An important notice regarding health fund wait periods for psychiatric services

Waiting period exemption for psychiatric care benefits:

The Federal Government’s private health insurance reforms now allows eligible consumers an instant policy upgrade to cover a private psychiatric hospital admission without serving a waiting period*. The changes, which make it easier for policy holders to access mental health services when they need it, came into effect on 1 April 2018. More information can be found here.

*The waiting period does not apply to upgrades where consumers have already served their 2 month waiting period on lower cover policies.
