These waiting periods also apply when transferring to a product with higher benefits. In these circumstances the benefits will be paid at your previous level of cover, if you have served your waiting periods at that level. If you re switching to HBF from another health insurer, you won t need to re-serve waiting periods you have already completed with your previous insurer. If you re moving from a level of cover with an excess to a level of cover without an excess, you ll still need to pay the excess if you re admitted to hospital during the waiting period. Pre-existing ailments or conditions This is an illness or condition which, in the opinion of an independent medical practitioner (appointed by HBF), was known to exist, or where signs or symptoms were evident during the six month period before you became an HBF member, including on the day you joined. This also applies if you transferred to a level of cover with higher benefits. If you proceed with a hospital admission without confirming what benefits you re eligible for and your condition is determined to be pre-existing, you will be required to pay all outstanding hospital and medical charges not covered by Medicare. Making your claim Most hospitals and medical practitioners bill HBF directly. But if you need to make a hospital claim, just contact us and we ll be able to help. Please note: No benefit is payable for hospital treatment where a Medicare benefit is not payable (except certain dental and podiatry surgery where HBF will pay a benefit for accommodation and hospital costs). 1 For more information on HBF Member Plus hospitals and services agreed to at these facilities please see page 10 or contact us. 2 Benefits for rehabilitation services related to restricted or excluded procedures will be limited. 3 Limited hospital benefits apply therefore significant out-of-pocket costs may be incurred. 4 No benefit for procedures that are restricted or excluded on your level of cover. 5 We will cover the cost for urgent ambulance transport by road for circumstances classified by the state ambulance provider as requiring urgent attention. 4 5

4 Hospital benefits Here s a guide to the hospital expenses you can receive a benefit towards. This information is in regards to treatment covered on your policy for agreed services at HBF Member Plus hospitals. Accommodation Theatre Medical Pharmacy Prostheses Accommodation When you go into hospital, regardless of whether you have a procedure or not, you will in most cases be charged for a hospital room. Top and Mid Hospital You re fully covered for a private or shared room. Healthy Saver and Young Saver Hospital You re fully covered for accommodation in a shared room. If shared accommodation isn t available, you may need to pay the additional cost between the shared and private room rate. Hospital excess If you re on HBF Top, Mid or Young Saver Hospital cover, you have the option of adding an excess to reduce your premiums. The excess is payable once per member per calendar year (to a maximum of twice per family policy) no matter how many times you may be hospitalised. You won t be required to pay an excess for any dependent children on your family policy. The excess options are shown in the table on page 4. The fees charged for your room in a private or public hospital The fees charged for the theatre in which your procedure is performed The fees charged by your surgeon, anaesthetist and pathologist The fees for some of the non-pbs pharmaceuticals administered during your hospital stay The fees charged for prostheses used during your procedure Hospital boarders If you need someone to stay with you while you re in hospital, we will fully cover the charge for a hospital boarder whose presence is necessary to the management of your condition. Long stay patients After 35 days of continuous hospitalisation (and if you no longer need acute care) the hospital must classify you as a nursing home type patient. If this happens, we can only pay a small portion of the fee per day and you will be required to contribute towards the cost of your care. If you are in a private hospital these costs may be quite substantial. Theatre HBF members with Hospital cover policies are fully covered for theatre costs at HBF Member Plus hospitals, except for treatments restricted or excluded on your policy (see page 4 for treatments covered, restricted and excluded for each cover type). Public hospitals do not charge theatre fees. Please note, there will be out-of-pocket expenses for procedures being performed using robotics. 82% of in-hospital medical treatments in WA are fully covered which means if you need to go to hospital, you re not likely to have to pay a gap for your procedure. 6 7

