There are a lot of misconceptions out there about how our healthcare systems work, so it’s understandable if it’s a little confusing sometimes. We’ll take you through how to take full advantage of Australia’s health services by learning about just two things: Medicare and private health insurance. The big question: What’s the difference between Medicare and private health insurance? There are some significant differences between public and private health in Australia. Where you’re treated, who treats you and how quickly you receive care for non-life-threatening issues often depends on whether you go through Medicare or private health insurance. Medicare is a public healthcare program run by the Australian Government. Established in 1984, its primary goal is to give Australian residents free or low-cost medical services and hospital care. Medicare covers a majority of health care costs for hospital, medical and pharmaceutical expenses and entitles you to be treated publicly in a public hospital for treatments listed on the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS). However, you don’t get to choose when or where you’re treated and who performs your procedure. Those with private health insurance can still elect to use the public health system for treatment; however, they also have the added option to go privately. This means they can seek treatment without incurring significant out-of-pocket fees (compared to what those without private health insurance would have to pay if they were treated in a private hospital). This additional flexibility comes at the cost of ongoing premium payments. Private healthcare also gives you a say in who you’re treated by and the option of having your own private room where available. You can usually avoid lengthy waiting periods and generally have more say in your treatment with private hospital insurance. There are also some health services and costs that aren’t covered by Medicare (such as physiotherapy and certain optometry services) that your health insurance policy may cover. There are three types of policies you can take out through the private health system, either individually or together through a combined cover policy. These options are: Hospital cover : Handles the hospital costs for treatment you receive as an inpatient at hospital. : Handles the hospital costs for treatment you receive as an inpatient at hospital. Extras cover : (also known as ancillary or general treatment): Covers out-of-hospital treatments that aren’t included in Medicare, such as physiotherapy, dental, optical and more. : (also known as ancillary or general treatment): Covers out-of-hospital treatments that aren’t included in Medicare, such as physiotherapy, dental, optical and more. Ambulance cover: Pays for ambulance costs in some states and territories. What does private health insurance cover that Medicare doesn’t? While Australia’s healthcare system is one of the best in the world1, Medicare doesn’t cover all treatments, and you’re often subject to lengthy hospital wait times. This is where private health insurance may be beneficial. The table below details some medical costs Medicare will and won’t cover. Depending on the private health policy you take out, your insurer may cover all or part of the cost for services Medicare doesn’t pay for. Expenses Medicare covers What private health covers (depending on your policy) Consultation fees for certain doctors and specialist services (e.g. X-rays and pathology tests)
