What is the private health insurance rebate?

The private health insurance rebate is worked out as a percentage of the premium paid to a registered health insurer for a complying private health insurance policy. The percentage of rebate you may be entitled to claim is determined by the age of the oldest person covered by the policy (see How the rebate works). The rebate is not affected by your level of income.

You are eligible for the rebate only if every person who is covered by the policy is eligible to claim benefits under the Medicare system. Your health insurer should have sent you your private health insurance statement showing the details of your rebate level.

 Note

    If you have statements from all of the health insurers you paid premiums to and the amounts at G on your statements are 0 you have already received your full entitlement.
