Health Insurance

Make the Most of Your Private Health Insurance Benefits

If you have private health insurance with dental extras cover, your policy may contribute towards, or even fully cover, many common dental treatments. However, many people are unsure what dental benefits they are entitled to, which treatments are covered, or when their annual benefits reset.

While most people know their health fund provider, many are less familiar with the details of their extras cover and the dental benefits available to them. As a result, it is not uncommon for valuable benefits to go unused each year.

Many health funds operate on an annual benefit system, meaning that any unused dental benefits may expire at the end of the benefit period. In most cases, these unused benefits cannot be carried forward into the following year. If they are not used, they may simply be lost.
