Cover Summary
Medibank Bronze Plus Progress
Here’s a summary of the services and treatments provided by your cover. Please read it and keep it somewhere safe for
future reference. For a better understanding of how your cover works refer to your Member Guide, which is a summary of
our Fund Rules and policies, or call us on 132 331.
Hospital cover
Hospital cover can pay towards services you receive when you’re admitted to hospital and treated as a private patient. It can’t
pay towards any services when you’re not admitted to hospital (eg. seeing your GP or specialist).
Here are the services that are Included, Restricted and Excluded under your Hospital cover.
You may still incur out-of-pocket expenses above the amount we pay. Before booking your treatment, call us to find out the
benefits you can expect to receive, and any out-of-pocket expenses you might incur.

practitioner and Medicare benefits are payable, we will pay benefits towards the hospital and medical charges.
Cover Summary Medibank Bronze Plus Progress | 1
• Accidental Injury Benefit means that any Excluded or Restricted Service will be treated as if it is an Included Service, where you require hospital
treatment as a result of injuries sustained in an Accident. It only applies to hospital treatment received within twelve (12) months of the date of
the Accident occurring, and where:
• The Accident occurred after joining your cover
• The Accident occurred in Australia
• Your cover was not suspended at the time of the Accident
• You sought treatment from a medical practitioner within seven (7) days of the Accident
See your Member Guide for more information.
Things you need to know about your Hospital cover
Waiting Periods
A waiting period applies when you join Medibank, or change your cover to include new or upgraded services. We won’t pay
benefits for any items purchased or services received while you are serving a waiting period.
Switching from another health insurer?
You may not need to re-serve waiting periods if you join Medibank within 2 months of leaving your previous health insurer,
and you’ve already served the waiting period for that service.
Accident Waiting Period Waiver
Where a 1-day or 2-month waiting period applies to a service or treatment under your Hospital cover, it may be waived for
claims resulting from an Accident that occurred after joining this cover.
Waiting periods
1 day Ambulance services.
Hospital psychiatric services, Rehabilitation and Palliative care.
2 months
Hospital treatment for conditions requiring hospitalisation that are not deemed pre-existing conditions.
Pre-existing conditions
An ailment, illness or condition that, in the opinion of a Medical Practitioner appointed by Medibank, the signs or symptoms of which
12 months existed at any time in the 6 month period prior to the day on which you became insured under the policy or changed your cover.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)-type devices.
Excess
This is the amount you pay towards your hospital admission (same-day or overnight) before we pay any benefits. There are
three excess levels on this cover; $250, $500 and $750.
The excess applies per member, per calendar year and it doesn’t apply to child, student or adult dependants on a family
membership. Some hospitals may require you to pay the excess at the time of admission.
Making the most of your Hospital cover
Go to a Members’ Choice Hospital
Medibank has arrangements with most private hospitals and day surgeries in Australia, so you generally get better value
for Included Services if you go to one of these providers.
To find your nearest Members’ Choice hospital, visit [Link]/memberschoice
Members’ Choice hospitals are subject to change from time to time and are not in all areas.
GapCover – How to reduce your in-hospital medical out-of-pocket expenses
Medibank’s GapCover is designed to help eliminate or reduce your out-of-pocket expenses for in-hospital doctor’s charges.
Where your doctor decides to charge more than the MBS fee (the set government fee), you will be left with an out-of-pocket
expense, commonly referred to as the ‘gap’.
Doctors can choose to participate in GapCover on a claim-by-claim basis.
Check upfront with each doctor involved if they’ll participate in Medibank’s GapCover for each claim as part of your
treatment, to help reduce your out-of-pocket expense. Out-of-pocket expenses may still apply.
It’s important to know GapCover doesn’t apply to diagnostic services. See your Member Guide for more information.
Choice of treating doctor or specialist
You can choose your doctor or specialist when you’re treated in hospital as a private patient.
