wheresdbeef Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi all I hope some one can help with this question? I have PR and have been in Australia three years. During this time I have never really thought about getting Health insurance. I've been to the hospital twice using medicare and found the service to be excellent (thankfully). The other day a had a bad tooth ache and when I looked into the cost of dental treatment in Australia I had realised it was so high. I decided to put off going to the dentist as the pain has subsided but I was think of getting health insurance this week and going to the dentist next week, would I be able to claim for the cost of the visit or is there a waiting period?

newjez Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Depends on the small print sometimes they waive the claim period, but usually you have to wait awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpo1971 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 If they're advertised as 'no wait period' you can claim straight away. If they're not, there will likely be a monthly qualifying period, dependent on provider and service. Some advertise 'no wait period' offers throughout the year to attract new business.
