Bakit po pala kailngan ng private? Mas maganda ba ang private kesa sa binibigay ng Aus?

for 457 visa holders, requirement to ng DIAC kasi they cannot access Medicare until they get PR.
For PR din naman: a lot of people choose to maintain private health insurance kahit may Medicare na (so, it's over and above Medicare Australia) because of added coverage.
@migik22: I am curious din po. Ano po advice niya regarding health insurance? Thanks!

With insurance, you can have it done privately.
Im a 457 visa holder.. Requirement talaga on our visa to get insurance kasi not legible for publicly funded health care ang work visas.
New p.r. Also may restrictions but at least legible to most hence insurance is still a must for those not covered by the insurance.

Private health doesn't come cheap though. For myself and the family, I pay around $230 per month for top coverage but it give's me a piece of mind. There are still ways to lessen the premium.

Classic Visitor's - public hospitals lang
Silver Extras - dental, therapies, etc. hahalungkatin ko muna yung booklet mamaya.
Ipapa alis ko din yung extras kasi mabigat sa bulsa. Tipid muna at tiisin ang ngipin na masakit.
Pag 475 ang visa, walang 30% na rebate kasi wala namang Medicare pag temporary migrant. Nasa visitor's insurance naka classify ang coverage pag temporary.

Sir, ok lang po ba magtanong? I am on a 457 (visitor coverage as well) and recently nag upgrade ako ng coverage. Pero pinatanggal ko yung mga extras. I'm not on Bupa pero tumitingin ako kung alin ang mas maganda.
Tanong ko po, kung ok lang... ano pong premium binabayaran niyo monthly with Bupa? Salamat!

Sis, yung $300 is family coverage or single? I am around 150 single visitor. Naghahanap nga po ako ng better deal, kumbaga.

For next month, ang ire retain ko na lang ay yung hospital muna. Pag mas ok na ang cash flow, dagdag ko ulit yung extras (ancillary)

Gp is considered outpatient and still covered.
May 1 year waiting period lng for pregnancy...so definitely no kids yet! Hahahaha.
We dont have extras to save on cost... Anyway, how often do u need glasses or go to the dentist naman. We just wemt home sa pinas couple months back.. Dentist and full check up agad before shopping or meeting families kasi mahal yan dito en:)
Not a bad deal..
