OSHCstudents – OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) normally covers most of your medical costs however, you may be out of pocket for items such as vaccinations, pathology testing, and other services like physio, psychology, or podiatry. You may receive some rebate but it’s best to check with your OSHC provider about your coverage.
The coverage provided by OSHC can vary depending on the insurance provider and the specific policy you have. OSHC generally covers the following:
– Hospital expenses: This includes coverage for hospital accommodation and treatment when you are admitted to a hospital.
– Medical expenses: OSHC usually covers medical services provided by doctors and specialists (GP), including outpatient services.
– Prescription medications: The cost of prescription medications can also be partially covered by OSHC.
– Emergency ambulance services: OSHC policies often include coverage for emergency ambulance services.
Vaccinations may or may not be covered by your OSHC policy, depending on the specific terms and conditions of your insurance provider and policy. It’s essential to review your policy documentation or contact your OSHC provider to confirm whether vaccinations are included in your coverage.
Some diseases listed in the government-funded program will be covered. Before getting any vaccinations, you need to call to check with your doctor or OSHC providers for advice.
