Upgrade your cover
Add family members or additional modules to your Policy
- You can choose to add family members or additional modules such as Specialists, Day to Day, Natural Health or Dental/Vision to your Policy at your own cost.
- Read more about additional module options in the Hospital Select Plan document.
- You can also choose to 'buy out' the $500 excess on your health plan. This means that instead of paying an excess when you claim, you will pay a slightly higher premium. Eliminate the out-of-pocket expense when making a surgical claim.
