Private health insurance membership has been growing since June 2020

After the COVID-19 oral health blip, many of us need to get back on top of our regular preventative check-ups.

Every year we send out our member survey and benchmark ourselves against similar health funds and our results from previous years. Thank you to the 415 members who responded to the survey request as part of the Members Health Fund Alliance annual Membership Satisfaction Survey of 12 funds.

RBHS has successfully negotiated a new hospital contract with Adventist HealthCare, which had previously been terminated on 7th February 2022.

More Australians are covered by hospital & extras policies now than at any time in the past twenty years, according to the latest government statistics. Why the uptick in health cover?

You may have already quit sugar and reduced your red meat portions, but did you know that you may need to cut back on salt too? While salt in small quantities might even be good for your health, the bottom line is that Australians eat way too much; almost double the recommended amount according to the Heart Foundation.

In December 2021, we notified members that Adventist HealthCare planned to terminate its hospital contract with RBHS effective from 7th February 2022.

You should have received communication from us by now about an increase to your RBHS premiums from 1 April 2022. If you cannot find anything in your inbox or mailbox from us, please let us know as soon as possible. For more information, please see our Frequently Asked Questions.

The RBHS is a proud not-for-profit private health insurer who is committed to supporting our members through the COVID-19 pandemic. We experienced lower claims than expected since the start of the pandemic and in recognition of this, the RBHS Board has decided to return some excess funds to its members.

RBHS is committed to providing members with private hospital options that represent the highest quality and best value. Regrettably, we have not reached an agreement with Adventist HealthCare on the terms and conditions that we believe are fair charges, and to avoid pressure on the current level of your health fund contributions.
