Health is free in Australia but I wanted better health (it's really bad that it all depends on what hospital you go to, for me, seeing as you can end up paying more if you go to a closer hospital, but I digress)...
And I just got MediBank Private. I have $250 of my glasses covered, physio for my leg, acupuncture, massage therapy and even speech pathology all on my plan. I also get to see a dentist, in full, twice a year.
I'm paying $20 a month for the extras (not counting the actual OH SHIT I NEED AN ER!).
Was this a good company to go with? I can cancel anytime but I have to wait a few months (depending on surgery) before I can go in. Two months before I can get physio for my leg, six months before I can get my glasses, etc.
My parter is with someone different but I don't know how his works.
Also, I only got the extras and I plan on getting the emergency hospital coverage for private hospitals as well, how much should I expect to pay for that?
And for the dentist, they said I pay with a card that I swipe and for anything else, I pay up front and send MediBank the bill. Do they pay back soon? Why can't they use the card? Do they need to prove if it's for an injury? I already asked and they said my pre-existing leg injury was perfectly fine.
