What are my payment options?
You have a few options for paying your Health Insurance premium – you can set up a direct debit, pay via Visa, Mastercard or American Express online, or call and pay over the phone. See all the ways you can pay for your Health Insurance policy.
Can I add a child to my cover?
Yes, you can, as long as the child you’re adding is classified as a dependant for family health insurance purposes. This could include a child under the age of 21 or a student dependant who is studying full time and under 25. To add a child (or find out if they count as a dependent), please contact us.
Who can claim as a dependant?
A dependent for family health insurance purposes is classified as a person under the age of 21. However, you may also be a classified as a 'student dependent' if you're a full-time student under the age of 31. Also, if you're single, under 25, and not studying full-time, you may also be able to stay on your family's policy as an 'adult dependent' for an additional fee.
If I switch to AAMI, do I have to restart my waiting period?
Waiting periods you’ve already served with your previous health insurer will be recognised, so you can start getting the most out of your new AAMI Health Insurance straight away.
If there’s any waiting periods for services or higher annual limits not covered with your previous insurer, they may still apply. To make sure you receive continued cover, it’s best to switch to AAMI within 59 days of cancelling your previous policy.
Terms and conditions may apply. Check the PDS of your particular health cover to find out more.
When does my AAMI Health Cover begin?
You can elect the date you would like your AAMI Health Insurance Cover to begin. There will also be a waiting period before you’re able to make any claims – to find out what waiting periods apply on your policy please contact us.
