What to look for in singles health cover

As we learn through our 20s and 30s, being young doesn’t make us invincible.

Unexpected sickness and accidents are sometimes a fact of life and it’s well worth having health cover on your side regardless of your current health situation.

Avoiding public hospital waiting lists and having access to your chosen hospital if you have an accident are just two great benefits of being covered with AAMI Health Insurance Basic Hospital Plus Cover.

Medicare Levy Surcharge

The Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) is a government tax on top of the normal Medicare Levy and impacts singles with a taxable income of over $93,000 for singles and $186,000 for families. 

Holding any AAMI Health Insurance Hospital Cover product means you won’t pay the MLS if your income is above the government threshold and you maintain your hospital cover for the full financial year.
