What is Silver Cover?

Silver Cover is the second-highest tier of Private Hospital Cover. And if you happen to be a silver fox, a silver medallist, or born with a silver spoon in your mouth, it’s also aligned with your personal brand.

What are the different Health Insurance tiers?

Who is Silver Cover suitable for?

Middle-aged folks planning for the future

Silver Cover is a strategic ally if you’re in that middle-aged groove and thinking about potential future health issues. Whether it’s back issues, potential heart concerns, or just wanting an insurance sidekick for whatever life throws at you, Silver could have the coverage you’re looking for.

People who want extensive coverage minus birth-related perks

If you’re after coverage that’s like an all-you-can-eat buffet for health services, but without the baby-making additions, Silver is pretty close. It throws in a wide range of treatments, making sure you’re covered for a bunch of health scenarios.

People with specific health conditions

If your heart has a history of playing tricks on you, Silver Cover steps up. Heart attacks, heart failure, you name it.

Silver Cover: get the facts

What’s included in Silver Cover?

In a Silver Policy, you get the same hospital treatments you’d find in the Basic and Bronze deals. But you’re also getting coverage for extra therapies without any restrictions, like matters of the heart, lungs, blood, your back and spine, some plastic and reconstructive surgery that’s medically necessary, dental surgery, podiatric surgery, and even getting your hearing devices implanted.

How much does Silver Cover cost?

This can depend on a number of things like your age, location and income, but as a ballpark, starter Silver Policies generally come in at $30 per week or a little less for a single person. You’ll also see plenty of Silver Plus Policies out there. These policies have all the required benefits of a Silver Policy, along with some additional hospital treatments added into the mix.  As a result, they tend to cost a little extra – you might find them starting out at similar prices to the regular Silver Policies and ranging up to almost $42 per week.
