Hi, Glenn Campbell here, I’m CEO of rt health fund. Before you get started I just wanted to take a quick moment to say ‘G’day’ and to point out a few things about rt that you might find interesting. 1. We’re the health fund for transport and electricity industry people. If you or a member of your family currently work in the transport or electricity industries, or ever have, or if you work for a company that provides services to the transport or electricity industries, then you’re eligible to join. 2. We’re a mutual not-for-profit fund. That means we’re owned by our members. We have no reason for existing other than to provide our members with the best possible health cover at the best possible price. We return 93% of contributions to members through claims payments;

with us, it’s all about a better deal for members, not shareholders. 3. We’ve been looking after Australian workers since 1889. We’ve been providing health cover to people in the transport and electricity industries for 120 years, so we’ve had a long time to get it right. 4. We have a simple range of great value health covers. In fact, Australian Financial Review’s Smart Investor magazine named us one of Australia’s ‘best-value health funds’ (June 2008). We keep it simple too – no tricky fine print, no fancy footwork to trip you up. What you see is what you get. And you’ll be pleasantly surprised to see how our prices compare too. More often than not we find we can save people hundreds on their health cover; it’s the type of deal you’d expect from your industry health fund.

We want to help you make sure that you’ve made the right decisions for yourself and your family when that day comes. Our team are experts in our health covers and in how the healthcare system works. Everything we do is designed to make it easier for you to understand, easier to make the right choices, and easier to get the most from your health cover. This brochure is designed to help you choose the right rt health cover for you. So let us guide you step-by-step through the key decisions you need to make, and help you to bear in mind some important considerations along the way. But if you don’t want to do this by yourself, you don’t have to! Simply call our member care team and we’ll talk you through the options, help you to compare your current health cover with what rt can offer, and even give you a hand finding your way through the application form.

We really would love to welcome you and your family on board as new rt heath fund members, so whatever you need, we’re here to help. Thanks for stopping by to find out more about us, my team and I look forward to being of service to you.

You’ll also find some interesting health tips throughout this brochure. So, while you’re finding out more about rt health cover, we hope you take some healthy tips away with you too.

an easy guide to your level of cover our top level of cover 04

Before we start talking about the ins and outs of our different cover choices, here’s a quick overview to help you understand what ‘level’ of cover they each offer. Most people like to take a combination of hospital and extras – it gives you peace of mind knowing that you have options available if you have a hospital stay, as well as the added benefit of rebates on a range of day-to-day and preventative health things like dental, optical, massage, natural therapies and so on. With the exception of our Fit and Healthy Cover which only comes as a package, you can choose a hospital and extras combo, or you can take just hospital or just extras – whatever suits you. We’ve shown the different combinations of hospital and extras packages here. For all the details on each of our covers, check out pages 10-15.

Private Hospital + Extras • This is a great hospital and extras package. There are no exclusions with our Private Hospital Cover; you’re covered for treatment in the hospital of your choice, with the doctor of your choice. And our Extras Cover gives you generous rebates on a huge range of health and wellbeing products, services and treatments. • You can choose to take an excess with Private Hospital, which will reduce the cost. • You get a discount by taking Private Hospital + Extras together, although you can take just one or the other if you prefer. • Some benefit limitations apply if you take Extras Cover by itself, make sure you’re happy with these before you make your choice.

2. who’s in your family? There are a number of things that are useful to bear in mind when choosing health cover. They certainly aren’t the only things you may need to consider, so think of them as ‘conversation starters’ to help you make the right choice, or to help our team help you.

Whatever type of family you have take a quick look at the key considerations for each of the others too, it’ll help you get the full picture of everything you should keep in mind when deciding which cover is right for you.

Who’s covered

Things to consider

Just you (female)

One of the main differences between health cover choices for men and women is the question of whether you want to be covered for pregnancy. While it might not be a top priority right now, it’s never a bad idea to think about whether you might want the option of being covered sometime in the future. Our Private Hospital Cover is the only one that gives you full coverage for pregnancy in the hospital of your choice with the doctor of your choice. If you start with a lower level of hospital cover you can always upgrade, but remember that a 12-month waiting period will apply from the time you upgrade, so you won’t be covered for pregnancy immediately. When it comes to making the choice for other aspects of your health cover, check out the issues below as most of these will apply to you too.

