TOWER Cover4Health™

Health insurance doesn't need to be difficult. That's why we've created a product that can look after the whole family, and that accepts you on the spot. While pre-existing medical conditions are not covered for the first three years of cover, many are covered after that, letting you get on with life instead of worrying about medical bills. We've attached the policy document further down the page so you can understand what's covered.

If you were to get sick, health insurance could help ensure faster access to treatment. It allows you to go to a private hospital and choose from a range of treatment options, all of which aim to get you back on your feet and enjoying life. We know you don't want to worry about your finances while recuperating, and health insurance lets you focus on what's important.

Features of TOWER Cover4Health

Because insurance can sometimes be confusing, we've developed TOWER Cover4Health to help make health insurance easier to understand. Our straightforward policy offers you:

  • Up to $300,000 each year for private hospital surgical costs. These are the costs associated with your surgery, such as the tools used and time spent by surgical staff

  • Up to $200,000 each year for private hospital medical costs, including cover for cancer treatment. This looks after costs connected with hospital stays for treatment that doesn't involve surgery, for example heart disease, diabetes or chemotherapy

  • Associated specialist consultation, diagnostic investigations, radiology and imaging costs that directly relate to your hospitalisation

  • A wellness benefit for each adult after every three years of cover, providing you up to $100 towards a health check up
And once you've decided to take out cover, we've arranged it so you are automatically accepted and covered from the get-go. Although any pre-existing medical conditions are not covered, we will cover many of them once you've had your policy for just three years. 


Optional features of TOWER Cover4Health

Sometimes you want a little bit more security, so once your policy is in force you have the choice to take out additional cover with our Serious Condition Lump Sum Option. This option pays out a lump sum of either $20,000 or $50,000 if you suffer from certain trauma conditions.

With TOWER Cover4Health you can also choose to:

  • Reduce your premiums by selecting from a range of excess options
  • Cover your family under the same policy
