ExtrasGet more back at Members First providersAt Members First providers, you will get at least 60% back on most items, covering general dental, physio and chiro services. At Non-Members First providers, you will get back a fixed amount depending on the service. These Non-Members First providers may charge higher fees than the fixed amount so you may need to pay to cover the ‘gap’.

Waiting periodsA waiting period is the time between when you joined us and when you are covered for a service or treatment. If you receive a service or treatment during this time, you are not eligible to receive a benefit payment from us, regardless of when you submit the claim. Different waiting periods apply for different services. If you’re changing from another Australian health fund to Bupa, you’ll continue to be covered for all benefit entitlements that you had on your old cover, as long as these services are offered on your new cover with us. This is referred to as ‘continuity of cover’. To receive continuity of cover, you’ll need to transfer to us within 60 days of leaving your old fund. If you are an existing member and you change your health cover, you may need to wait before you can access your new benefits. Where your new level of cover is higher than what you previously held, the lower level of benefit applies. Waiting periods apply to services as listed below. Please refer to the full policy details to determine the specific services that are covered under your level of cover, including the associated waiting periods for those services. The following waiting periods apply for extras cover:
Understanding your ambulance coverEmergency Ambulance definition When you or your partner take out our extras cover, you will receive capped cover for recognised emergency ambulance transport and on-the-spot treatment. An emergency is when there is reason to believe that the patient’s life may be in danger or the patient should be attended to without undue delay. Transportation means a journey from the place where immediate medical treatment is sought to the casualty department of a receiving hospital. Emergency ambulance transportation is defined as air or road transportation by a Recognised Ambulance Provider of an unplanned and of a non-routine nature for the purpose of providing immediate medical attention to a person. Whether the transportation is deemed an emergency is determined by the paramedic and usually recorded on the account. Benefits are not payable for:
Ambulance cover We recommend that you take out an ambulance subscription with your recognised State Ambulance Provider if it’s available in your state (VIC, SA, NT and rural postcodes in WA). We will only provide ambulance benefits, in accordance with your level of cover, when you do not hold a subscription with an ambulance provider and a state ambulance scheme does not provide cover.
