Yes tama ang agent mo, you need to provide funds for your family sa initial application mo kahit di mo pa sila kasama dito. Yan din ang experience ng friend ko, hindi niya nailagay so hindi na nadeclare tuloy na may anak siya beforehand.

Anyone here experience making changes on their OSHC? I got mine automatic from my Uni but my coverage will only start on July 1 but I am departing on June to have at least a month adjustment before my class start. Now my Uni won't help, I have to contact Medibank directly daw. But when I did, the representative suggested 'visitor's healthcare' to cover for earlier date. Now, I looked into it and found out that it might not satisfy my visa since for students we must have OSHC. Anyone can help me with this please? I would greatly appreciate!

@MsSenoJR How about trying to get from another OSHC provider? I'ts just strange why medibank won't extend your OSHC. Kasi yung ibang providers you just need to pay them if you need an extra month.

@Cassey Thank you very much for that suggestion! I will definitely try it. So okay lang po kahit 2 providers ko? They said that my OSHC package is exclusive only for partnered Universities. Kaya di ako makapagapply for myself. Need ko pa ba pa-update CoE ko?

@MsSenoJR Ahh, oo some OSHC are tied up with certain universities but still you should be able to extend kasi 1 month lang naman, magaadditional na payment lang. Ang alam ko wala namang kaso, ang pinakaconcern mo lang kumbaga eh yung may maipakita ka na may health cover ka for that 1 month period. No need to update your COE i suppose. Yung sa amin kasi we just called the OSCH provider at nagpaextend kami, wala namang naging problema kaya dko maintindihan kung bakit ayaw ng medibank.

@Bem Talagang matagal nga ngayon pati mga onshore applicants, matagal din yung pagaantay. Parang mas strict kasi sila lately, sinusunod nila yung processing times, unlike before na mabilis lang grant. Patience pa, hehe Godbless.

@cassey mam thank you for the response. It's almost a month and a half. What's bothering me is that if there's something wrong and they'd inform me in the neek of time.

Been reading timelines of grantees and i've noticed that those who got the most days of waiting are the ones who were asked to submit additional papers or procedures for the medical
