Phoenix Health COVID Give-Back
Phoenix Health COVID Give-Back
We’re giving back… again!
We made a promise at the beginning of the pandemic that we would not financially benefit from COVID-19, because supporting you is more important to us.
Being there for you when you need us is and always will be our priority, and we’re proud that Phoenix Health to date has committed more than $2.8 million in additional member support measures – including delaying premium increases and introducing health support programs.
Even though it seems a long time since COVID-19 put our lives on hold, we continue to monitor the situation and the claims associated with this period – which for the second year now has allowed us to return money to you.
Here to support your health and wellbeing… now and always
In these challenging times, we understand the financial pressures felt every day, and we want you to know we’re here to support you. In 2022 and 2023 we delayed the approved annual increase to provide you with some premium relief, and for the second year now are making Give-Back payments to members in addition to returning more to members in benefits than many for-profit health funds.
In the 2022 Financial Year, Phoenix Health paid $44.101 million in member claims, including:
Hospital
$26 million in benefits for treatments and services provided to members while admitted to hospital.
Dental
$7 million in dental benefits for healthier smiles on things like check-ups, scale and cleans and fillings.
Optical
$2 million in optical benefits to help members look after their vision and see clearer.
Physio & Chiro
$2 million in physio, chiro and osteopathic benefits to help members move better and recover quicker.
