You might also ask
When should I start looking?
Whenever something bothers you. Antenatal classes are usually mid-to-late pregnancy, so book ahead.
Does this replace antenatal check-ups?
No. These are extra support; keep your check-ups with your doctor or midwife.
What should I look at before rebates?
First work out what kind of care you need, who provides it and how they charge, then see what Extras pays. Rebates only matter once the service is right.
Can I use ExtrasMate without private health insurance?
Yes. The service guide and provider search are free for everyone; you just pay the provider yourself.
Once I've chosen, how do I know if Extras will pay?
Ask the provider for the item number and price, then check in your insurer's app or by phone. Or add us on WeChat and we'll check for you.
Is a provider offer the same as an Extras rebate?
No. Rebates are paid by your insurer under your policy; offers are discounts from the provider. Their conditions differ, so confirm each.
What can you do on WeChat? Can you book for me?
Yes. We can explain your policy's conditions, compare providers, find offers that apply and book for you, free.
