What is an Excess Bonus?
Some hospital covers offer the Excess Bonus feature, which entitles you to 1 excess-free overnight or same day hospital admission per calendar year on a single or single parent membership, and 2 excess-free overnight or same day hospital admission per calendar year on a family membership. If you have hospital cover that offers the Excess Bonus feature and have also accumulated Excess Bonus dollars prior to 1 April 2007, you will be able to use your Excess Bonus dollars towards the payment of any excess on a dollar for dollar basis once you have used your excess-free hospital admission/s.
