Claim medical receipts to your Private Health Fund

You may be able to claim back a portion of your medical expenses to your private health fund.




Example scenario:

Vaccine for Hepa(Engerix) comprise of 3 shots for the span of 6 months

- 1 shot cost about $26.75

- 2nd shot scheduled on the 3rd months cost $26.75

- 3rd shot scheduled on 6th months cost $26.75

$26.75 x 3 = $80.25

----

According to health fund (NIB), they can give back only in excess of 36.90(Government PBS).

$80.25 - $36.90 = $43.35 claim back from Private health fund (Not bad).




This is one of the benefits in getting a private health fund but again it probably depends on the cover you chose.
