Add family members and additional modules
- You can choose to add family members to your plan at your own cost, which can be found in the premium chart brochure.
- You can also add additional modules such as Day to Day, Specialists, Natural Health or Dental/Vision at your own cost. You can read more about these in the Hospital Select Plan brochure.
- You can 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 and get easy access to your health plan straight away.
- A UniMed representative will be in touch to discuss your needs and assist you with adding family or additional cover.
