What health insurance options are available?

ahm Health Insurance offers hospital, extras and packaged policies. Select from the three categories below to learn more about the different cover options.

  • Top Hospital. Made for those who want complete peace of mind, this policy covers all hospital treatments that Medicare pays a benefit for, as well as specialised services including pregnancy, labour ward fees, reproductive services, sterility reversal and weight loss surgery.
  • White Deluxe. A good choice if you are looking for a comprehensive policy without pregnancy. It covers all the services included in Top Hospital except for obstetrics, reproductive services and weight loss surgery, which are excluded. A partial benefit also applies to psychiatric services.
  • White Classic. An intermediate policy that covers a wide range of hospital services including cancer treatment, heart procedures, brain surgery, joint reconstruction and more. Specialised treatments such as dialysis, spinal fusion, pregnancy and major eye surgery are excluded.
  • White Boost. This policy allows you to claim for a number of hospital treatments including surgery to remove wisdom teeth, joint reconstruction, colonoscopies and tonsil removal. Pregnancy, psychology, palliative care and rehabilitation are partially covered.
  • White Lite. Designed for the budget-conscious, this policy covers essential hospital services including injury relating to accidents, emergency ambulance transport, tonsil removal and more. Be aware that a large number of treatments are excluded from this policy.
  • White Starter. If you are young, healthy and wanting to avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge, this policy is a solid option. It provides full cover for accident treatment and emergency ambulance as well as partial cover for rehabilitation, palliative care and psychiatric services.
  • Super Extras. A premium extras policy that covers you for 28 services including major dental, orthodontics, optical and pharmacy prescriptions. Super Extras also boasts the highest annual benefit limits and no limit is applied to routine dental.
  • Black 70 Plus. Be it routine, complex or major dental, physio or natural therapies, chiropractic and podiatry treatments, plus a range of health improvement options, this policy will get you back up to 70% on everything you'll need for your head to your toes.
  • Family Extras. This policy covers a range of out-of-hospital treatments including pre and postnatal services and birthing courses. While annual benefit limits are not as high as Super Extras, they are still generous and waiting periods are waived for common services your children may need, such as routine dental and optical.
  • Lifestyle Extras. Focusing on the wellbeing of the body and the mind, this extras policy covers up to 17 alternative and complementary therapies including acupuncture, naturopathy and herbalism. Other services are not neglected either, as you are also covered for major dental, optical, laser eye surgery and more.
  • Black 70. A generous policy that includes up to 70% back on your included extras, such as dental, remedial massage and physio therapies. What's more, it provides 100% back on optical frames, prescription and contact lenses, as well as no gap dental check-ups.
  • Black 60. Covering you for a range of essential extras services without breaking the bank, this policy pays up to 60% towards the cost of treatments including major dental, physiotherapy and remedial massage. Optical and emergency ambulance transport costs are fully covered. Annual benefit limits are shared between certain services.
  • Black 50 Saver. An inexpensive entry-level policy that covers 50% of the costs relating to routine dental, physiotherapy, chiropractic and osteopathic care. Emergency ambulance transport is also included and fully covered. Annual benefit limits are shared between certain services.
  • Deluxe Flexi. Combining all the services included in White Deluxe plus a generous amount of extras, this policy ensures that you are fully covered both inside and outside of hospital. Be aware that psychiatric care has a partial benefit applied, while obstetrics, reproductive services and weight loss surgery are excluded.
  • Classic Flexi. A solid option if you are looking for a comprehensive combined policy without the additional cost of insuring for specialised services. The hospital cover is identical to White Classic with the same exclusions and restrictions. All the extras services covered by Deluxe Flexi are also included with the exception of major dental.
  • Boost Flexi. The middle ground option between the comprehensive and budget packages, Boost Flexi provides the same level of hospital cover as the White Boost policy while including a large number of extras services such as routine and complex dental, optical, physiotherapy, natural therapies, prescription medications and more.
  • Lite Flexi. Affordable without compromising on protection, this policy includes all the hospital services covered by White Lite along with a range of extras. Rehabilitation, palliative care and psychiatric care are partially covered, while major dental, podiatry, orthotics and natural therapies are excluded.
  • Starter Flexi. Suitable for those who only require the bare essentials, this policy covers you for vital hospital services and general treatments that are not eligible for a Medicare benefit (such as dental) and it allows the policyholder to avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge and the Lifetime Health Cover loading.

  • You might like if - You’re looking for a combined extras limit where all your extras are bundled into one total allowance.
  • You might not like if - You use a wide range of extras, as your dental x-rays and fillings could eat into your physio limit.

Top pick for dental

Ahm have a deal with a number of dentists to offer you 100% back on dental check-ups.

No gap dental treatments:

  • Examination
  • Clean and polish or scale and clean
  • Fluoride treatment

Not included in no gap dental, but covered under routine dental

  • X-rays
  • Tooth Extractions
  • Fillings

If you’re looking for dental only, it’s worth looking at the Super Extras option. It’s more expensive but is one of very few policies to offer no waiting periods, and no annual limits on general dental. General dental includes check-ups, minor extractions, x-rays, fillings, and teeth cleaning.

Top pick for optical

With ahm, the standard optical limit is $200 per year, and it’s included in a few extras policies - because the limits reset every year and your eye test is covered by Medicare, a new pair of specs every 12 months is a great way to get value from your cover.

Extras that include optical also have limits for dental and physio.

Top pick for saving on tax

If you’re earning over $90k, and don’t have hospital cover - you will get slugged with a big charge come tax time. You can avoid this by taking out a basic policy that covers you for ambulances should you ever find yourself in an accident. It will actually save you on your taxes and the yearly cost of the policy is less than the tax charge.

    Wow we are being hit with a 19% premium increase from $906.65 to $1077.9 per quarter by AHM! And from the 31st of May our current Mid-Life cover policy is being closed by AHM and we are being moved to a new black+white policy for the same premium of $1077.9 premium but the new policy covers less items as the old one!

      Richard I am aware of the premium increase page with nowhere does it mention a 19% premium increase;

      https://www.finder.com.au/health-insurance-premium-increase-2016

      I asked a question. Why did our premium increase from $906.65 to $1077.9 per quarter, or 19% by AHM! Also why from the 31st of May will our current Mid-Life cover policy be closed by AHM and we are being moved to a new black+white policy for the same premium of $1077.9 premium but this new policy covers less items as the old one! Why have we been told if we won’t the same policy items as our current Mid-Life policy have we been told we will have to pay even more than the new premium of $1077.99?
