Switching cover

We understand the potential impact for our patients who are Bupa or AHSA health fund members. The last thing we want to do is impose any additional costs on patients during a cost of living crisis.  We remain ready as always to negotiate a fair funding agreement with both Bupa and the AHSA health funds that properly and sustainably addresses the rising costs facing private hospitals now and into the future.

Bupa and AHSA fund members can avoid any future additional hospital fees by switching their cover to another health fund without re-serving waiting periods when transferring to a comparable product.*

ACHA has agreements in place with all other major Australian health insurers including HCF, Medibank, NIB and St Lukes Health.

Fund members can discuss these options by contacting Bupa on on 134 135 or their specific AHSA fund (visit https://ahsa.au/our-funds/ for details).