5 Medical If your medical practitioner (your surgeon, specialist or anaesthetist for example) charges more than the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee, there ll be a gap that you ll need to pay to the doctor. We may cover all, some or none of this gap, depending on the agreement we have with the doctor. The doctor will fall into one of three categories: 1. Fully covered: These practitioners are fully covered by Medicare and your HBF cover, so you won t have anything to pay. 2. Known-gap: In most instances, these practitioners have agreed to charge a fixed amount above the MBS fee. We ll cover some of this gap, but you may also have an out-of-pocket expense. However, for some procedures, known-gap doctors might opt to charge above the agreed amount (in these instances, you ll have to pay all expenses above the MBS fee). Known-gap practitioners should provide you with details of out-of-pocket expenses prior to performing the procedure. 3. No agreement: If you use a no agreement provider, you ll have to pay all costs above the MBS fee. Many surgeons work with a preferred anaesthetist and may also use an assistant. Speak with your doctor prior to your procedure to find out who will be involved in your surgery, so you can check with us whether your surgeon and any supporting medical practitioners will be covered. Pharmacy When you are admitted into hospital for a procedure, it s likely that you ll be given medication. We may pay a benefit towards the cost of non-pbs prescription pharmaceuticals administered during a hospital stay. Pharmacy limits, restrictions and a $100 co-payment may apply. Please contact us to find out more. Prostheses Prostheses are the surgically implanted devices you may need if you have a procedure such as joint replacement or heart treatment. All levels of HBF Hospital provide cover for prostheses as long as you are admitted to hospital for the procedure and the item is listed on the government Prostheses List. However, you won t receive a benefit for prostheses implanted during a procedure that is specifically excluded from your level of cover or if your procedure doesn t have an MBS item number. Most prostheses are fully covered, however some have an out-of-pocket expense. We suggest you discuss the choice of prosthesis with your medical practitioner. How do I find out if I am fully covered for my prosthesis? It is important to talk to your medical practitioner to find out whether a prosthesis will be used during your procedure. Once you have confirmed this, you will need to know the item number and charge for the prosthesis and the item number of the procedure you will be having. When you have this information, simply contact HBF. Members on Top and Healthy Saver Hospital can receive benefits for maternity services in HBF Member Plus hospitals. Maternity Accommodation and labour ward Top and Healthy Saver Hospital You re fully covered for labour ward and accommodation fees in a private room in a Member Plus hospital (less any excess). Cover for your baby If you re already on family cover, you won t need to pay anything additional to add your newborn to your policy. However, if you re currently on a single or couple policy and want your newborn to be covered for benefits from birth, you ll need to add your baby to your policy within two months of your baby s birth date. Parent plus or family premiums will apply from the baby s date of birth. Newborn babies Newborn babies are not considered to be patients in a hospital for the first nine days, unless they are admitted to a special care facility, or the baby is part of a multiple birth. Breastfeeding support You may be able to access a lactation service through your hospital and we will pay a benefit towards this as part of your hospital stay. 8 9

6 HBF Member Plus hospitals HBF Member Plus hospitals provide great value for our members. In Member Plus hospitals you ll be covered for accommodation and theatre fees, less any agreed excesses for all agreed services. HBF non-member Plus hospitals It s important to stay at an HBF Member Plus hospital, otherwise you may have significant out-of-pocket expenses. We recommend that before arranging a hospital stay, you call us on to find out if you are being admitted to an HBF Member Plus hospital and to confirm what you are covered for. Please also remember, all benefits are subject to any restrictions or exclusions on your chosen level of cover. Non-agreed services in HBF Member Plus hospitals While most services are covered in all Member Plus hospitals, there may be some services that are not we refer to them as non-agreed services. It s important to check that your required service is covered by HBF before going to hospital to avoid any significant out-of-pocket expenses. A personal visit in hospital Our hospital liaison officers visit most HBF members staying overnight in HBF Member Plus private hospitals. They can explain your hospital cover and answer any other queries you may have. So you have help when you need it most. GapSaver and Ambulance Plus can be added to your Hospital policy to minimise your out-of-pocket expenses or provide cover for non-urgent ambulance transport. GapSaver GapSaver can be added to your HBF Package as a way of putting money aside to help