澳洲急问,临居没有MEDICARE,怎样买保险啊?

在澳大利亚医疗保健




我和老公不是PR,没有MEDICARE卡。加上最近自己生病,感觉看病真是个问题,原来一直以为自己身体好,就没有在意,现在看来应该考虑要买份保险,而且因为小孩子过来了。有几个问题很困惑,请大家指教:

1。我们不是PR是不是就不可以申请MEDICARE CARD?

2。如果要买保险,是不是要买VISITOR INSURANCE,不是一般的PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE?
  因为我看了好多的帖子PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE是建立在MEDICARE的基础上的,也就是说MEDICARE可以COVER的部分,PRIVATE    HEALTH INSURANCE是不COVER的?(不知道我这样理解对不对?
如果是这样的话,那就意味着我们要买的是有MEDICARE性质的保险对么?

3。大家可以帮我看下这个保险好么?http://www.austhealth.com/
   TABLE 120里100% of Australian Health System Fees for Out-Patient Medical *的解释
* Out-Patient medical expenses - 100% Australian Health System Fees, also known as Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) Fees. Doctors generally charge more than the MBS Fees and will leave you with a "gap" or co-payment

是什么意思啊?
这个保险的性价比可以么?或者有没有和我类似情况的,有什么更好的推荐?

问题多多,先谢谢拉!

不知道你们什么签证。 你关于private health insurance的理解是对的,是建立在medicare的基础上的。

如果是一般访客,要买visitors insurance

评论
如果lz是临居并且已经申请了PR,根据新条款应该是可以有medicare 的。

评论


AS姐姐,我们拿的是163签证,我查了移民局网站,上面对我们的签证有这样的解释
With this visa you are unable to access Medicare, the Australian Government medical expenses and hospital care scheme.
See: www.medicare.gov.au

Private Health Insurance is available to you, but it is not a requirement for the grant of this visa

这样是不是就意味着我们不可以申请MEDICARE呀?

评论

还没有开始申请,要今年年底才可以申请,那看来是不是只能买VISITOR INSURANCE咯?

评论


这是我研究过的最便宜的visitor cover了,但是only apply to working visa。如果LZ符合资格,我觉得这个保险不错的。

评论
对呀,我就是看了你的帖子才找到的,还真要谢谢你呢。但是这段解释我不明白,可以帮忙看下么?什么意思啊?就是它和MEDICARE CARD的作用一样?所谓的GAP是不COVER的?GAP是什么意思啊?

评论


GAP就是实际费用和Medicare涵盖的费用上限之间的差额,比如说,X光Medicare能报销80元,但诊所实收100元,那100-80=20元就是GAP,也就是你自己要掏腰包的部分。

使用这个保险和Medicare卡的区别是,使用Medicare卡你可以直接刷卡,然后付差额,而用保险,你必须先支付全额,然后再从保险公司那里报销Medicare卡涵盖的部分。

评论
哦,是这样,那如果小孩子看看病或者大人看常见病是不是买个这样的保险就差不多拉?一个季度460刀,如果要COVER GAP的话要930刀,好象太贵了点哦。MEDICARE是不是不能看中医的啊?

评论


你看看保不保Emergency?很多小孩发起烧来都是半夜去Emergency的。如果不保,那就贵了。

如果有条件,应该买含牙科的保险,每人每年最好能上牙医那里检查2次,及早预防牙病。如果没有条件,每年回国一定要去看牙医,否则,积重难返生活质量大大下降,治疗费用也会很高。还有小孩,一口健康的牙齿可以让他/她以后不被同龄人歧视。

评论
cover Hospital Emergency Room
有这样一条,这个是不是你说的Emergency?

COVER的内容有以下
    *  100% In-Hospital (In-Patient) expenses covered (eg. medical, accommodation, specialists, medicines and drugs etc)
    * Hospital Emergency Room
    * Rehabilitation programmes following hospitalisation, including continuing out-patient treatment
    * 100% ambulance cover
    * Medical repatriation to your home country
    * Funeral Expenses
    * * Out-Patient medical expenses - 100% Australian Health System Fees, also known as Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) Fees. Doctors generally charge more than the MBS Fees and will leave you with a "gap" or co-payment

评论
这个内容应该够用了

评论
那算包括小孩子半夜去医院挂急诊么?还有就是那个GAP会不会很离谱啊?

评论
包括了

评论
既然这样那我们就买这个吧,460一个QUARTER还算挺合算的吧?如果要包括DENTAL就要1250刀一个季度了,我觉得小贵了点。反正年底就有望申请PR,到那时候有了MEDICARE再去买个有DENTAL的PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE也可以的吧?

评论
当然,有medicare了以后,你再看下我关于private insurance的帖子,光买extra看牙和眼睛,还是非常便宜的

评论
section 3  Elective surgery expense

In-hospital expense and same day surgery expense for elective surgery up to a maximum of A$2000 per person per annum in total for non-critical surgery determined as elective by a Medcial Practitioner appointed by the health fund.


请问这个是什么意思啊?就是说如果手术的话,最多就报销2000块?
还有这里HOSPITAL的概念都是指的公立医院么?

评论
因为网上是这样描述的-100% In-Hospital Private Cover
这里PRIVATE COVER的概念是可以看私立医院么?

评论



住院费(包括门诊手术费),每人每年上限2000.对致命疾病的手术除外,由保险公司的医学专家来判断是否致命。

评论

有上下文吗?从字面理解,这里的private未必是私立医院,而是你本人掏钱买的保险(而不是medicare)称为private cover -- 个人意见。

评论

100% In-Hospital (In-Patient) expenses covered (eg. medical, accommodation, specialists, medicines and drugs etc)

不是说100% In-Hospital (In-Patient) expenses covered的么?怎么又说上限是2000呢?那么这个100%COVER的概念应该是指项目,不是指所有的诊金咯?CONFUSING

评论
住院的话医疗费,住院费,专科医生,药等费用,都cover,但是上限是2000刀。我觉得说了满清楚呀
