Medibank Private Review

Medibank Private the largest provider of private health insurance in Australia. Medibank is the only real “national” insurance company, covering almost three million Australians and over one hundred fifty thousand visitors. The company’s focus is to respect all their customers, act with honesty and integrity, and to find innovative ways to get people the services they need.

Medibank Private has different levels of coverage, and your coverage needs will vary based on your age and medical history. This company offers basic plans, as well as those with full dental and optical coverage. One good thing about Medibank Private is that it has a large provider network, with doctors all over Australia.

If you are visiting Australia and you need a visa, one condition of getting that visa is that you have adequate health cover. Medibank Private covers visitors, unlike Australia’s Medicare system which is for residents only. With Medibank’s cover, visitors have access to advice and assistance 24 hours a day, along with other features:

*Doctor referrals and assistance in making appointments
*Access to a solicitor that provides general legal advice and referrals
*By-phone assistance in replacing lost travel documentation
*Foreign language (Japanese, Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai, Korean, with others upon request) interpretation.

Whether you are a resident of Australia with a need for cover above and beyond what Medicare provides, or a visitor looking for temporary cover, Medibank Private offers good coverage at a competitive price.
