information about Geelong's own health fund - GMHBA
Value
and service Our
mission is to provide you with access to high quality private health
care and earn your respect as a trusted partner. Our customer service
staff are trained to provide you with honest informative health
insurance advice.
Hospital and extras GMHBA
currently has agreements with all major metropolitan private hospitals.
In fact we have more than 380 private hospital and day surgery
facilities in our network. And when it comes to our extensive range of
extras benefits, you’ll also be able to claim on the spot
with more than 20,000 service providers throughout Australia.
Dependants Child
dependants aged under 21 are covered on a family and single parent
membership at no extra cost. Hospital excesses for child dependants
aged under 21 are not payable on GMHBA hospital covers with the
exception of Great Value Gold Hospital
cover (EK). Single student dependants aged under 25 are covered when
studying full-time or undertaking a full-time apprenticeship or
full-time traineeship.
Covers
for younger people & single parents
We have covers designed for younger, active people
who are not planning a family.These
covers are more affordable as they have exclusions or restrictions on
certain services. Our Single Parents Hospital cover reduces your
premium by excluding obstetrics and IVF and related services.
Why you need
GMHBA
Reassurance
People eligible for Medicare can enjoy the peace of
mind from knowing that should one of life’s unexpected events
occur to you or someone in your family, you can choose your doctor,
hospital and time of hospital treatment. And you can be reassured that
you’re covered for services Medicare excludes, such as
dental, ambulance, acupuncture, chiropractic, physiotherapy, optical
and much more.
Financial
protection
Some claims
amount to more than $100,000. Last year we paid over $98,700 in
benefits between two
members, aged just 10 and 22. It’s comforting to know GMHBA
can also protect you from financial hardship.
A healthier
future
Whether you play sport, visit the dentist, wear
glasses, need treatment for aches and pains, want to avoid public
hospital waiting lists, are planning a family or just want peace of
mind – GMHBA can help you avoid waiting lists and minimise
disruptions so you can enjoy a healthy future.
Your
financial advantages
Federal Government rebates
Provided you’re eligible for Medicare,
you can pay 30 to 40% less on your premium with the Federal Government
rebate. The rebate is available regardless of your income or type of
cover and varies by age.
Lifetime
health cover loading
This Federal Government initiative encourages
people to take out hospital cover earlier in life. By taking out
hospital cover by the 1st of July after your 31st birthday,
you’ll pay base premium rates. However if you
don’t, you’ll pay a loading of 2% on this base rate
for every year you are over 30 when you join, up to a maximum of 70% at
the age of 65.
Avoid the
Medicare levy surcharge
If your taxable income exceeds $50,000 per year
($100,000 for families, couples and single parents) you’ll
have to pay an additional 1% of your income as a Medicare levy
surcharge if you don’t have an eligible hospital cover. By
taking out an eligible hospital cover you can avoid this extra
surcharge. Depending on your income, it may even cost you less to enjoy
the benefits of hospital cover than pay the Medicare levy surcharge.

confidence
Quality,
affordable health insurance
If you ask why our quality health insurance covers
sometimes cost $100’s less a year than other health insurance
funds - it’s simple. We don’t do one-off gimmicks
such as a free month of health insurance, free gym shoes, free iPods or
even free sunglasses! Instead we provide quality health insurance at
the lowest cost possible. Perhaps that’s why we’ve
been the fastest growing health insurance fund over the last 7 years
and in business for more than 70 years.
Our value
guarantee
If you manage to find better value health insurance
elsewhere within 60 days of joining and haven’t made a claim,
simply cancel your membership and we’ll refund your money!
* To a maximum
of 7% of the annual value of the premium. Limit 1 GMHBA SaveFooty club
fee per person.
