RECOVER COVER FAQS
Do I need to have private health insurance with HCF to apply for Recover Cover?
For most of our products, you won’t need to have HCF private health insurance to apply for Recover Cover. But you’ll need a couple or family level of HCF private health insurance to take out a family level of Cash Back Cover or a family level of Critical Illness Cover.
Why would I apply for Recover Cover if I have health insurance?
We're lucky in Australia – our healthcare system has most accidents and illnesses covered. But sometimes the costs don't stop when you leave hospital. That’s where Recover Cover comes in – it gives you cash to help with the costs of recovery you weren't expecting, like taxis to the doctor, extra rehab, hospital parking, babysitters or help if you need time off work.
