Extras cover

Extras cover can provide benefits for services like dental, optical (glasses and contact lenses), naturopathy, physiotherapy, podiatry, chiropractic and ambulance. The cost of these services is often not covered by Medicare, so whenever you use any of them you have to foot the bill yourself.

Extras cover allows you to claim back some of that money. The services that are covered and to what extent depends on the level of extras cover you choose.

With extras cover you can:

  • Claim benefits towards the cost of services not covered by Medicare like dental, physiotherapy and optical.
  • Claim on-the-spot using your GMHBA membership card at more than 26,000 extras providers throughout Australia.
  • Benefit from our Connect Rewards Plus member loyalty program, with combined hospital and extras products.
