We also offer Ancillary cover (more commonly known as Extras cover) which can be combined with your Hospital Cover. At Queensland Country Health we have two levels of Extras cover that pay benefits for a range of health services such as Dental, Optical and Physiotherapy which are not covered by Medicare.

As Queensland Country Health’s Extras cover is not a stand alone product you’ll need to combine it with one of our hospital covers and with two options to choose from you can be confident that you’ll be covered from head to toe. The choice of Essential Extras or Premium Extras is up to you.

Extras options

Our Essential Extras cover provides a comprehensive range of therapies and benefits with lower limits and premiums and our Premium Extras cover provides you and your family with the same comprehensive range of therapies and benefits with generous limits to ensure out-of-pocket expenses are kept to a minimum.

Preferred providers

We have negotiated agreements with a large number of health service providers which means when you visit one of our preferred providers you will receive great discounts. Luxottica is a leading provider of eye care and eyewear in Australia and we are pleased to announce they have recently become a Queensland Country Health Fund preferred optical provider. Visit our Optical section for more details about Luxottica discounts.

Annual limits

Annual overall Limits for Dental and Therapies cover will be increased based on years of membership. After a policy has been held for on year, the annual overall limit will increase for both Dental and Therapies by $50 per year to a maximum of $250 per person covered. For example, if a Member has held a policy for 5 years and has Premium Extras, the annual limit will have increased from $1,400 per person at the start of the first year to $1,650 per person at the beginning of the sixth year.
