Young Singles Start hospital & extras package

Created specifically for active, healthy singles, our Young Singles Start package combines cover for a broad range of essential hospital services. You’ll also be covered for a range of extras and can pocket the savings along the way.

Excess
Our Young Singles Start package is more affordable because you agree to pay a part of the cost for each hospital stay - up to $250 in a calendar year. The amount you’ll be required to pay as your excess is:

Admission excess (private hospital shared accommodation - overnight) $250
Admission excess (public hospital and private hospital day stay) $125
Maximum annual excess $250

If you pay the maximum annual excess ($250) in a calendar year, there are no more excesses to pay for the remainder of that year regardless of how many times you may be hospitalised. If you do not have any admissions to hospital you’ll not pay any excess.

What’s covered?

Participating private hospitals

For services not listed below under ‘exclusions and limits’ you are covered for shared room accommodation in a participating private hospital, as well as for theatre, coronary and intensive care charges (less your excess). Please note: Some private hospitals only have private rooms and co-payments will apply in private room accommodation of $100 per day, capped at 7 days per admission.

Public hospitals

For services not listed below under ‘exclusions and limits’ you are covered for shared and private room accommodation (subject to bed availability) when you are admitted as a private patient in a recognised public hospital (less your excess).

Exclusions and limits
To make our Young Singles Start package more affordable, no benefits are payable for obstetrics, joint replacement, cataract surgery, cosmetic surgery and IVF and related services. Benefits for psychiatric and rehabilitation services are payable at the basic (default) level of benefits, which means you’ll have significant out-of-pocket costs.

Limited benefits may apply to high cost drugs. Drugs purchased outside of the hospital are not included. Fixed benefits are payable in non participating private hospitals. Call 1300 4 GMHBA (46422) for more details.
