My daughter, who is 24 and returned from several years overseas, is asking about private health insurance. She hasn't been covered under our private insurance insurance since she turned 21.
She dislocated her shoulder while overseas, and will need surgery. Private insurance will cover after 12 months.
She needs dental work and orthodontics. Extras insurance will cover just a portion.
At one stage it was the case that public patients could get completely free treatment in a hospital, but private patients had to pay. Is that still the case? Is it worth while having private insurance at all?
She is at home at the moment and not working. She's not on Centrelink payments. Private insurance with extras would cost just under $100 pm.
