Navigating private health insurance

Are your patients confused about their private health insurance policies? Do they understand what rebate they should expect on their optical appliances? Are they just looking for a ‘better deal’?

Understanding optical extras cover is not always easy and finding the right cover is not always straightforward.

A series of handy resources have been developed to help you help your patients navigate the complexities of their cover. The resources can also aid them in finding out what cover they need or what the best product is to best meet their eye health needs.
