If you do not have private hospital cover before the 1st of July following your 31st birthday, you will incur a 2% loading every year you don’t have cover.
LHC was introduced specifically for people aged over 31. If you do not have private hospital cover by this point, you will incur a 2% loading every year you don’t have cover. This is added to the cost of your insurance and increases each year until it reaches a maximum of 70%!
Our iSelect team can review your cover, and potentially reduce your Lifetime Health Cover Loading burden with a better value policy.
