Peoplecare answers your COVID health cover questions May 14th, 2020
Why have health cover during this time?
Health cover is just as important as ever. As COVID-19 restrictions continue to ease, both hospital and extras covers are returning to full use.
It’s also likely that the public and private hospitals will be catching up with delayed surgeries, which means that having private cover will give members more healthcare options outside the public system.
What’s the main reason to keep your cover?
It’s important to maintain your cover as many elective surgeries are being rescheduled and many extras providers are still open and operating.
The main takeaway is that you don’t want to have to re-serve any waiting periods for your hospital or extras cover if you let your cover drop.
How Peoplecare is responding to COVID-19
- We’re still covering our members in both public and private hospitals for many elective and emergency surgeries going ahead according to Government advice.
- We’re continuing to offer our full range of services and benefits for members and have extended our coverage to include:
- Telehealth and video consults for Extras cover (psychology, physio, occupational therapy, speech therapy and dietetics)
- Telephone based health programs on all our hospital covers
- Hospital in the Home and Rehab in the Home on all our hospital covers
- Health info on our website
Can I still get dental treatment?
Yes, some dental treatments are still going ahead. We expect more restrictions to ease in the near future. For more info, contact your dentist.
What’s next?
May 11 is the key date. The government will meet again to discuss easing COVID-19 restrictions. We hope your health services and regular sport can return closer to normal soon.
