Pros

Affordable premiums – its annual premium rate increases have been lower than the industry average for 14 of the past 20 years.
Good for extras options. You can get cover for the basics like dental and physio as well more comprehensive options.

Cons

Latrobe didn't do great in the most recent complaints data. They had the 26th worst ratio of complaints to market share out of 29 funds.
Beware if you're looking for an extras policy that pays a percentage of your treatment costs. Latrobe's extras policies offer set limits for most treatments.

Extras icon

Extras coverage

Latrobe Health Services offers seven different extras policies you can purchase as a standalone policy:

- Basic Extras. This is a basic policy that covers general dental, major dental, a few therapies and pharmacy. It offers mainly set limits, meaning you'll get a rebate equal to a specific amount rather than a percentage of the overall cost, regardless of how much the service costs. These limits are quite small e.g $500 for dental and $250 chiro, physio and podiatry.
- Core Families Extras. This covers general dental, optical, exercise physiology, antenatal and postnatal classes, acupuncture, myotherapy, osteopathy, psychology, chiropractic and massage (with a registered provider).
- Core Essential Extras. This is similar to Core Families but comes with a dietician and doesn't cover speech therapies, antenatal and postnatal classes or air compressor pumps.
- Core Complete Extras. This covers quite a lot, including general dental, major dental, orthodontics, a range of therapies, pharmacy, dietician, acupuncture, optical, visiting nurses, health screenings and more.
- Premier Family Extras. Top extras cover tailored to families meaning you get antenatal and postnatal classes, pregnancy compression garments as well as important services like dental and optical.
- Premier Singles and Couples. Comprehensive extras cover but excludes pregnancy and family related services so you're not paying for something you don't need.

Latrobe health insurance complaints

We looked at the most recent Ombudsman health insurance complaints data. Latrobe ranked 26th out of 29 health funds, which isn't great. While it did receive a smaller share of complaints than its market share, which is a good thing, the averages this year were blown out by a massive spike in complaints against Defence Health.
