What's the difference between Hospital Cover and Extras Cover?
Hospital Cover helps pay for treatment as a private patient when you need to go to hospital because hospitals typically charge for things like accommodation, intensive care, surgery and any prescription medication required for specific treatment when you’re in hospital.
Extras Cover helps with everyday healthcare services typically not covered by Medicare, like visits to the dentist, optometrist, chiropractor, physio and more.

- Choice of which specialists treat you, when and where
