Your extras explained

General and Preventative Dental includes a wide range of common dental procedures including check-ups, x-rays, cleaning, fluoride treatments, fillings and simple teeth extractions. There are limits to the number of General and Preventative Dental treatments that you may claim for in a calendar year.
 
Preventative Dental service limits include one comprehensive oral examination and two periodic dental examinations, per person, per calendar year.

No Gap Dental benefit is available on eligible preventative dental services if you have served the two-month waiting period and use a smile.com.au dentist.
 
Please note that any benefits AIA Health pays towards No Gap Dental will count towards your Preventative and General Dental limits.
 
This benefit is limited to one service per treatment group per calendar year for each person listed on the policy. Eligible No Gap Dental item numbers for each treatment group are listed with your policy details. For Further details refer to your provided member guide and fund rules or call us on 1800 333 004

Frequently Asked Questions to do with AIA’s Extras Cover

Please consult the provided Member Guide and Extras Fact Sheets for the most up-to-date product details before purchasing.

As our primary method of communication is email, it is important that your contact details are kept up to date with your current email address to ensure you’re able to receive any correspondence.

Benefits will only be payable by AIA for services performed by any practitioner in a private practice who is appropriately registered with bodies recognised by AIA Health, where there is no Medicare benefit payable.
 
Note: A Recognised Provider may be de-recognised with AIA Health in certain circumstances in accordance with our Fund Rules - so it’s important to check they are still recognised by AIA Health. Your provider can confirm they are recognised or you can call us on 1800 943 010.

Waiting periods are the period of time during which you are not entitled to the benefits of your policy. Waiting periods can apply when changing your cover to include new or upgraded services. If you’re switching to AIA Health from another equivalent policy, you won’t need to re-serve waiting periods already served with the previous health insurer. Refer to your Member Guide for more information and details about waiting periods and how they work.

Benefit replacement period is the time you need to wait after purchasing an item covered by us before you can receive further benefits to replace the item.
 
Note: Benefit replacement periods are separate to waiting periods. All medically prescribed appliances and hearing aids have a benefit replacement period of three years for purchasing or replacing the same item.

  • Per Person Limit
    • Each person on your AIA Health cover can claim up to the per person limit within a calendar year. You may not be able to fully receive a per person limit if family limits have already been reached on the cover or you have reached your lifetime limit.
  • Family Limit
    • A family limit is the total amount that can be claimed by all members on your AIA Health cover within a calendar year. Family limits will also be subject to specified per person limits.
  • Annual Limit
    • Annual limits are the maximum amount of benefits AIA Health will pay towards services and/or items included on your cover per calendar year. Annual limits can be subject to per person, sub-limits, family limits, and lifetime limits. If you have claimed benefits with a previous insurer in a calendar year, these will be taken into account by AIA Health when applying limits for the first membership year.
  • Lifetime Limit
    • A lifetime limit is an individual limit that is the total benefit you can receive for an item or service over the lifetime of your policy. When you reach this limit, you can no longer claim that benefit again, even if you change your cover with AIA Health or move to another health insurer on a similar cover type (unless your new cover with AIA Health or another health insurer has a higher lifetime limit for that item or service).
  • Policy Limit
    • A policy limit is the total amount that can be claimed by all members on your AIA Health cover within a calendar year. Policy limits will also be subject to specified per person limits.
  • Flexi Limit
    • A Flexi limit is the total annual benefit amount that you can claim, as you choose, on any included service under your policy. Specified Flexi limits are per person, per calendar year. Some extras services may be subject to sub-limits.
      If you have claimed benefits with a previous insurer in a calendar year, these will be taken into account by AIA Health when applying limits for the first membership year.
  • Loyalty Benefit Limit
    • Flexi Extras come with loyalty benefits that reward you the longer you hold your cover. Your annual Flexi Limit will increase by $100 for each consecutive year served on a Flexi Extras product, up to 5 years. Limits will increase each year on your policy start date.
  • Initial Consultation
    • The maximum amount of benefits you will receive from AIA Health for the initial service received. You may not be able to fully receive an initial benefit amount if per person, sub-limits, family or annual limits have been reached.
  • Subsequent Consultation
    • The maximum amount of benefits you will receive from AIA Health for a subsequent service received. You may not be able to fully receive a subsequent benefit amount if per person, sub-limits, family or annual limits have been reached.

Choose the right cover

When considering a private health insurance policy, you should review your current and future medical needs, budget, and healthcare priorities. Having a good understanding of these will help you decide if a cover is appropriate for your personal circumstances.
 
Before selecting a Extras Policy, you should review:
  • What services are covered
  • What waiting periods apply
  • What exclusions apply
  • What benefit limits apply on Extras cover
