This is a great deal for family members of medical people including psychologists, occupational therapists etc , check their website to see if you are eligible.

I spoke to them on the phone and they said as long as you sign up for both hospital and extras the deal will be automatically applied so that as soon as you pay for 10 weeks, they add 8 weeks free. The big attraction for me is that they cover 100% for basic dental checkups, this is quite rare for dental cover but overall the extras benefits are very good except they don't cover osteopathy at all.

This offer can be stacked with the referral offer for $100 gift card.

  Do Doctors browse OzB?

    Indeed I do, female and a doctor is apparently an OzB minority. :P
    A number of my colleagues also partake in spending our feelings.
    Sometimes the only way to cope with the stress is to obsessively browse and buy things we don’t need…
    There is definitely a correlation between sh*tness of day and number of spontaneous unnecessary purchases.

      This.

      But the plans offered under this fund I found aren't really as competitive as others, despite the gift card and waived sign up…

• 

  Kas on 03/03/2021 - 12:35

  Very expensive premium when compare with other providers same level cover…

    Might be, you need to really read the fine print for the exact things that are covered. If you find it is more expensive, you can join just for the 18 weeks and then cancel.

  It's a swings and roundabouts policy. The extras can be more generous in some areas but then they also fall down in others. By way of example my son had to have a badly ingrown toenail removed by a Podiatrist. Whilst I should have checked beforehand it was annoying that they paid nothing for procedural items performed by the Podiatrist. The practice is BUPA aligned and told me if I was with BUPA I would not have been out of pocket. I won't be staying with them.

    Maybe consider going to a non-bupa aligned podiatrist. The beauty of health funds like these are they don't restrict you to see only certain practitioners that the health funds have ongoing deals with.

      It wouldn't matter who the provider was or with whom their practice is aligned, they (Doctors Health) don't pay out for Podiatry procedures whereas BUPA does.
