What is Silver Health Insurance?
Hospital health insurance policies in Australia are split into four main tiers – Gold, Silver, Bronze and Basic. Each tier must include cover for certain categories of medical treatment and services as a minimum.
Silver health insurance is the second highest tier of hospital product policies, behind Gold. As well as providing the same minimum levels of cover as Basic and Bronze policies, Silver policies must also include cover for eight additional medical categories:
- Heart and vascular system
- Lungs and chest
- Blood
- Back, neck and spine
- Plastic and reconstructive surgery (medically necessary)
- Dental surgery
- Podiatric surgery
- Implantation of hearing devices
For the full 29 clinical categories covered under Silver health insurance, see the FAQ section below.
Insurers can also offer ‘Plus’ policies if they so choose – Silver Plus – which include extra coverage on top of the minimum requirements.
