Waiting periods and continuity of cover All health funds have waiting periods to protect members by encouraging people to maintain their health cover. A waiting period is a length of time applied to each new health cover and also applies when cover is upgraded. During this period, benefits are generally not payable. The RBHS will provide continuity of cover for anyone transferring from another registered Australian health fund or changing from another RBHS product provided that an equivalent or a higher level of cover was held. To be eligible for continuity of cover the transferring health cover must be financial and a Clearance Certificate must be provided by the previous health fund. If you have served part of your waiting periods with your previous health fund, you will receive waiting period credits when you transfer to RBHS for the portion you have already served. The following table outlines waiting periods for Extras cover. For more information on waiting periods, Clearance Certificates or continuity of cover, please call us on 1800 027 299 or email info@myrbhs.com.au. Extras Cover Months Type of Waiting Period 2 12 Ambulance Physiotherapy Chiropractic & osteopath General dental Approved health management programs Other general treatment Optical & laser eye Major dental Health aids & screening IVF Please note that not all items are listed and other waiting periods may apply. Please contact the fund for more information. Limits For some benefits, there is a limit on the total amount the RBHS will pay each year. Benefits that can be claimed only once a year are renewed on 1 January each year. The two-, three- and five-yearly benefits are determined from the date the service is first provided. We recommend that you check with us before your service date to ensure that you will be covered. The service date is defined as the date of treatment or receipt of an item. Members planning any comprehensive and expensive health care should get a quote from the provider, including item numbers and associated costs, and ask us for details of the benefit(s) payable. Page 8 of 12

Making an Extras claim Electronic Just swipe your membership card at the time of service, sign for the service to validate the claim and pay the gap (if applicable). This means that you do not need to lodge a claim manually, as the RBHS pays your benefit directly to the practitioner. Online You can claim for a range of extras benefits at www.myrbhs.com.au. Mail or fax Simply complete a claim form, attach all accounts and/or receipts and Post to: Reserve Bank Health Society Ltd Locked Bag 23 Wollongong NSW 2500 Fax to: 1300 309 704 Email Complete a claim form online or scan your completed claim form and a copy of all accounts and/or receipts and email them to info@myrbhs.com.au.

Your claim is processed automatically and your fund benefit is paid straight into your account. You don t even need to send in your receipts for certain claims under $200 (but you do need to keep all your receipts as we may ask for them later to check some of the information). Claims that are over $200 can still be completed online, but before payment is made you will need to send in or upload a scanned copy of your receipts.

Cooling-off period A new member may cancel their policy within 30 days of joining the RBHS on the following basis: If the member has not made a claim in the 30 days from the commencement date of their policy, they will receive a full refund of all premiums paid. If the member has made a claim in the first 30 days of their policy, the cooling-off period is null and void. Code of Conduct This Code was developed by Private Healthcare Australia (PHA) and HIRMAA (representing restricted and regional health funds). As well as promoting improved standards in clarity of information given to members, it aims to solve problems between members and the RBHS through internal dispute resolution. The Code also ensures that funds inform their members of their entitlement to seek assistance from an external dispute resolution body, such as the Private Health Insurance Ombudsman (PHIO). Privacy policy The RBHS is subject to the Privacy Act 1988 and aims to comply fully with its obligations under this Act. The Act also contains a number of Privacy Principles, which the RBHS adheres to. To obtain a full copy of the RBHS privacy policy, visit our website www.myrbhs.com.au or call us on 1800 027 299. Complaints policy Policyholders are entitled to have any decision of the RBHS independently reviewed. To assist in this process, the RBHS complaints policy has been developed. To obtain a full copy of the RBHS complaints policy, visit our website www.myrbhs.com.au or call us on 1800 027 299. Please read this document carefully and retain for future reference.
