Find out how the claims process works for rapid and pain-free claims handling.
When a health insurance benefit is "unlimited" it means that the benefit can be used as many times as you need without any specific annual limits.
The only conditions are that the claim or consultation is medically necessary.
Unlimited benefits are usually managed. This means that pre-authorisation is needed after a certain number of times that the benefit is used to ensure that it is you utilising the benefit and that you are getting the proper care that you deserve. You can find more details on the Network page.
The waiting period on the GP Benefit is 1 month.
This means that after the first month of your policy's inception, you can use the benefit and visit a network doctor.
The Network page has all the information needed to find a provider on the network. There is an online search tool available to look up providers in your region.
