Horrible - not value for money!
They do show you how much you actually get back clearly. For example - optical. You only get 90% back of what you paid even you have full benefit left in your account. This 90% is not written anywhere in the product info when you join. Bupa and Medibank private will show you clearly 70%, 80% etc, but CBHS does not. Very annoying. So as the fitness when you get "health management". Again only up to 90% so there is always a nasty gap that it is not informed in advance. Not happy at all!

Very bad customer service !
Don’t bother joining ! We have been members for over 5 years and have been treated very badly by the sales team, we suspended ur membership then no one bothered to tell us that it had been cancelled! After paying for membership for 5 years you’d at least expect to get some sort of correspondence from them but no just been cancelled without hesitation! You’d expect them to keep their customers rather than just canceling them, I called and they just said we’d have to wait the 12month waiting period again after already serving the 5 years, very ...Read more
disappointed in this company I do not recommend go elsewhere. If there was zero stars I’d rate them zero rather than 1 August 23rd 2022 Update: Top Extras Very bad customer service please do not join this company, we were members for 5 years and paid fortnightly but had to suspend due to certain circumstances, then we tried to reactivate the account but were told on 3 different occasions 3 different things, 2 customer service people told us we could resume our top extras pretty much straight away as we already served the 5 years prior to suspending, then I was told by the 3 person we had to wait the 12 month waiting period, we are very disappointed as we did not receive any correspondence that we had been cancelled you’d think they’d rather keep their customers rather than just cancelling them ! I do not recommend please go elsewhere!

Disgusting, rude, arrogant, no manners and totally unhelpful
Joined this fund recently after being in dispute with another fund, based on a family recommendation. They took the membership very quickly BUT, it all went pear-shaped from then on. I contracted to pay a certain amount each fortnight - then without notice, the amount increased by about 26-28%. No reason, no contact, NOTHING. So I refused to allow the payments to be debited and since then, I have had nothing by rudeness, arrogance from CBHS, NO assistance or support what-ever and when you call to try to sort it out - they don't want to help...Read more
. I had a call this week from them to find out why I was unhappy with them, I told them exactly why which has put me on the outer. Today I received the worst customer service, I have ever received. They are a rip-off. Don't touch them. Don't join them - simply steer clear of them. They are expensive (but they quote so low to get you in) and if I could give them a minus rating, I would. Moved from one health fund to another and totally frustrated, so still known as "The Frustrated Mover"Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Avoid at all cost
Bought the visitor cover, which actually covers nothing. Provided all the documents they requested for account closure and guess what, they didn't close it at all. Direct debit charges keep coming to my bank account. Seriously, stay way from such a scam.

Good product but poor customer service
The wait times are so long just to speak to someone. At this time of the year they should be employing more staff. They are very slow on acting on completing transfer certifcates

Extremely expensive, customer service very poor and not interested in truly keeping existing customers.
Expensive and unhelpful, they constantly reminded me about my son turning 18 years old and that premiums will go up. I called them and had it sorted but they still kept texting me afterwards.

Not worth it
Didn't honour the waiting period even though one of their blogs mentioned it. When pointed they simply said it's the blog of their sister site. Customer service hard to reach. Their policy doesn't cover most things.

Cannot find better value or cover
Since 2006, i have been a longstanding member of cbhs, we are a family of five. One of our kids is special needs and she has had multiple surgeries and is in & out of hospital and drs. I have had all three kids privately with my own ob, in a private maternity hospital. All covered. Absolutely nothing to worry about!! I have made multiple claims too many to count to be honest and its very rare i need to be out of pocket.
I have done comparison’s and cannot find a better deal at all, no excess, comparible rates and the benefits of our own doctors. Something that is important to our family!

Not worth it
I have been with CBHS for nearly two years. I inquired into whether I was covered for the most minor procedure. The lady told me that the level of cover is basically just designed for people to avoid the Medicare Levy Surcharge.
I think with a premium of $190 per month for my partner and I, we should at least be covered for something!
Considering HCF under the same policy and same level of premium I would have been covered.

Very Good
The policy was easy to setup and was very good value for money. We dont pay anything out of pocket for general dental.

Doesn't cover private hospital theater while other does
I think cbhs is worth it when you first join and want to ditch the 12 months wait, otherwise it is rubbish. I purchased the basic hospital cover, which didn't cover private hospital theater, which I needed later on. My insurance specialist told me that my insurance literally covered for nothing.... With $20 extra a MONTH I could have gone with hbf which covers theater fees. This made me realise what a mistake it was to stick with CHBS. They screwed me over.
Either stay with higher cover or get out!

Terrible Service. Couldn't careless about existing customer
1. As a long term existing customer who simply pay the yearly premium with next to no claim and hardly any contact with them, makes me a great customer who is also oblivious to their lack of customer service.
2. Until I made an enquiry that I realised they couldn't care less about existing customers but would be all over you if you were a potential new customer.
3. a) Expect long wait on the phone before you get through
b) Expect to be passed from one person to another without results
c) Don't expect friendly service
