Ambulance cover

Ambulance cover helps with the costs incurred when being treated by paramedics and transported in ambulances.

Ambulance cover

Ambulance cover helps with the costs incurred when being treated by paramedics and transported in ambulances.

It is advised that everyone in Australia has Ambulance Cover, as it is not covered under Medicare. Ambulance cover will give you the peace of mind to know you will avoid potentially thousands of dollars’ worth of ambulance bills.

Hunter Health Insurance Ambulance policies provide cover where the service is provided by a State Government Ambulance Service.

We offer 6 months or 12 months cover as a stand alone ambulance policy, or you can choose to add ambulance cover to your hospital policy.

Who is covered?

Family Cover entitles benefits to the person whose names appear on the HHI Ambulance Cover membership, their spouse or co-habiting partner, and the children or dependents under 21 years, or under 25 years if they are a full-time student.

Single cover entitles benefits to the person whose name appears on the Ambulance Cover membership.

When does it start?

For accident or emergency cases, Ambulance Cover commences immediately.

A 7-day waiting period applies to all other types of ambulance cover claim. Persons transferring ambulance cover from another health insurer who have already served the 7-day waiting period receive immediate cover.

What is and is not covered?

All emergency services provided by the State Government ambulance transport scheme or their contracted service providers are covered in the following circumstances

  • All services must be medically justified.
  • Where it is medically necessary to be admitted to hospital.
  • Emergency call out to your home even if you are not subsequently admitted to hospital.

Our Ambulance cover does not provide benefits when

  • Ambulance transport involving patient movement between hospitals (Patient Transport).
  • Transport to and from hospital when it is not medically necessary and alternative transport is available e.g., taxi, motor vehicle.
  • Transport to places including outpatient departments, day centre when the services are not deemed necessary by a medical practitioner.

Things to remember

  • Ambulance services are funded differently in some States.
  • In NSW and the ACT, cover is provided through an ambulance levy which is included in some hospital premiums. Nevertheless, cover under this scheme does not cover all Australian states. Residents in other states should check their home state ambulance services for coverage and services, Alternative contact us at Hunter Health Insurance for your individual consultation.
  • As well, some people who receive a Government pension or social security entitlement may also be covered for ambulance services.
  • The Federal Government rebate on private health insurance also applies to ambulance cover. Find out more about rebates here

As the Hunter’s first not-for-profit health insurer, we started by serving those in the community most in need — miners and their families.

Stewart

“My family has been with HHI since the beginning & we’ve never had any issues or problems. We like that they’re a not for profit, and community minded. In comparison to other funds, I believe Hunter Health Insurance to be the best value in both member contributions and benefit claims.”

Tracey

“My husband and I are in our 30’s and shopped around for the best health cover. And given we have a newborn baby, health cover was more important than ever. We are delighted with HHI. Their contribution rates are very reasonable, and their service and benefits are reliable.”

Shirley

“My husband was hospitalised and we never saw a bill!
Hunter Health Insurance looked after paying for everything, promptly and efficiently. We were previously with another health fund and now we enjoy the same cover for 20% less contributions!
Doesn’t get much better than that!”

Joy

“I believe Hunter Health Insurance is a marvellous fund. I was in hospital recently for a hip replacement and it didn’t cost me a penny – Hunter Health Insurance paid every bill very quickly.”

Gwen

“My husband and I have recommended Hunter Health Insurance to family and friends for years. We have Silver Plus cover and when my husband spent some time in hospital, the bill was immediately paid by Hunter Health Insurance without fuss.”

Trevor & Norma

“We are very happy with Hunter Health Insurance and wouldn’t dream of going to another health fund. They’re friendly and their contribution rates are very competitive.”