cover out-of-pocket expenses in hospital or for an Extras or Wellness service. GapSaver benefits accrue quarterly and you can use the benefits you ve accrued for as long as you have HBF health cover (they don t expire each year). Only GapSaver benefits accrued at the date of service can be used towards your claim. If you re eligible for the Australian Government Rebate, you could accrue more GapSaver benefits than you ll pay in premiums. This makes GapSaver a great way to reduce your healthcare costs. There are four levels of GapSaver cover to choose from. Singles Couple/family $100 $200 $200 $400 $400 $800 $600 $1200 Here s an example of how GapSaver could work when you visit an HBF Member Plus dentist: Total bill $200 HBF covers $120 Out-of-pocket expense $80 Your GapSaver benefits at time of appointment $100 GapSaver payment $80 Remaining GapSaver benefit $20 Total amount you pay $0 Ambulance Plus HBF members with Hospital cover can choose to add the extra protection of Ambulance Plus. This provides cover for non-urgent ambulance care in WA, subject to availability. Benefits are capped at $3000 per person per year. Please be aware that if you are an Aged Pensioner you may not need Ambulance Plus cover due to the WA State Government s provision of free ambulance services. There s a 30-day waiting period for Ambulance Plus

7 Your questions answered To what age are my children covered? On most family policies, your children will be covered at no extra charge up until the end of the year they turn 18, unless they re married or in a de facto relationship. Cover may then be continued up to the age of 25, provided they are not married or in a de facto relationship and are either studying fulltime or not earning more than $21,250 per calendar year. If you are on a single policy, you will have to transfer to a parent plus or family policy to add your child. Am I covered outside Australia? No Australian health fund is legally permitted to pay benefits for any medical treatment or services provided outside Australia. You may want to take out HBF travel insurance (generous discounts apply for every HBF member) if you are travelling overseas. If you are going to be away for longer than two months you can suspend your health cover membership without losing any benefits or having to re-serve waiting periods when you return. It won t cost you anything to suspend your cover, and you won t need to pay for your health insurance while you re out of Australia. Some conditions apply so please contact us for details. Are there any exclusions on benefits? What if I change my mind? We want you to be sure that you ve chosen the policy that best suits your needs, so you have a 30-day cooling-off period from the date you join or change cover. During this time, you may receive a full refund for any premiums you ve paid as long as you haven t made a claim. Do I have to use my HBF cover in a public hospital? No. As a patient in a public hospital, you can choose to be treated as a private or public patient if you have private health insurance. A public patient s accommodation and treatment are provided without charge. However, if you choose to be a public patient you will be treated by a medical practitioner assigned by the hospital. You should also be aware that the allocation of private rooms in public hospitals is decided according to clinical need. As a private patient in a public hospital, you may incur some out-of-pocket expenses for medical services and/or accommodation. Am I covered around Australia? You ll be covered wherever you are in Australia. As different states have varying medical costs, premiums are a reflection of the state you reside in. Before arranging a hospital stay, it s always a good idea to get a quote from your doctor or specialist and contact us to see how much will be covered by your HBF health insurance. Please call us for more information or visit hbf. com.au/australia. There are a few circumstances under which HBF will not pay a benefit: If your membership is unfinancial at the time of treatment or service On claims covered by worker s compensation, third party or other legal right For treatment or services required by your employer or potential employer to be provided to you as a condition of your employment or by your insurer as a condition of your policy For treatment or services provided outside of Australia For care and accommodation in nursing homes Before a treatment or service has been received If a claim is not lodged within two years of the date of service For hospital treatment that is not eligible for a Medicare benefit, such as cosmetic surgery For outpatient services What if I m not eligible for Medicare? If you aren t eligible for Medicare, you will experience large out-of-pocket hospital and medical expenses with our HBF Hospital cover. You may wish to consider HBF overseas visitor cover which provides benefits for services Medicare would normally cover. Please contact us or visit hbf.com.au for more information
