Top hospital cover when you need it. Excellent range of value-added services: hospital substitute treatment, hospital substitute programs, chronic disease management programs and care coordination (conditions apply). An excess is applied once per adult per calendar year. The hospital excess is waived for dependants. Reducing your excess is considered to be upgrading your membership. We will charge your previous excess within the first two months of the upgrade, including for adults who are upgrading their level of cover by joining/re-joining as a dependant on a family membership.
