It has been worth it! 2 years so far - TOP HOSPITAL TOP EXTRAS

published

My partner has undergone surgery, no complications. Just had to pay for the Excess which is to be expected. We have claimed online via & via hi-caps terminal the app for our massage, physiotherapy, dental, orthodontics and podiatry with no problems. Always receive the reimbursement within two weeks of submission. The only thing I have to claim manually was our bill for the exercise physiologist. The only thing I do not like about the extras cover for Pharmacy -Can not claim anything that is under $50.00 - I found the pharmacy part in your extras and a waste and not useful. Even if you have a product you purchased for $60.00 the reimbursement is under $10.00 not much at all. Other then that Medibank has been good.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for submitting your lovely review. Concerning pharmacy, if the item is over the PBS co-payment of $41.00 then benefits can be payable. If there is anything we can do to help, please don't hesitate to let us know. - Joshua

Poor service when it mattered

published

Been with Medibank for over 20 years. A consultant recommended we switch our policy to ensure a better return based on changed circumstances. They didn’t listen and cost us thousands.

Very bad service

published

Lodging claims are not easy, some claims you have to print a form and post it- there is no online option. Customer service staff have poor product knowledge to give any advice.

Dysfunctional to the core

published

Good luck to anyone who wants to call in and figure out whether a particular procedure is covered by their health plan before they actually have it done. Medibank refuses to provide any information on coverage unless you, the consumer, furnish a Medicare item number whilst doctors, quite rightly, refuse to provide you with one until they've been able to assess what you actually need. Totally useless customer service experience, and total crapshoot what you're actually going to be able to claim back

Very poor humanity and compassion

published

A one star for being disgusting humans and increasing the premium at the time when people are losing their jobs homes and lives! But there's not much anyone can do about it definitely not the regulators! Thank you for adding to the suffering. This is a very objective point of view.

Price increase

published

Why have I just received a statement with the price increase on our policy when Medibank said they were freezing it. Not happy at all, we have been with Medibank for over 20 years but feel like moving to another insurance company that offers a Better deal

THE most INCOMPETENT medical insurance company

published

I have received 2 wildly varying invoices for my policy renewal. When I go online to see what I really owe, the price is even higher. This has to be the most incompetent medical insurance company. I would not recommend Medibank under any circumstances.

Good experience

published

Surprised to see so many negative comments here, never claimed anything super major but so far pretty good with a day surgery in a private hospital and fully covered apart from the gap fee.
Never had problem calling for inquiries, not sure if this is because I’m with the corporate platinum cover? Anyway.. thanks to the team with their excellent customer service.

Worst company to deal with

Worst company to deal with. They gave me constant attitude over the phone. Does not care about the customer. Absolute worst. Stay away. Please. NIB is much better to deal with. I have since cancelled.

My claims often get declined for no reason!

published

More often than i would want to, i try to use my Madibank card and it gets declined. So, multiple times, i have to pay for everything off my pocket, then get in contact with them over the phone. to then finally get reimbursed. Always such an unnecessary, lengthy and embarrassing process, as . I'm really tired of it.

Don't be fooled by Medibank's promises,

published

Don't be fooled by Medibank's promises, they are only interested in their KPI's and member's payments. Hard and completive times for health insurers. They are playing dirty and want your money. They will not act in your best interest and would rather see you in crisis than reasonably help you with a temporary suspension of your payments. My daughter under mental medical health and they ask her to pay back $ 2300 because she could Int’l provide the receipt from year 2017 and I am let everyone in word what Medibank provider do to my daughter

Terrible customer care and misleading information

published

I am highly alerting for overseas students not to buy any type of health covers from medibank. They will change their policies after few weeks of purchasing. Also really disgusting customer service where even they don't have proper internal communication between them. Lost more than 1k because of the misleading information provided by their staff. After complaining they refer the case to a case manager who seems to be having worst attitudes plus bad ironical behavior.

My husband has throat cancer. We can have the operation immediately if we pay the specialist $5000. Could we get any kind of medicare rebate on the amount as we are both elderly but in otherwise good health. My husband is in pain and the waiting list has lengthened due to the corona virus.

Hi Anna, thank you for your message. The surgical team at John Hunter Hospital at Newcastle has taken care of my husband and he is down for surgery next Friday and it will be fully funded by Medicare. The relief for both of us has been dramatic. Hilda

Why do medibank doesn't have claims via email? It is always not possible for us to go to stores or post at this stage and submit our claims. It would help customers if you have some generic email to submit claims which other insurance companies offer like BUPA?
