  • Probably one of their best ones yet, 8 weeks is 2 more than the usual deal from most PHIs.

    • +2

      The additional 2 weeks is after you hold the policy for 14 consecutive months. So it's really 6 weeks free for any respectable Ozbargainer.

      • Lol yeah you're right, they've just changed the subject wording but it's the same deals as before. Guess I got too excited.

  • Excludes AHM (part of medibank) members?

  • +1

    Is switching from AHM to Medibank eligible for this offer?

    • +1

      AHM excluded by the looks of the T&Cs

      • Didn’t see anywhere mentioned AHM only medibank

        • "€ For new members on new memberships who join and start eligible combined Bronze Hospital and Extras cover or above from 23 September 2025 – 15 December 2025 11:59pm AET and who have not held Medibank health cover in previous 60 days (unless they are dependents coming off their parent’s cover). Must quote promo code ‘8WEEKSPLUS’ and set up direct debit when joining. Must have Australian Residency. Excludes Hospital only cover, Extras only cover, Basic covers, Corporate covers, Accident Cover, Ambulance Cover, Overseas Visitors Cover (OVC), Overseas Students Health Cover (OSHC), Overseas Workers Health cover, Travel Insurance, Pet Insurance, Funeral Insurance, Life Insurance & Income Protection, ahm covers and all corporate covers. Not available with any other offer. Medibank may end this offer or amend these offer terms and conditions at any time without notice. Medibank employees are not eligible for this offer."

          I'm assuming the ahm covers is referring to AHM, unless it's an acronym for something else.

          • @containsmsg: Damn, looks like it. I want to jump off AHM.

          • @containsmsg: That part is ineligible if you join AHM covers so switching from AHM is eligible based on the first term who have not held Medibank health cover in previous 60 days (unless they are dependents coming off their parent’s cover).

          • @containsmsg:

            who have not held Medibank health cover in previous 60 days

            Sweet, works out perfectly then signing up to Bupa in a couple of days from Medibank for their 6 weeks free after 28 days for hospital cover only, then once that's run out will jump back to Medibank with this offer 👍

  • I'm relatively new to the Health Insurance game and I just wanted to make sure I'm understanding this hypothetical correctly.

    If I join a Bronze hospital + extras policy in mid-November, do the extras limits (like optical) reset on 1 January? If so, could I claim in Nov/Dec and again in Jan, then cancel at the end of the 6 free weeks - essentially getting two sets of extras for only about 6 weeks of paid cover, plus my share for whatever extras I used? Is there anything stopping me from doing this across all extras, and are there any repercussions for cancelling after the free period?

    • +1

      Yes your understanding is correct. No repercussions

  • What can you get with 50,000 Live Better points?

    • $500 gift card or $400 off premium

      • They only let you buy max $200 off premiums. At least that’s what it was last time I tried.

      • The gift cards arent the best either.
        The Iconic would be the best one and they only allow you to take one per year per domination
