Loyalty benefit applies to Corrective Laser Eye Surgery and Hearing Aids after 10 years of continuous cover. Enjoy fast, easy claiming via our app, or simply swipe your membership card at the provider.

Our unique Rollover Benefit lets you rollover unclaimed annual maximums from one calendar year to the next on the majority of Extras services, except major dental which requires 2 years of membership. For example, if you go a year without claiming Optical benefits (such as new prescription glasses and/or contact lenses) your $350 Annual Maximum turns into a Rollover Maximum of $700 the following calendar year. Waiting periods and conditions apply.

Example benefits are what the policy pays for that item at a provider without a special arrangement with the insurer; a percentage is of the fee charged. The typical policy is the middle one of the 708 extras policies on the market that aren't sold only through employers.
