Does Police Health limit members to certain obstetricians or private hospitals?

No, we give you the freedom to choose. One of the many benefits of private health insurance is having the option to choose who treats you and where. 

With Police Health, you can choose; 

• Your own obstetrician who can provide a tailored service to your needs
• If you'd like to see the same doctor or midwife throughout your pregnancy
• Which hospital you give birth at
• To request your own private room 

You can choose these as long as the provider is recognised by us. Recognised Providers are different to the 'Preferred Providers' you may hear about through other health funds. 

When we say Recognised Providers we are simply referring to providers with the appropriate qualifications, licenses and rights to provide treatments to patients in Australia. The rest is down to your preference. 

It may also be worth asking if your Obstetrician is an Access Gap Doctor that can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses . You can use our ‘Find an Access Gap Doctor’ and our Find a ‘Contracted Hospital’ on our website. This can help you potentially avoid or significantly lower your out of pocket fees.
