Optical rolling limits

Rolling limits apply to glasses and lenses benefits on RBHS Premium Extras cover. 

RBHS optical benefits were designed to be as generous as possible by doubling our first year $460 optical limit into a $920 second year limit. After the first two years, the benefits stay at the high $920 limit.  

The benefits 

Glasses can be very expensive and we allow you to claim 90% back on glasses & contact lenses. 

  • $920 category limit in any 2 rolling years per person

Rolling limits 

Rolling limits mean that RBHS members with two years of continuous RBHS Premium Extras cover are able to claim up to $920 every two years for glasses and contact lenses. We have grouped the benefits together in two years so that the maximum claim can be double what would have been an annual limit of $460.
