​

EXTENDED MEDICARE SAFETY NETS

If you have crossed the Extended Medicare Safety Nets family threshold for the current year

You are likely to get substantially more back from Medicare -the basic rebate PLUS 80% of the Out of Pocket gap, which is approximately 85% of the full fee.

Many fertility and private obstetric patients cross this threshold.

​

You can easily check if you have crossed the Safety Net Threshold on your MyGov app under "Medicare".   If you have a new baby, make sure you call Medicare on 132 011 ASAP to register your baby and other family members for Safety Nets as part of your family so your family all share this threshold until 31st December. (Note that this is separate from enrolling your baby for a Medicare card.)​​
