know what you need to pay. This may not be the case for medical fees. Instead, you would need to claim from Medicare first. The bill is then sent onto Peoplecare once Medicare has done their bit.

Extras

Claiming couldn’t be simpler. Just take a photo of your receipt on a smartphone and upload it via the mobile app.
