In addition to Hospital Cover allowing you to skip the lengthy public wait lists, choose your own specialist, enjoy your own private room in a private hospital and Extras Cover enabling you to claim for services that aren’t covered by Medicare, you can also:
Pay less tax
The standard Medicare Levy is 2% of your taxable income and helps fund the costs of the public health care system. An additional Medicare Levy Surcharge of up to 1.5% is payable when you earn above $93,000 a year as a single or $186,000 a year as a family. You can avoid this additional surcharge and pay less at tax time by taking out private Hospital cover.
Avoid paying more for your cover later in life
Lifetime Health Cover loading (LHC) is a government initiative which encourages people to take out private Hospital cover and maintain it for life. You may be subject to LHC loading when you decide to take out Hospital cover after the 1st of July, following your 31st birthday. You will incur a 2% loading on your premiums for each year you are over 30 years of age, (to a maximum of 70%). The loading will be removed after ten continuous years of holding a private Hospital policy. By taking out Hospital cover at 30 years of age you’ll be able to avoid these additional costs!
