Important Information
SPORTSCOVER AUSTRALIA PTY LTD is the administrator of the Personal Accident Policy (arranged by JLT Sport) for the National Hockey Insurance Programme. Sportscover administers all claims associated with this policy for the 2012/2013 period.
The Health Insurance Act (Cth) 1973 does not permit the Insurer to reimburse any costs for medical treatments that are registered with Medicare (this includes the Medicare Gap).
As Sportscover is a NON MEDICARE MEDICAL INSURER, they are prevented by government legislation from covering the MEDICARE GAP. This means that in most cases, a service that is performed by a registered Medical Practitioner will not be covered by the policy.
Some examples of expenses NOT claimable through this section include:
- The Gap between the registered Medical Practitioner’s fee and the amount you receive back from medicare for the following medical services: Doctors, Surgeons, Anaesthetists, Pathologists & Radiologists. And;
- Other items where a Medicare refund (in any part) is recoverable
