see-u extras cover
Is see-u Easy Extras worth it?
For one adult in NSW, it pays back more than it costs in one of the three ways of using extras worked through below, and costs more than it pays back in the other two. It is $17.04 a month before the rebate, $12.93 after.
Three ways of using it
Worked for one adult in NSW, under 65, on the 24.118% rebate, over a year, at typical prices: $200 for general dental, $300 for optical and $90 for physiotherapy.
One dental check-up a year
$130 behind
That costs $200 with no cover. On this policy you’d pay $155 in premiums and get $25 back.
9th of the 219 policies from funds anyone can join that cover this. nib’s DentalPass does best, $120 better off over the year.
Two dental visits and new glasses
$105 behind
That costs $700 with no cover. On this policy you’d pay $155 in premiums and get $50 back. It pays nothing towards optical.
Against the 189 policies from funds anyone can join that cover this, it would sit 29th. Latrobe’s Core Essential Extras does best, $154 better off over the year.
Two dental visits, new glasses and six physio sessions
+$45 ahead
That costs $1,240 with no cover. On this policy you’d pay $155 in premiums and get $200 back. It pays nothing towards optical.
Against the 181 policies from funds anyone can join that cover this, it would sit 44th. HCF’s Flex My Extras does best, $325 better off over the year.
Your year won’t look like any of those.
