Which Private Health Fund?

[Pandora]

We are with Australian unity. We have non-obstetric hospital and super extras and pay $275 a month

When i had OBS cover, it was comprehensive hospital and comprehensive extras and cost $230 a month

I mainly went with them for their orthodontic cover as my parents spent a LOT of money getting my teeth fixed.

If i had access to restricted membership funds I would join defence health or CBHS.

Curly -- what education fund gives you a discount on AU? Can anyone join?

haleyscomet - how much do you par per month with HCF?

We are with HCF also - one big reason being they pay out a better % for my obs than a lot of other funds, and also because they have a no gap dental and optical program - which means that everyone on our plan can go to the dentist every 6 months and pay nothing! I went a few weeks ago, it was supposed to be $260, and i was only OOP $9 (they had to do an extra x-ray, hence the charge).

Might look into AHM though, as i've always wanted laser eye surgery also.

Australian Scholarships Group (ASG) and it involves putting away a bit of money every month for high school (and uni if you want) and it gets special tax breaks, anyone can join. Haven't signed up with AU yet, it's on my "to do" list!
