What should you know when purchasing OVHC for senior over 70?

OSHCstudents-Why shouldn’t you keep traveling the world as you get older? Indeed, data highlights that the number of people aged over 70 holidaying overseas has jumped more than 80% in the last five years. Seniors in Australia have increasingly been traveling to ” bucket list destinations”, where age doesn’t act as a barrier against adventure!

While you may be a travel enthusiast, you may have also found that some travel insurance products have an upper age limit of 70 and that they will not cover many pre-existing medical conditions.

If you visit Australia and want to buy OVHC, you have a variety of choices for insurance providers. However, if you are over 70, only Allianz and Medibank offer you the OVHC policies. Please take note that Medibank will not offer OVHC for the 8501 visa condition, while Allianz offers OVHC for all types of conditions.

If you are over 70 and your visa type is 8501, Allianz is definitely your ideal choice. Nevertheless, you should remember that the start date of OVHC offered by Allianz is after 14 days from the date of payment.

For example, if you successfully make payment on 1 May, the start date of your Allianz OVHC is 15 May. In this case, you can not require to revise your OVHC start date. So we always advise our clients to make payment as soon as possible.

In some cases, when elderly people arrive in Australia, the Australian Customs will check their passport and OVHC cover and if your OVHC is not activated, you do not meet the requirement. In a bad scenario, you will have to fly back to your country and wait for the date that your OVHC is activated.

If you have a plan to Australia, you should be aware of the importance of purchasing OVHC soon.

I trust Allianz Care since it is one of the largest insurance companies in Australia, with the medical centres where I only have to pay for what is left from insurance support. (no need to claim later). Besides, those centres are located at the centre of the city, close to schools. Very convenient, right? Credits to Allianz Care for providing reliable medical centres for health check and treatments.

I’ve been living with homestay family for 2 years. I’m now 19, I can move out but I don’t want to leave my host, who has become my family. It feels like I’ve met my second family. Thanks OSHCstudents for sending me to this homestay!

I realised how important insurance was when I started living in Australia. There I switched to using Allianz Care instead of the previous service. Allianz Care is extraordinarily good in its consulting service and customer care. I’ve learned a lot about Australian health care, also I was consulted with mental issues and how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am very happy now.

Thanks to Allianz Care, every time I claimed my medical receipts it processed much more quickly and easily than I expected. I was initially a bit concerned since Allianz Care is more expensive than other insurance companies, but now I can ensure that it is totally worth the money.