Just you (male)

Key things for you to think about include your age, how healthy you are, whether you have any specific health concerns and if you want cover for things like physio, optical, dental, massage, natural therapies, vaccines and so on. If you’re a younger guy, or someone who’s a bit older but still ten-foot tall and bulletproof, you might be interested in our Fit and Healthy Cover. This is a great ‘entry level’ cover and we keep the price down for you by excluding some things that you might not need. Check that this suits you before you choose this one.

Couple (opposite sex or same sex)

Take a look at all of the considerations for singles on the previous page, because they’re probably going to be relevant for you too. If you’re planning a family, choosing a cover that includes pregnancy means you can easily transfer to a family membership that will cover all of you at no extra cost ... no matter how many you add to your brood!

Family (two adults and any number of kids)

Most families know all too well about the costs associated with dentist appointments, braces, new glasses, prescription medications, a little speech therapy, a trip to the hospital every now and then and the occasional remedial massage to iron out all the kinks – so you’ll want to make sure you’re getting the best cover you can to help you through. If you’re considering anything less than our Private Hospital + Extras, be careful to note the exclusions and the lower benefits that apply to other covers before making your final choice. When they’re grown, your children can stay on your membership until they are 21 years old. After that, if they are studying full-time they can remain at no additional cost until their 25th birthday – then it really is time for them to get their own cover! Thanks to your history with rt health fund, they’ll not only be automatically eligible for membership, but if they transfer to their own rt heath cover within 60 days of leaving yours they can join with no waiting periods to serve.

Single parent family (one adult and any number of kids)

All of the above applies to you too, and the only real difference is that our hospital covers all offer a price break to single parent families. Since there’s only one adult under a single parent family cover, it’s a little less expensive than a family cover with two adults. Not many health funds offer a special category of cover for single parent families, but we’re all about real-life health cover to suit reallife families.

Your brain is the first place you lose water from when you become dehydrated. If you have a headache, or if you’re having trouble concentrating, try drinking a glass of water instead of going for the painkillers or caffeine … it’s natural, it’s good for you and it really does help. Jennifer Jefferies, 7 Steps to Sanity

3. choosing a hospital cover How does hospital cover work? When you go into hospital there are three different types of costs: 1. The hospital’s costs. These are all the costs associated with your accommodation and treatment – your bed, the ward, your food, the nursing staff, all the equipment they use, all the bits of machinery they connect you up to and so on. You can be covered for 100% of these costs if you go to a hospital that has a contract with rt. Since we have contracts with most private hospitals and day facilities in the country, chances are you’ll be okay, but we do recommend that our members check with us before booking their hospital stay. 2. The doctors’ costs. Every doctor and health professional who sees you will charge his or her own fees. This includes your surgeon, anesthetist, other specialists, pathologist, radiologist, physiotherapist and plenty of behind-the-scenes people you may never even lay eyes on during your hospital stay. Medicare and your health cover might not pay 100% of their costs and this is where most out-of-pocket expenses come from. Here’s why: every procedure or treatment you have in a hospital has a fee associated with it that has been set by the government as the amount that can be paid for the service between Medicare and your health fund. It’s called the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) fee. Medicare pays 75% of the MBS fee, and by law health funds can cover the remaining 25%, but can’t pay any more than that. Doctors can charge any amount

which hospital cover suits you best? above the MBS fee, and the difference ends up being an out-of-pocket expense for you. There are some things you can do to be aware of, reduce, or even avoid out-of-pocket expenses, and we can help you work through these. If you’re interested in knowing more now, we recommend you contact our member care team, and as a member of rt health fund, we always recommend you contact us before going to hospital so we can help you work through what’s going to happen and how to best manage the costs. 3. Prostheses, drugs, and other costs. Most of these will be covered, but there are a couple of restrictions on the types of prostheses and pharmaceuticals that we can pay for. These will mostly apply to items that are not covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) or the federal government-approved Prostheses List. Again, we recommend that our members check with our member care team before going into hospital so they know exactly how much they’ll be covered for.

