When do health insurance benefits reset?
If you have Extras cover as part of your health insurance, you may be entitled to a yearly benefit for dental treatment. But don’t let it go to waste—these benefits usually reset every year and typically don’t roll over.
Most health funds have one of three annual reset dates:
- 1st January
- 1st July
- Your policy anniversary date
To get the most out of your dental cover, it’s important to know your reset date and book your appointments before your benefits expire.
We’ve put together a guide to major health fund reset dates so you can maximise your rebates and avoid missing out.
