The benefits paid for hospital treatment will depend on the type of cover you purchase and whether your fund has an agreement in place with the hospital in which you are treated. See ‘Agreement Hospitals’ on privatehealth.gov.au for which hospitals have arrangements with your insurer – https://privatehealth.gov.au/dynamic/agreementhospitals.

Under this policy, you may have to pay out-of-pocket costs above what you get from Medicare or your private health insurer. Before you go to hospital, you should ask your doctors, hospital and health insurer about any out-of-pocket costs that may apply to you.

The following payments may also apply for hospital admissions

Excess: No excess

Co-payments: No co-payments

The following waiting periods for hospital admissions apply to new or upgrading members Waiting periods:

2 months for palliative care, rehabilitation and hospital psychiatric treatments, even if pre-existing
12 months for other pre-existing conditions
12 months for pregnancy and birth (obstetrics)
2 months for all other treatments

Gap Cover

This provider offers 'known gap' or 'no gap' cover for medical bills for this product. The Medical Costs Finder (https://www.health.gov.au/resources/apps-and-tools/medical-costs-finder) lets you find out more about the cost of specialist medical services.

Other features of this hospital cover

nib does not have a preferred-provider-network-arrangement, but operates an nib-MediGap scheme aiming to eliminate the 'gap' payments for specialist fees in hospital. When a specialist chooses to participate in MediGap, they agree not to charge an out-of-pocket expense for your procedure. We do this by building a network of specialists who may agree to receive a higher benefit from nib than they would ordinarily receive. In exchange they do not charge nib customers an out-of-pocket expense. Ask your specialist if they'll MediGap for you! Our Going to Hospital Pack provides more ways to reduce out-of-pockets, ask us for your copy.

For further information about this policy see: https://my.nib.com.au/product-collateral/9

Extras Cover

By using our FirstChoice providers, you may have lower out-of-pocket costs on many allied health services. A list of "preferred providers" is available from the health insurer. See https://www.nib.com.au/find-a-provider.
