  • Extras - I don't have these in my current policy with Bupa.

    I wander if many people get the "extras" with their health insurance policy.

    If you do:
    Do you find they are worth the higher premium?

      Lots of people get extras - The maths can be pretty simple if you get a number of the extras and make the most of your limits. Things like dental/optical are common, and acupuncture/remedial massage/chiro/major dental/pregnancy related extras are also options.

      The general maths is the same of any other insurance: Are the costs (or risk of costs) higher to me if I have the insurance or if I don't.

      ** Side note: My partner and I don't have extras cover currently. Looked into it quite a lot about 2 years ago, but at the moment isn't valuable to us as we have minimal health expenses.

    • I don't think they normally are unless you actually have high ongoing health expenses (not if you're just increasing your health expenses to consume your benefits).

      That said, it's easy to take advantage of if you have waiting periods waived - sign up, consume the stuff that you do need (dental for everyone, optical for many) and then drop the extras cover. Rinse and repeat next year with a new provider.

  • What is the minimum I have to pay to not pay the government more money @ tax time.

    • Still quite a lot, but you have to be earning $90k after employer paid super single ($100k package) or $180k family ($200k package) before that hits, so for most people it's a non issue.

  • i believe this is nib?
