Hi Marisawright, Thank you so much for replying, your advice gives me a new direction of search. I looked into Bupa policies, seems temporary visa holders can purchase Essential Visitors Cover: https://www.tga.gov.au/prescription-medicines-and-biologicals-tga-annual-summary-2017 The policy says "overed up to 100% of the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee" but for selected pharmacy items, it says: "up to a maximum of $300 per person per calendar year." For haemophilia, the major cost was the medicine we have to inject every few days. I'm not sure does it counts as a MBS fee or Selected Pharmacy item. From the haemophilia treatment guidance I can see the medicine was provided by National Blood Authority (NBA) https://www.blood.gov.au/haemophilia-guidelines Do you know more details of that? Thanks!

Hi Ben, You mentioned that you found a private insurance that covers haemophilia, Do you still remember the name of the cover? I'm haemophilia A moving to Australia with temporary working visa, so I'm facing the same problem you are having. If I can find a private insurance that covers haemophilia A, it will solve most of the problem. Thanks! Will
