Medical

You can claim the difference between the Medicare benefit and the doctor’s fee you paid. You can only claim for the amount not covered by:

  • your private travel or health insurance
  • other state or territory funded programs.

Medicines

This includes the full cost of Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) and other eligible medicines. But only if your private travel or health insurance doesn’t cover medicine.
