Overview of who the Mildura policies may be good for

Mildura Health Fund is good if:

  • You live near or in Mildura, Victoria. There's no excess on day procedures at Mildura Private Hospital and you can see a range of specialists without having to pay a gap fee.
  • You want affordable premiums. Mildura is a not-for-profit, which helps keep premiums affordable in comparison to other health insurers. Basic plus hospital cover costs around $153 a month and gold cover costs around $237 a month.

Mildura Health Fund is not great if:

  • You like to have lots of options. Mildura only offers two hospital policies and three extras policies. In comparison, Medibank has nine hospital policies and five extras policies.
  • You want a middle-of-the-road hospital policy. You can only get basic plus or gold hospital cover. Bronze and silver policies aren't available.

Keep in mind, the best health insurance for you will depend on a range of factors so it's good to research a few options.