Excess

Optional excess keeps the price down.

No exclusions. If Medicare pays a benefit on the treatment, service or procedure you’re having, then it’s covered by your Private Hospital Cover.

No exclusions, but you are only fully covered for treatment in a public hospital. Admission to a private hospital will leave you with substantial out-of-pocket costs.

Provides support from the time of conception until baby’s first birthday, includes unlimited telephone and email access to midwives, pregnancy website and a gift on the birth of your baby.

things you mightout be wonder ing ab

How do I know what I’m covered for? It’s easier than it seems. First, you must be admitted to a hospital or day surgery as an inpatient. And second, if Medicare pays a benefit for the treatment, service or procedure, then you’re covered by your rt hospital cover (unless the cover you choose specifically excludes it).

Will I lose the time I’ve built up with my current health fund? You won’t have to serve waiting periods again if you’re transferring to rt from an equivalent or higher level of cover with another health fund, or if you’ve been covered by your parents’ membership and you’re just starting out with your own, as long as it’s not more than two months since you cancelled or left your last health cover.

4. choosing a general treatment cover You probably know this as ‘extras’ or ‘ancillary’ cover, these days the health insurance industry calls it general treatment cover. It’s cover for the types of healthcare services that you might want to have outside of hospital. It includes things like dental, optical, physio, prescriptions, vaccines, massage and a huge range of other things that are not covered by Medicare. We have three options when it comes to choosing a general treatment cover:

All limits shown here are per person per calendar year unless otherwise stated. Please note, this is summary information. Full details are available in the rt A-Z guide which you will receive when you join. If you’d like a copy beforehand to help you make your cover choice, please call our member care team on 1300 886 123.

1. Extras Cover + hospital cover – gives you our top level of extras cover. 2. Extras Cover without a hospital cover – provides excellent benefits but bundles some into combined limits. 3. Extras cover as part of a ‘fit and healthy cover’ package – provides good cover for the fit and healthy but keeps the cost down by leaving out some things. This is a lower level of cover than you’d get with our main Extras Cover.

Most of us should be walking at least 10,000 steps a day in order to be considered ‘active’. A pedometer is a simple and inexpensive way of tracking how active you really are. If you need to boost your daily step count, try walking just five minutes longer each day than you did the day before. You’ll be hitting 10,000 steps a day before you know it! www.10000steps.org.au

7. How much is it going to cost? You’ll find a comprehensive price list tucked into the pocket at the back of this brochure, with all the pricing information you need (if someone has beaten you to it, give our member care team a call for a quote on 1300 886 123, or use the online quote calculator on our website at www.rthealthfund.com.au). There are a few things that affect the price of your health cover that you might be interested in: • Do you have a lifetime health cover loading? A government loading applies to anyone who hasn’t taken out hospital cover before their 31st birthday. For every year you are over 31 when you first take out hospital cover you will incur a 2% loading. When you’ve held your cover continuously for ten years the loading will be removed. • What rebate are you entitled to? Depending on your age you will be entitled to a 30% (up to age 64), 35% (age 65 to 69) or 40% (70 and over) government rebate on the cost of your health cover. I f you need more information on these or other government programs that relate to private health insurance, let us know or visit the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing website at www.health.gov.au. • Are you a single parent family? Our hospital covers are less expensive for single parent family memberships than they are for family memberships that cover two adults.

remember

, taking hospital and extras cover together is better value.

How does rt compare? We think you’ll find we compare very well. More often than not we find we can offer people a better price on the same or even a higher level of cover than they currently have. Our team can help you work through the process of comparing your current cover with what rt has to offer. If you prefer, you can do some simple comparisons yourself using the government website, www.privatehealth.gov.au. All health funds submit their Standard Information Statements (SISs) to this website. SISs are designed to set out the details of all health fund products in a similar way, making it easier for people to compare.
