Basic Hospital Cover
Frank’s cheapest Hospital cover. It covers you in a shared room as a private patient in a public hospital, for a range of treatment types. A good option if you just want to avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge.
Benefit
Also known as a refund. Simply, it’s the amount Frank pays toward your health care costs.
Benefit Limitation Periods
Benefit Limitation Periods are important - they stop people from taking advantage of Frank’s generous nature. Benefit Limitation Periods are a restriction on what Frank will pay for a hospital treatment for a period of time. It begins the date you join Frank or switch covers. It means Frank pays public hospital benefits in a shared room, so long as you have served all other waiting periods, but then you’ll be back to normal.
