*We will pay you $50 per day (up to a maximum of $150 for 3 days) if you stay in a shared room overnight when you requested a single room in a private hospital.
Bronze Hospital cover
GMHBA's Bronze Hospital cover is different to Gold Plus, Silver Plus, Gold, Silver and Silver Single Parents covers in that it provides you with cover only in a public hospital. You are treated as a private patient in a shared room in a public hospital. Bronze cover is suitable if you want a basic level of hospital cover to avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge or to lock in your certified age of entry for Lifetime Health Cover. Haemodialysis and Gastric Banding are excluded on Bronze Hospital cover.
Which excess level?
You can reduce the cost of your hospital cover by choosing an excess. There are three different excess levels available on our hospital covers. They are:
| Level 0 |
Level 1 |
Level 2 |
| Nil ($0) |
$250 Singles
$500 families/couples/single parents |
$500 single
$1,000 families/couples/single parents |
Note: Silver Hospital Single Parents cover is only available with a $200 excess.
Please refer to the Important Information section of the GMHBA Member Guide for more information about excess levels.
