Hindi cover ng Medicare ang OB. OB is considered specialist.
Pero hindi ka pwedeng dumiretso sa Specialist ng walang recommendation ng GP.
Kailangan mo palagi mag daan sa GP. GP mag detremine kung kailangan mo mag consult sa specialist.
Hindi rin lahat ng private health insurance covered ang OB/pregnancy. Kung balak mo mag buntis, make sure ng ma meet mo ung number of months para maging eligible. Better kuha ka ng kasama na OB/pregnancy 1 yr bago mo balak mag buntis.
OB/pregnancy fee sa doctor lang is around 2500-7000 aud kahit may private health insurance ka pero hindi covered ang pregnancy.
May ibang private health na nag cover ng OB/pregnancy depende sa kukunin mo level.
Pwede mo request sa GP ang general checkup.
- usually blood test lang. Hindi lahat ng pathology nag bulk bill.
- may narinig ako yng iba general checkup na may kasamang check kung heart kung siguro may history ka ng problem sa heart or lungs isasama nila sa general checkup.

Kung regular ka nag papa dentist / optical pwede mo mabawi yung ibang binayad mo
* Sample dental expenses:
http://yzzymae.blogspot.com.au/2014/08/dental-fee-examples-in-australia.html
http://yzzymae.blogspot.com.au/2009/12/cost-of-dental-cleaning-in-sydney.html
http://yzzymae.blogspot.com.au/2009/08/dental-expenses-in-australia.html
http://yzzymae.blogspot.com.au/search?q=dental
* optical check up - covered ng medicare
- eyeglass nasa 150+ depende kung may anti glare / anti scratch at kung ano anong pang anti....
- around 100+ frame depende sa brand
Depende pa rin sa health cover mo kung may extra coverd ng dental at optical at kung ilan percent ang covered.
Dental cleaning pa lang pwede ka na abutin ng $200 per visit.
- kung 3 kayo sa family around 600+ na siguro yun per visit sa dentist / cleaning
- initial visit mo sa dentist... rerequest ka na mag xray para makita condisyon ng ngipin mo.
Kung kailangan nyo prescription eyeglasses mag asawa, aroound $250 per prescription eyeglass eh di nasa 500 na kayong dalawa.
Kung gusto mo sa public dentist pwede rin naman kaya lang mahaba daw ang pila or pa schedule. Kung masakit ngipin mo - kaya mo ba intayin or tiisin.
Kaya malkas ang kita ng optometrist at dentist dito... covered kasi ng mga healthfund.
At par ama maximize yung health fund kailangan mo pumunta sa kanila at gamitin yearly.
Minsan kasama rin sa extra cover ng private health insurance yung massage (remedial) or accupuncture
Meron din hospital cover. Mapakinabangan mo lang naman yung hospital cover kung mag private hospital.
Another important cguro is yung ambulance.
Di mo massabi kung kailan mo kailangan or kailan may emergency.

May ilan lang nag provide ng private health at iba ibang ang condition:
- Some provide FULL cover of private health insurance tied up with the company.
Speciic na private health na tied up sa company.
- Some provide subsidy for the private health insurance cost
May specific na private health yung company na pinili para sa lahatng employee pero hidi nila sagot lahat ng cost. Kailangan mo mag dagdag ng sarili mong contribution.
- Some will give you the money and it is up to select your own private health insurance.
ibang company bibigyan kang fixed amount like eample eto 2k AUD... ikaw na mag hanap ng gusto mong private health kung mas mura man or mas mahal ang bayad ikaw na bahala.

Was just wondering what your experiences are with HCF / Medibank / Bupa. I'd like to hear from people who have actually made claims for various medical treatments or check-ups or basically anything (was customer service good, how much was covered, any out-of-pocket payments, etc?) and whether you would recommend them.
Also, for those working in the health care industry, baka you have more stories to share about your patients' experience with these insurers.

Hi Cholle -
Well, naka BUPA kami. 127.77 for couple fortnightly. First claim namin was last week for Medical Ambulance. Which was easy breezy process so far. We got the bill for ambulance last week (my GOD! 400 AUD!! and that was just for a short trip to the hospital). Dinala namin yung bill sa BUPA. The BUPA rep we spoke with was Filipino so I guess nakadali yun sa pag process. We just gave him the bill and he said they will take care of it. That simple.
One thing na napansin ko dito, maraming services are built around integrity and trust system na lang. Like that for example. Inabot lang namin yung bill. Pero wala kaming natanggap na resibo or anything to confirm na ipprocess nila yung ambulance claim. Basta ang sabi, ok na raw yun. So in the future, if balikan kami ng ambulance company at sabihing hindi kami nagbayad, wala kaming proof na nagbayad nga kami except to say na finorward namin sa BUPA yung bill and they should have paid for it.
I suggest you visit the office of the private health insurance of your choice as they may be able to give you a better package as opposed to applying online.
Good luck!

Depende cguro sa health fund yung period. Samin star is Nov.
Check nyo sa health fund para sigurado at kung kailan ang tapos ng waiting period.

Yung karamihan ng pwede ma claim may cooling off period like 2month muna bago pwede lcaim.
Check mo kung ano yung cooing off period bago maka pag claim.
Hindi rin lahat ng health fund Jan-Dec and coverage.
For dental: try to negotiate mo sa dentist kung pwedeng hindi ka na mag bayad ng GAP. Peor depende din kung ilang percent ang cover ng health fund kung papayag yung dentist.

kailangan ba tlaga ng private health insurance with hospital coverage?
- kse may medicare nman and if ok lang syo maghintay ng tawag/appointment -- should be sufficient na diba?
- benefits ng private health insurance is pwede kang mamili ng doctor and date kung kelan mo gusto magpa gamot?
- if hindi super comprehensive an private insurance mo-- may babayaran ka prin na $$$ on top of certain % ng bill mo.
- if critical /life-threatening nman ang sakit mo - uunahin ka parin nman ng public hospital diba?
reason for asking -- kinuha lng kase nmin uing extras (uing mga hindi sagot ng medicare) unless may hindi ako nakikitang super benefits

Tapos kelangan mo din iconsider yung lifetime health cover loading kung darating yung time na maisipan mong biglang kukuha ka pala ng private insurance.

A friend of mine was also diagnosed with gallstones a few months ago, nagkataon pa na kalilipat lang nila ng private health. So ang nangyari nasa public system sila. My friend was in agony for almost 1 month kasi pabalik balik sa public doctor for consultation, and ilang araw delayed yung surgery kasi pila system dun. Twice syang inoperahan kasi palpak equipment at yung doctor.
Yung isang friend ko naman na surgery sa appendix. Ganun din, sinugod sa hospital nung first night pero ilang araw pa sya naghintay ma-operahan kasi nakapila. Yung plan nya is semi-private, public yung doctor pero private yung room.
Nung nasa ER ako a few years ago sa public hospital for a non life threatening incident, nakita ko yung mga sinugod sa ER nag walk out kasi ilang oras na silang naghihintay at wala pa ring tumitingin sa kanila. I was treated for my injuries after 9 hours nung na admit ako sa ER, kaya never again ako sa public.
Tama yung sinabi mu, kung life threatening, on the brink ka na, i-prioritise ka naman ng public health care system. Kung hindi, tiis-tiis na lang. Or you can be lucky na minimum lang yung coverage mu and never get an emergency treatment.
