Dear Carolina

Subject to receipt of the relevant premiums, I certify that the following person(s)

Primary Applicant Carolina Liwanag Member 19/01/1944


Secondary Applicant/s:

is/are, or will immediately upon their arrival in Australia be, covered by Health insurance that is at
least as comprehensive as the minimum level of insurance required by the Australian Department of
Home Affairs set out at Attachment A. In order to have received this letter you have paid at least one
month’s premium in advance. Once you arrive in Australia, please make sure your direct debit
payment details have been updated so your cover can continue. You must continue to pay your
premiums to maintain your health insurance cover, otherwise Allianz Global Assistance may need to
cancel your policy, which may mean you are no longer compliant with your visa requirements.

Your membership will commence on 15/04/2019 which is the arrival date you specified. If your arrival
date changes, you can contact us before you arrive to change your start date.

By providing this letter to Department of Home Affairs you are also agreeing that Allianz Global
Assistance may notify Department of Home Affairs if you cancel, or fail to renew, your health
insurance policy, or if your health insurance policy is terminated.

If you have any questions about your health insurance cover, please contact Allianz Global
Assistance by emailing ovhc@allianz-assistance.com.au or by telephoning 1300 727 193.

Kind regards,

Allianz Global Assistance


Attachment A
Insurance benefits at least equivalent to:

a) Public hospital – admitted patient treatment, a benefit equal to the State and Territory health authority gazetted rates for ineligible patients for:
 overnight and day only hospital accommodation (all costs including: all theatre, intensive care, labour wards, ward drugs);
 emergency department fees that lead to an admission;
 admitted patient care and post operative services that are a continuation of care associated with an early discharge from hospital.

Note: for the purpose of clarity this includes all admitted treatments covered by the Medicare Benefit Schedule.

b) Surgically implanted prostheses – no gap prostheses and gap permitted prostheses as listed in the Private Health Insurance (Prostheses) Rules 2007: Benefit at least
equal to 100% of minimum benefit amount listed.

c) Pharmacy – all PBS listed drugs that are prescribed according to the PBS approved indications, that are administered during and form part of an admitted episode of
care - a benefit equal to the PBS listed price in excess of the patient contribution.

Note: For the purpose of clarity, this definition is intended to include the cost of PBS listed drugs administered post discharge – if they form part of the admitted episode
of care.

d) Medical services – admitted medical services with an MBS item number – 100% of the Medicare Benefits Schedule fee, or less if the patient is charged less.

e) Ambulance services – 100% of the charge, that is not otherwise covered by third party arrangements, for transport by ambulance provided by, or under an arrangement
with, a government approved ambulance service when medically necessary for admission to hospital, emergency treatment on-site, or inter-hospital transfer for
emergency treatment.

Note: For the purpose of clarity, this definition is intended to include inter-hospital transfers that are necessary because the original admitting hospital does not have the
required clinical facilities. It does not extend to transfers due to patient preferences.

Other minimum health insurance policy features

f) Informed Financial Consent


Insurers will make available membership eligibility checking to hospitals to enable the provision of informed financial consent to members on admission.

g) Waiting periods
To comply with the minimum level of health insurance, the only waiting periods that maybe imposed are:
 12 months for pregnancy related conditions;
 12 months for pre-existing conditions applied in a way that is consistent with Section 75-15 of the Private Health Insurance Act 2007.
 2 months for psychiatric, rehabilitation and palliative care, regardless of whether or not the condition is a pre-existing.

h) Excluded treatments
To comply with the minimum level of health insurance, the only admitted patient treatments that may be excluded are:
 Assisted reproductive treatments;
 Elective cosmetic treatments;
 Bone marrow and organ transplants;

Insurance policies may also exclude the following:


 Treatment rendered outside of Australia including treatment necessary en route to or from Australia;
 Treatment arranged in advance of the insured’s arrival in Australia;
 Services and treatment which are covered by compensation and damages provisions of any kind

Note: insurers are not required to exclude these treatments. A decision to cover them is at the discretion of the insurer.

i) Global annual benefit limits


To comply with the minimum level of health insurance, the per person per annum, benefit must not be less than $1 million dollars.

j) Portability
To comply with the minimum level of health insurance, when determining waiting periods, insurers must recognise previous length of membership on a policy held with
another Australian insurer that meets the minimum standards. That is:
 When transferring between Australian based insurers where the customer has been a member of the previous fund for greater than 12 months, waiting periods of no
greater than 12 months will apply to the higher level of benefits.
 When transferring between Australian based insurers where the customer has been a member of the previous fund for less than 12 months, any unserved waiting
periods will need to be completed with the new fund and if increasing the level of cover or benefits, additional waiting periods of no greater than 12 months will apply to
the higher level of benefits. These waiting periods are served concurrently.

To comply with the minimum level of health insurance an insurer must agree to:
 grant a member who seeks to transfer between Australian based insurers, continuity of cover for up to 30 days from the date they leave the previous insurer; and
 provide members, who terminate their policy, with a clearance certificate, approved by the Department of Home Affairs, within 14 days of the date of termination or the
date of notification of the termination, whichever is the later.

k) Buy out clauses


To comply with the minimum level of health insurance, a policy must not contain a buy out clause that has the effect of terminating the insurers liabilities in exchange for
a pre-determined lump sum payment.

l) Arrears
To comply with the minimum level of health insurance an insurer will allow for acceptance of premiums for 60 days from the last financial date of membership without
terminating the membership. Insurers are not obligated to pay for treatments received during any arrears period until and unless the arrears are paid for the relevant
period.
