Regardless of how great your health is, the need for Dental, Optical or Physiotherapy services could arise. Having an Extras policy can help you reduce the cost for those services not covered by Medicare. Depending of the product you select, you can claim back a set benefit amount or a percentage of the cost of your treatment on each visit, up to your annual limit.
With CUA Health Extras cover, you’re not restricted to a network of preferred providers so you can visit the healthcare provider of your choice.
