But the waiting periods for most elective surgery is below a month anyway. I'd want a month before any procesdues so I can get my life in order to have that time off for recuperation. Esp if you're on casual you'll need time to save some money to live on first. https://www.myhospitals.gov.au/hospital/810000082/the-canberra-hospital/waiting-times-elective-surgery-specialty-of-surgeon

Millennials aren’t buying healthcare *big graph showing it disproportionately benefits older people* *also millennials aren’t earning enough to worry about the Medicare levy* Definitely the millennial’s fault and not the system. Nope. No problem with the system. Working as intended. My wife works in public health and I’ll never go private. Seems like a total load of horseshit. Re: ambulance chat. For a single in Victoria it’s $46 per annum. Pretty cheap insurance against a possible $1000+ bill.

We've got private health insurance and it has helped with having the babies, once we were in hospital everything was free, which included an extended stay for SMG as she had low blood sugar. MrsMG also needs glasses so we get some benefit out of that, but once baby #2 is out in the world I might see if I can talk her into giving it the flick. How does the lifetime loading work if you ditch PHI after you're 30?

I get the 5 year ambulance sub each time and my health insurer gives me a full cash refund. Walk in, hand them the bill, gets cash money  I also use all my optical and dental rebates each year. I keep the lowest level of private health I feel I can get away with so that, in case of elective surgery, I can bypass the waiting lists.

MysticalMachineGun posted:How does the lifetime loading work if you ditch PHI after you're 30? I am also interested in this. I am in my late 30s and am thinking about dropping PHI. We had the highest level of coverage for the birth of my son, but we went with midwife caseload program, which was fantastic, but we couldn't use our PHI to pay for it. It was all covered free under the public system. We asked to use our PHI for the hospital stay, but they wouldn't let us. Needless to say we are at least dropping pregnancy from our cover.

MysticalMachineGun posted:How does the lifetime loading work if you ditch PHI after you're 30? I can field this one since I work in the industry. You have a period of 3 years minus a day where loading will not apply if you take the hospital cover again. You only get this once and then need to re-serve that time on the policy. After that, 2% is added every further year without hospital cover.

When was the last time a sex worker gave someone mesothelioma? Honestly, how does one even consider that an equivalent? RE health insurance chat, I’ve had a recurring medical issue that sometimes requires surgery for decades. It can be dormant for years, but then when it flares up it goes from nothing to major risk of sepsis in a couple of days. When I was in my 20’s my only public option was to wait until it got really bad and then go to emergency to have it operated on by whichever random surgeon was there, with no follow up treatment. Now that I have private, I have a choice of surgeons, I get pre- and post-op consultations and I don’t pay any more than $500/year excess. I think it is one of those things that really varies by personal circumstances and there is no one-fits-all solution (other than really really well funded public healthcare system, which is about as likely as unicorns)

Yup buy ambo membership if it is avaliable. On a trip up the top end Dad sprained his ankle ~500m into a national park near Halls Creek. A four hour ambulance ride to Kununurra later he was patched up and they drove back to melbourne in 3 days with his foot elevated on the dashboard the whole way. Vic ambo covered the costs but WA ambos sent the invoice for the records. 6000bux for the non-emergency call out and 7 hour round trip for the ambulance.

I don't know what the deal is with waiting periods. I know you can't reserve if you transfer funds with equivalent cover but I don't know if a break puts you back at day 1 waiting periods?

trunkh posted:What are the chances of industry collapse in the next 5 to 10 years you think? Unlikely, honestly without some intense government intervention and public system overhaul, incredibly unlikely but then, aging population might make it collapse. We simply don't have the public capacity for everything right now. G-Spot Run posted:I don't know what the deal is with waiting periods. I know you can't reserve if you transfer funds with equivalent cover but I don't know if a break puts you back at day 1 waiting periods? Depends how long without cover. Some are more generous than others but after 2 months, you're probably on your own without a waiver on extras. The official story for waiting periods is to make it fair for everyone. If there were no waiting periods, someone can upgrade to a policy with a knee replacement, claim 30k and drop back down.
