Skip the waiting period on selected Extras

Why does Health Partners offer promotions to skip the waiting period?

As a not-for-profit health fund that has been providing quality health insurance to South Australians for over 80 years, we're committed to putting members first and providing the best possible health insurance options.

These promotions are designed to help new customers get the most out of their health insurance policy right away. By allowing customers to claim on extras immediately, we're helping them access the treatments they need without having to wait.

It's important to note that these promotions are usually only available for a limited time, and may be subject to certain terms, conditions and exclusions. For example, the promotion may only be available to new members who join online or over the phone, and may not be available to members who join through a broker or intermediary.

In addition, the promotion may only apply to certain types of extras, and may not apply to all services covered under the policy. For example, the promotion may only apply to general dental services, but excludes dental extractions. Services with a 12 month waiting period such as Major Dental and Orthodontics are also excluded from the promotion.

How can you take advantage of Health Partners' promotions to skip the waiting period?

If you're interested in taking advantage of a promotion to waive the waiting periods on extras, there are a few things you need to do.

1. Check for current promotions: First, you need to check to see if there are any promotions currently available. This can be done by visiting the Health Partners website or contacting us directly.
2. Eligibility requirements: It’s important to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the promotion you’re interested in. These requirements can vary depending on the specific promotion, but they typically include criteria such as holding a specific type of policy (e.g., Hospital and Extras cover) or being a new member. Make sure to carefully review the terms and conditions associated with the promotion to confirm that you qualify. If you’re unsure about your eligibility, contacting us directly.
3. Sign up for a policy: Once you have found a promotion that interests you, you will need to sign up for a health insurance policy with Health Partners, usually with Hospital and Extras cover. This can be done online or over the phone.
4. Start claiming on extras: Once you have signed up for a policy, you will be able to start claiming on selected extras immediately after the first Premium Payment has been received, without having to wait for the standard 2-month waiting period (excludes dental extractions).

It's important to note that these promotions are usually only available to new customers who have not held cover within the last 12 months. If you are an existing customer, you may not be able to take advantage of these promotions.

In conclusion, we offer promotions from time to time that allow new customers to skip most of the 2-month waiting period on extras. These promotions can be a great way for new customers to get the most out of their health insurance policy right away. If you're interested in taking advantage of these promotions, be sure to check the Health Partners website for more information or contact them directly on 1300 113 113 to see what is currently available and if you are eligible.
