Most Australians leave thousands of dollars in unused health fund benefits on the table each year. Don’t be one of them!
The average Australian family spends $1,584 annually on health insurance extras. Are you making the most of every dollar you’re paying for?
This is an important reminder that many health fund extras expire on 31 December and reset on 1 January. Your unused dental benefits won’t roll over into the new year – it really is a case of, use it or lose it.
The level of benefits and the specific services covered can vary depending on the level of Extras cover you chose with your health fund. The thing is, you’ve already paid for these benefits through your monthly premiums, so why give them back? It’s important to check with your health insurance provider to understand the specific benefits and limits associated with your extras cover.
Your end-of-year dental checklist:
✓ Claim your unused dental benefits before they reset
✓ Get a comprehensive check-up and clean
✓ Address any dental concerns before the new year
✓ Maximise the extras you’ve been paying for all year
