Can I get more information?
Frank has a lot more information about the specifics of cover. Find out more about hospital fees, doctor’s fees, gap and all the nitty gritty here.
Yes. If you are admitted to hospital you will have to pay an excess. The most you will have to pay in excess per year is:
- Single $750 per year
- Couple $1500 per policy per year (if more than one person is hospitalised).
Under Frank’s Freedom Starter Flexi-Bundle (Basic), you’ll only be covered for a private room in a participating private hospital for injuries resulting from an accident.
For public hospitals, Frank will pay minimum benefits for a shared room only for the services included under your cover.
Always get written financial consent for any hospital admission.
With Freedom Starter Flexi-Bundle (Basic), regardless of your provider, you get the same amount back per visit, up to your annual limits. See your fact sheet below for a list of benefits per service.

Yes. Frank believes in freedom of choice, so we pay the same benefits to any registered provider. This means you can use your regular dentist or physio and still claim.
Yes, on most services you will have to serve a waiting period if you’re new to health insurance. With Frank (and most health insurers) you have to wait a specific amount of time between signing up and making your first claim.
The Freedom Starter Flexi-Bundle (Basic) has the following waiting periods:
- 0 days for hospital treatment as a result of an accident (accident must occur after joining) or for emergency ambulance transport
- 2 months for psychiatric, rehabilitation and palliative care
- 2 months for included extras

The good news is that waiting periods may not apply if you’re coming to Frank from another fund. Find out more about switching to Frank here.
